I've been frequenting this forum for years now. Usually during the guilty withdrawal process. It helps reading that other have gone through the same thing. But this last 5 days were bad. I'm so afraid to go into work. Mond because of calling out for the week.

Welcome to your first post Jax. I really hope you can share and ask questions and find what you need here to get sober. Being here is a first good step.

Welcome aboard.

I can relate to past guilt from calling out/missing work due to binges. It's a nightmarish feeling. Cost me a previous job eventually. It sounds like you don't want to live that way anymore, and you don't have to. Keep posting and figure out a way to quit, plenty of good advice here

Good to have you join us Jaxsyer. I've done the same thing with work. The dread and guilt were awful - that's why it feels so good to get free. This never has to happen again. We are with you.

Welcome, Jax,

Don't let the guilt and shame keep you down. You can move on and live a sober life.

Thanks everyone. Best part is I have jury duty today which I would have been able to postpone if I was cognate. So it'll be a tough day for sure.

I know that feeling all too well.

How you doing Jaxsyer? Make it through jury duty?

I can understand your nervousness, I do not want to come across as being "harsh" but the calling out for a week is concerning, would you a agree?

Welcome to the forum Jaxsyer84.

Yeah, it was tough and I have to go in again tomorrow so I'll be getting zero sleep. I work nights and do not want to take anymore days off. Even though he has a few overtime during the day which I can't do now I suppose. Concerning? I agree... I mean what do I even say. I want to go to my primary care MD but can't even do that now with this jury thing. I yet to have talk to him about my problem but I think it's time. I've done this before.. The calling out. Since my divorce 6 months ago I have binge a few times.

No idea what your profession is but most larger companies have a very confidential and understanding policy regarding alcohol. Even smaller companies that have a boss with some compassion will allow you to heal. In all fairness I had to can 2 guys recently due to alcohol, but they were given chances to turn it around and simply didn't. But I ALWAYS give them a chance and I only have 4 full time guys.
