I had gone 2 years sober on September 23rd, on September 28th i got drunk. Now i am facing a disciplinary at work because i got drunk at work i then walked out of work and went to the pub where i fell down the steps and broke my ankle. I cant believe how weak i was, i stopped going to meetings because i thought i could go it alone my god how i wish i hadnt. My disciplinary is on Monday, i think i will lose my job. The moral of my tale is keep going to the meetings they work.

for my experience meeting makers make it& apply the steps to the best of there ability on a daily basis. be thankful it was 1 night instead of months or years. you identified the problem so get back to your meetings. (just a suggestion)

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF

Well you're right, I'm guessing you probably will be fired. It's not a matter of weakness, it's what we do.
gim is right, this was probably a blessing in disguise. You could have masked it for months or years and gotten to the point of no return. You could use this as your wake up call to start again.
Best wishes to you, whatever happens.

Should you really be fired I do not know, a one night binge does not mean instant dismisal.

Employers these days are suppoused to offer support to a person with drink problems, but of course not all will, much depends I expect on what else happened on that day.

But that aside, yes I think many of us do learn the hard way that we cannot sop going to meetings, that we do need continued support, we become over confidant, and the Bingo trouble, I learnt it, and it is making me very strong this time round.

I do hope you do not lose your job, that some sense can be seen and you manage a satisfactory resolve

My thoughts and prayers are with you

I do hope you are going back to your meetings. And I agree with patty and gim.

This is a new day. Time to dust ourselves off and work the steps, go to meetings and call your sponsor.

You are in my prayers.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
