I remember a few years back going to an earlier opener pub, knocking down a few beers, & then turning up to work. Got caught, of course, & I still have no idea how I didn't get fired.
As if that wasn't enough, even though I knew I had a drinking problem, I'd know for years, of course, I didn't learn the lesson. I just waited to get the inevitable warning from the boss, & for the "heat" to blow over, & I kept drinking.
As was said earlier, what's happened has happened, & you'll probably have to face the music for that, but it's super-important that you get something in place in terms of where you're headed.
Best wishes AR, hope it sorts itself out quickly & as painlessly as possible.

I’m so sorry you’re deep in the **** right now. I’m not yet to 30 days but I can share that my withdrawal was horrible. I had just come off a huge bender and was paranoid, anxious AF, crying constantly, couldn’t leave the house, catastrophizing etc. I ruined some really important relationships and made potentially long-ranging life choices while on the aforementioned bender and still feel bad about it (and have an anxiety disorder or two anyway) but someone here told me that since I can’t undo it, I can at least use it to catapult myself into recovery and for whatever reason that felt really helpful to me.
It really, really sucks. And I’m sorry again. I just hate to hear folks’ narratives when they center themselves as a awful pieces of **** because it is very rarely true. If you can, give yourself some grace because you deserve it.
