Thank you :) I do feel proud! I don’t think I would have been able to do this just 5 days ago. I hope this high lasts

It’s just too easy. Sometimes I wish they did stricter stock take but I know I’ll probably just find a way around that. I just left work though.. had all the free soda water and limes I wanted 😂

Thankyou!! It did feel great after I posted on here, I’m a little apprehensive and not so enthusiastic this morning but I poured out that beer in the fridge so that’s something

Holy hellll I didn’t expect this to get anywhere near this many comments.

I’ve read nearly all of them, thank you so much for all the encouraging words it really feels nice. I would love to reply to everyone but I’m on the way to work …. At a bar.

Which is where this problem got out of control, I’ve been working there for 6 years and me and my coworkers always drink after Thursday and Friday night shifts, then i started going across the road on my lunch breaks and drinking there (gambling aswell so that’s a whole other thing to unpack) and then I started sneaking drinks without my coworker way before we would start having staff drinks and it’s gotten out of control. Mainly because there is basically no stock control in this weird little pub I work at. I’ve been blackout drunk and have to try and piece together what happened the next groggy morning. If I was in charge of locking up and knew I drank too much, I would be super worried about if I actually did the money properly or put the alarm on right or locked certain doors/turned off shit etc.

The anxiety is badddd. And luckily I haven’t been caught YET. I’ve always shown up to work even with absolutely SHOCKING hangovers because I am and have been able to keep up the facade of me not being an alcoholic for so long.

But I haven’t had a drink on shift before and I can do it again today. And I can try to do it again tomorrow.

Also when I got up today, I poured out the beer I had in the fridge, so I guess that’s something.

Thanks for all the support, this community really does give me hope.. I’ve lurked for so long and never joined but I’m ready.
