I’ve done 60 days before. I’m a high-functioning alcoholic. I want to quit so bad. Lost my mom Aug 2021. I need to change. I’m slowly killing myself. I feel like I need a treatment center. I can’t loose my new job, just got promoted.
Heather, I applaud your ability to see what alcohol is doing...and none of it is good. It just doesn't work to white knuckle quitting. It isn't about will power. I'm going to suggest you check out Annie Grace's 30 day experiment. Do the daily work. You're a smart woman. Learn all you can in those 30 days...do the work of the 30 days (it is FREE). At the end of the 30 days, if you're still struggling, maybe seek out treatment. But I'm telling you, you've got this. And congrats on your promotion!!!
I’ve read her book. Maybe I need to read again. Thank you. I have to do this. My mom would be so mad at me.
Employers appreciate an employee who admits they have a problem and seeks help more than one who hides their alcoholism and becomes a problem. My work was super supportive, when I said I needed to go to rehab. The work was waiting for me when I got back.
And sober me started crushing it there. If nothing else, get to AA. Pour yourself into it. That will pay big dividends.
Aa meetings every day.will help. Aa. org meeting & zoom
