Day 52
 
Went back to work this week and held my head high and just tried to get back to routine.

I just watched the OA on Netflix all the way through. My attention span was shot in the very early days and my anxiety prevented me from relaxing and focusing on anything - so I guess its progress that I could sit and watch the how first season.

Work is weird. And unfortunately not very challenging. But at least I have a job and did lose it - although this is my last chance. The "scare" factor is an excellent motivator to stay sober.

I'm glad things went better at work that you were fearing Water :)

Water- perhaps work not being challenging is just the ticket. Perhaps you can work on you- all that messing in the brain thinking (if you are anything like me).
For me- that messed up thinking was why I drank in the first place.
Prayers to you, PJ.

The last day I drank was 10/24/16 and I haven't been to work since 10/26/16.

I go back 2/6/17. I have been on a 3 month leave for depression and anxiety.

I have been at my current job for over 8 years and was hungover everyday of it. I do not look forward to going back because the job was a big stressor and trigger for me - but I need the money.
