It’s crazy bc I literally just posted the same thing. Literally same here 
Are you going to continue bartending?
Or try and find a different job ?
It’s ok. We are here if you need help. I know it’s a tough situation but you’ll get through it. Stay positive. I’m here for you
I do need help… and honestly not sure what to do
Should I keep my job or should I just quit
I can’t believe I let things get like this again
I would quit
Not healthy environment for you
It’s ok
You have to stay mentally strong
I do have to stay strong…. But I feel so weak and ashamed
I am better then this
You’re not weak. Do t be ashamed. You are definitely better. You reached out and you have support now
You’re not alone
I’m going to try to continue but really try to stay sober. If I can’t then I’ll end up leaving. It’s hard not to drink when your in a party atmosphere or when your overwhelmed when the bar is crowded. But I literally made an ass out of myself at work & it’s embarrassing!
What makes me want to stay is the pay it’s fast money. What do you plan on doing?
Thank you for talking to me…. I really just feel terrible
I definitely need to leave my job but the thought of not having an income is scary but me getting drink at work is even scarier
Yes it is. Listen, you’ll figure things out. One day at a time
Honestly I dnt know at this point….. I told myself that if I couldn’t stop drinking I would leave
I was fine for about two weeks and then I started drinking again
I think it’s time for me to go but the thought of not having an income is not in a position I want to be in
When you drink do you limit yourself or do you drink nonstop?
Once I start I dnt stop ….
That’s exactly how I am! I don’t drink everyday but once I start I don’t stop & I black out most of the time & don’t even remember what I’ve done. It took me years to realize I was an alcoholic I never thought I was bc I didn’t drink everyday & need a bottle In the morning … A friend of mine who is a recovered alcoholic went to rehab & told me that uncontrollably drinking is an alcoholic you don’t have to drink everyday to be one. It sucks bc it’s like once we start we keep going you want another one and another one and that’s where we have a problem. I know it’s really tempting I’ve been fighting this battle for a while now but I would say definitely try not to drink because 1 will never be enough. As far as the not wanting to leave because of the income I completely understand! I’m in the same boat! Have you considered maybe going to a meeting or a program?
Honestly I didn’t consider myself an alcoholic either but everything your saying sounds to close to home
At this point I want to join a program i need the help especially if I’m going to stay at my job
