Being a sober bartender... advice?

New to soberhood and seeking some advice but can’t quit my job as a bartender… yay!

So spot on. It’s exhausting, but it’s the only area in customer service where you have complete control and can just say Fuck off as you said. That’s why I prefer it so much more to serving. But separating myself from my work is great advice and I think I’ll stop there. I’m here because drinking leads me to worse habits not really because I had an issue with alcohol. But I realized I can’t kick the other habit when I drink and lose all inhibition so I need to cut back the drinking as well. I can still have control behind the bar as long as I have control of myself first. Thanks for the advice! You’re awesome for turning your work around the way you did to suit you in a healthier way and still enjoy what you’re doing.
