I used to be a ready mix dispatcher and it drove me to drink. The job was brutal. I recently started my new job as a CSR at a different ready mix company. My boss has hinted that he wants me to dispatch in the future. Today we had a heart to heart where I explained i have a fear of dispatching bc I fear it might lead me to relapse. He continued to tell me war story after war story all filled with him drinking and having a great time. His point was that drinking on occasion isn't something I should fear. For the 1st time in a long time I doubted my sobriety. For a brief moment I thought "maybe someday ill control it." Thats when my new found knowledge kicked in and i reminded myself that I do not drink like normal people. And fact is I do not drink anymore. Needless to say my boss does not understand this disease. And as far as my fear of dispatching, I feel more equipt to handling life than I ever have. I am going to give it a try and just be mindful of how it makes me feel. I dont ever have to drink ever again. And that is my choice. No job. No person. Nothing can make me drink. I refuse to let drinking be and option for me.
Your will is inspiring. 
I love your honesty in this post! Stay in your lane and read yourself you will know what to do.
That's tough, I'm in military, have 1.5 year till retirement. It's a drinking culture. I hear it everyday. Makes me think I can go have couple with my battle buddies. I ponder it, but thankfully my memories show me the reason I should not participate. Stay you. Your doing great. Thanks for the good share and owning your drinking.
People who don’t respect boundaries in regards to your sobriety most likely know that they need help themselves but they are afraid to admit it.
Oh yes. He described his drinking to me and he flat out said "when I drink it drink to get drunk, so I started with shots." Which i am not stranger too. I know that's no longer my scene.
I think your thinking is good 
You are absolutely right Tawni!! It’s because of my sobriety that I have hope. Hope that life can throw all the haymakers it wants at me and I’ll still be standing. My sobriety gives me the strength and the tools to overcome those difficult times. Without my sobriety I don’t stand a chance!! You have inspired me today!!!!!
You’re so inspiring! Thank you for sharing !
Excellent share Tawni
