Do you have a desire to stop?
Do you have support, sometimes willpower alone isn't enough.
If your job is on the line, the next step you take is important, and showing up to get help can actually protect you in ways you might not expect. Meetings, online meetings. LOOSID app has partnered with BetterHelp right here in the app.
Idkiyk: there's federal laws that can actually protect your job if you go to treatment. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) gives eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave, and substance use disorder treatment qualifies as a serious health condition. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) also protects employees who are actively seeking treatment from discrimination. The key is that the protection kicks in when you’re seeking treatment, not just missing work because of using. Depending on your state, there may be additional protections too. Find out what your state outlines and maybe treatment is the option. We're here for you, keep asking question because we learn from each other. Rooting for you

I could not quit drinking on my own. I got the help I needed in the rooms of AA. I struggled and relapsed too many times and even when I was trying to keep sober in AA. But the sober community always made me feel welcome and got me through it.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions
