I feel like I’m living a double life, one side of me is a professional office manager working for a dream company and the other side of me is a raging drunk who most often than not is a reason I have to phone in sick, which I have become a master of. When I drink, I drink until I black out and I never ever remember what I did, said, ate etc. Sometimes I won’t drink for days but then as soon as I’m feeling better again, I get back on the booze. I’ve wanted to stop for years but I have been struggling because my partner loves a drink. I am going to go dry for January to start my sobriety! It’s not going to be easy but I am willing to try anything to wake up without a hangover and depression…

A “double life” is a perfect way to explain it. I feel like most of us can relate to your story. It is very much like leading 2 lives. Congrats on your decision and cheers to 2017!

Yes, we can relate. I had certain people I drank to oblivion with and others that didn’t know I drank. I didn’t have to call in sick because I co-own my own business and would just make an excuse for why I wasn’t there or came late. Quite pathetic. And exhausting trying to juggle the secrets.
