Plot 09-26-2018 04:51 AM

Got breath-tested at work, blew over
 
...got sent home.
Now Ive got to write an email to beg for my job back.

Amen 09-26-2018 05:02 AM

Or just say you have a drinking problem and need help - at this point it becomes a Human Resource issue, and puts the employer's back against the wall.

Plot 09-26-2018 05:13 AM

Yeah I thought about that.
Thing is I do have a drinking problem, as evident here- drinking is causing my life problems. But I dont wanna do rehab or AA or any of that shit.. I can work it out myself.
But yeah I gotta stop day drinking before going in, it just such a shit bunch of retards, they drive me to drink.

Geno 09-26-2018 05:26 AM

Uh ...ya. U need AA. Dont be a retard retard. Its not ok to lose ur job by blowing over. If u need to be drunk at work. You have mental problems. Get help. U obviously cant deal with it urself. U wouldnt be here to begin with if ur dealing skills were sharp. No. U deal by getting drunk. So what.. To deal with getting drunk ur gonna do whar? Ur gonna go to AA. Simple

Amen 09-26-2018 05:27 AM

If anything or anyone drives you to drink then your weak minded.

Me personally - do not allow anyone to "drive me" to do anything because I don't take shit personal. Especially at work. What happens at work, stays at work. Unless something funny happened then it's the evening dinner time discussion for shits and giggles with the family.

Let it go. Don't bring work life/experiences home with you, bro.

Just some advice.

uh-oh 09-26-2018 05:41 AM

im of the mindset that no one needs AA. you know what you need to do

as someone who works with people who come in drunk, stoned, on perc's, etc. just know everyone already knew anyways.

you got two options. dwell in your embarrasment and continue to spiral into misery. or grab your balls man up and move on. view drinking as the reward for being around people you despise sober, and not as the mechanism for coping with them

godspeed

Plot 09-26-2018 05:47 AM

Yeah well AAs just an entry to religion.
I drink coz I love it, beer is awesome.
But yeah, I need to pay rent.. but Im getting a new job as soon as this blows over.
(pun intended)

Chill Phil 09-26-2018 07:04 AM

Anyways...listen to uh-oh

Word...holy.fuck uh oh is that dude....I like how you think ***

Destroyer 09-26-2018 08:17 AM

I don’t really subscribe to AA because of the religion that is intertwined in the program
But bro, you are like saying stereotypical shit that alcoholics say when they are in denial
Some type of regiment may help you as such

~RustyGunZ~ 09-26-2018 08:41 AM

Yeah you need AA

Ghost1 09-26-2018 08:53 AM

well theres a reason AA is the most successful sobriety program and that nearly all drug rehabilitation programs are offered by the church but wtf do I know


nah but on a serious note aside from the daily religious war here lol.......uhm plot ur clearly an alcoholic ........ not even sure what the question is itt? uh oh still thinks every person in the world has the same brain that he does...........rehabilitation programs factually help users recover quicker and stay sober longer as opposed to uhm doing NOTHING like uh oh suggested. JUST TELL URSELF TO STOP fucking legit retard.


tldr- find a rehab program before u damage ur life further

Victor. 09-26-2018 09:04 AM

Clear indication rehab isn't an option and he isn't ready to sober up yet.

@veritas - this is your specialty, my man. Help this guy out.

PancakeBrah 09-26-2018 10:28 AM

Sobriety should be determined by the free market and free market only imo.

Ghost1 09-26-2018 10:30 AM

John Dillinger 09-26-2018 11:26 AM

Have they been suspecting you or something?

Seems weird they would just have a breathalyzer on site

Amen 09-26-2018 11:33 AM

Most company's have one.

It's a EHS/human resource issue, tho. Like I'm the EHS director and i'm usually notified when a supervisor or manager suspects someone of being under the influence.

I typically have to investigate it and the HR Director and I interview that employee.

Based off that interview determines then next course of action.

If we both agree that individual is under the influence of alcohol - a BAC test is then taken on site. If we believe the individual is under the influence of a narcotic and/or THC - then the individual is sent to the clinic for drug screening while supervised.

He’s 10 cans in on a Tuesday. I think they had an idea.

@Plot you don’t have keep up with religious thing after your done with AA. But if you reay want to stop. Give it a chance man. This is the first step in ruining your life. Lose your job, next is living in the streets.

Don’t let your prejudice and pride kill you broski.

NO BUT YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE

FLIP IT ON EM

~RustyGunZ~ 09-26-2018 11:52 AM

please don't listen to uh oh, plot. you need serious help. you can't help yourself or you would have by now. stop being a stupid faggot and join AA. if you have such a strong mind like you claim could make you quit if you wanted, than it's a strong enough mind to follow the steps and not have to find jesus.

uh-oh 09-26-2018 11:54 AM

they obviously dont deal with addiction issues

Rule 1. You wont quit unless you want to. FACTS.

You dont want to. AA isnt going to make you want to.

We are all wasting our time and energy here on this one.

Inno 09-26-2018 12:15 PM

This isn’t healthy for plot.

Stop discouraging him becuase of your own bias.

Never give up on anyone still breathing, that’s stupid to assume he’s a lost caused, come on guys

Amen 09-26-2018 12:48 PM

Plot will meet the same fate exis did.

Ok so AA is great because of the support system. Because it gives you someone you can call, or meet, or whatever when you feel like you're about to fall off the wagon, and that person is someone who has felt what you feel, instead of just someone in your family, or a friend or whatever who will offer reassurance but really do not understand what you're going through or how to talk to you.

That support can be life saving.

veritas 09-26-2018 01:49 PM

AA works. You have to want it.


IT works if you work it.


/thread

dull boy 09-26-2018 01:54 PM

Al-anon is okay from my experience, but any help, religiously affiliated or not, is help.
If you want to stop drinking, or want to talk about why you drink (other than beer being awesome) then you should try one of these places out. It's good to anonymously get some thoughts out and into the air.

Hit me up if you ever wanna shoot the shit about addiction.
