So I lost my job late last week because of excessive absences. (After 6 years) Many short periods of soberness..longest was 66 days. I went on a 4 day str8 drinking binge... up until Fri night. Finally feeling a bit normal today. I was so depressed up until today (lets hope it can only get better) Today is my 3rd day of not drinking and I have no feelings to drink again. I used to blame my excessive drinking on my lifestyle (the gay lifestyle seems like its nothing but partying) but I have to own it and not place blame on anything but myself. Here's to hoping YOU and I can stay strong the rest of this day.<3

Sorry to hear you lost your job... That really sucks. Hopefully this helps you stay focused on what you're trying to do here. I do hear what you're saying about the gay lifestyle and how it's pretty party focused -- but keep in mind -- so are a lot of other lifestyles. College life... People in the military... People on sports teams... People who work in the service industry... People who hunt... Europeans... The list goes on and on, but not ALL people who are parts of these lifestyles drink. It has been part of YOUR lifestyle, but now it's time to seek out some people who do things beyond partying.

Good luck! Keep that chin up!

When I lost my last 2 jobs I was so wrapped up in alcohol that it didnt even phase me. Most people find losing a job earth shattering. I was like "can I get my last check in cash? Ive got drinking to do"

I was a sick sick perosn though.

im guessing its cuz i was there for a long time and that they gave me so many chances that I find it so hard.. but for a few days there I really drank myself probably worse than I ever did.
