Day 36 - anxiety
Unfortunately my return to work anxiety has come back. I return in mid January and just last night I was reminded of the stigma and the shame I'll face and it's really getting to me.
I'm trying to distract myself with chores, dog walks, coffee, and reading. Social media makes it worse so I'm taking the day off.

My last drink was October 24, 2016
The last time I was at work was October 26th.
I have been on leave for anxiety and depression.
I go back to work on February 6th and I am not looking forward to it...but I have to work. My job played a major role in my alcoholism, anxiety and depression but I think I have the coping skills to deal with it and stay sober.
Good luck and hang in there...I feel your pain.

I'm thankful and grateful to be going back to a job but I can't help feeling my reputation is in tatters.

My co workers believe I had a nervous breakdown; that is also embarrassing. My nervous breakdown, panic attacks, depression - whatever you want to call it - was intensified by my alcoholism.

That may be but in this day and age anyone with a brain knows that alcoholism is a disease and nothing to be ashamed of.

How about you?
