There’s a 99% chance I’m going to lose the best job that has ever happened to me on Tuesday. This will be the third job loss in about a year due to me drinking on the job. I cannot let this keep happening and my anxiety is out of control. I am so embarrassed and it’s such a small town that I don’t want to show my face or will have many other options for work. I could just really use some support and positivity until I go on and face my employer Tuesday afternoon

Is it 100% certain you will lose your job? If not think positive and let’s get sober

This is rough, I’m sorry you’re going through it. Hopefully Tuesday has a positive outcome!
I agree with Luis. Get sober now and get ready to grovel but positively. Just make a very serious effort to make sure it doesn't happen again. I think your clock might be off.
2 years you’ve been here. Looked at your posts. No mention of reaching out in your community for help. A BF who uses? Not gonna get better if you don’t put in the foot work to recover. Using has its consequences. Just hope it doesn’t kill you before you can figure recovery out. Hope you get plugged in. Either in or out. No in-betweens for addicts.

I never really lost anything, I traded it for drinking. I could not manage my life because drinking was my priority.
Getting sober had to become my priority. When I am focused on staying sober and on my recovery everything else falls into place.

Hi Sara, I was scared of losing the best job that have had. I went to detox but didn’t go to rehab because I thought couldn’t be gone that long from my life. Rehab is exactly what I needed. I lost that job 8 months later but I realized I was on a different journey in life. A sober one. It is very much worth the struggle I went through. Once you take step towards sobriety just keep moving forward. Even on the bad days. I love the job I have now. I almost lost it during the depression of my wife leaving. Honesty is what saved my job. Despite only being there for 4 months, people stood up for me but in the end I had to choose to be better to get to a better place.
Just keep going to meetings and let go and let God. If you do there is something better for you regardless of what happens Tuesday. We love you until you can love yourself in AA🤟
