Well lads, quick update before bed. I promised myself I'd stay dry over the weekend and I did it! Well for Friday I did before going on the tear on Saturday. My life is literally too boring at the moment not to get drunk. Sunday was rough, was shaking till I got the hair of the dog.

Woke up this morning and felt rotten, had only postponed the hangover. The juice took the edge off though. Unfortunately I downed too much on an empty stomach and got a bit out of it around 11am. There was a comment made about me being away with the fairies or some ****, I just said I hadn't been sleeping well recently. I brought my naggin in with me to work which I think was a mistake as I felt paranoid carrying it around.

The boss left early but said he had something important to discuss with me tomorrow. Slightly nervous that my cover has been blown, but we shall see.

Might take a day or too off the booze just to clear my head.

Troll or re-reg. Maybe both.

Yeah dude, it's not good when you get the shakes. Put the naggin away like a good fella

OP, you will not be able to keep it up, "The Fear" will get ye, anxiety/panic attacks, serious **** street IMHO.

I would go down the jobs.ie route initially

Depends on your work, Fred. If it's a boring office job...work away. And good luck.

If you're a skyscraper window cleaner on the other hand...

beach_walker

It will certainly help him to see things much more clearly.

I went dry today, couldn't face vodka again in the morning. I think the cranberry juice is giving me bad heartburn so I may need to find a something softer to use as a mixer. Maybe milk? Although that might not go well together and I might look strange drinking milk in the office. Another option would to just water it down, no one would be any the wiser.

The chat with the boss was fine, he wants me to attend a conference next month, so that's a big piss up to look forward too. Nearly died with anxiety thinking that someone had reported me for drinking on the job, some of the ****s here would do that.

? why, it would be the best thing that could happen to you if they fire you, you are not happy there, life is too short fred, you should line up another job. in the meantime, maybe just drink at work two days a week.

Vodka and 7up ?, let the fizz go out of the 7up first, Aslo love the way you blame the cranberry juice, classic of never blaming the alcohol :pac: Sure if it wasent the bad curry it was the bad chips never ever the alcohol :) be careful mate.

That's not a bad idea, 7up or some other flat drink, thanks. I'd be concerned about the all the sugar though.

I love that sugar is a concern over the daily intake of alcohol
Switch to chasing the dragon, it's sugar free and you get to go on 'smoke breaks'.

For many reasons. One, the shame of being fired, two, this job pays well and there's no guarantee I'll find something if I go, three having to explain why I left the job.

No I think I'll stay where I am. I plan to stick it out for another 3 years or so, hopefully by then I'll have a nice little bit saved up. Will have more options then.
