Help
 
I'm alone and bored at work again with nothing to do and God's plenty of alcohol just a hallway away. To distract myself, I already ate a giant sandwich, cookies, crackers, cheese and am on my 3rd diet coke and smoked all of my e-cig.

I know I don't want to go grab a beer. I want to leave work sober and run off the 3000 calories I just consumed! I don't want to drink. I don't want to drink. sober. sober. sober. :plzhelp:

Then stay sober....get out of self! Talk to someone - call a drunk or an addict. Pray, pray, pray!

Bored and alone is a dangerous place for me to be. Did you try going into the chat room here? Or get a good book to read online.

They let you drink at work? Wondering why beer is a hallway away.

good idea, get out of self. I'd love to chat but there's no java here.

Drink lots of water. Take it minute by minute if you have to. YOU CAN DO IT!

When the situation calls for it, Mirage, yes I can. Which is not a good work environment for me at all. We put together many social things, so alcohol is always on hand.

The trouble is I'm here alone here 50% of the time and I've started out many regretful evenings with a few at work. I've even taken the "perk" of being able to drink at work a little too far.

This helps. I'm happy I posted.

I am looking for new work btw.

Gotcha, I can understand the temptation. Every job I've ever had, drinking was forbidden at work, except rare occasions. Listen to the suggestions. Good luck
