I had a meeting today and I was sacked from work because of my behaviour at the xmas party.
Hi @Rickwills. Mate I’m sorry to hear that. As an English man myself not sure how legal sacking someone out of work is but the most important thing right now is you. Surround yourself with the right people. Stay strong and you could come out stronger. Drink will not help here. With you mate

Oh no. Stay strong. Hope you are okay. Stay away from the drink if you can. It won’t change the situation. Have you got some mates you can turn to for support?
This is my first post but your post resonated with me. I too was reprimanded at work and they are still deciding if I’m fired due to my behavior at my boyfriend’s Christmas party. . My boyfriend broke up with me, my daughter and I must move out right before Christmas…all because of alcohol. I got angry. Anyway im here to talk if you want.

Hi. Are you ok ?
Its a hard one as technically you are not at work. I dont think letting me go was altogether fair, considering its a charity to help people…I also worked many extra hours and saved allot of others projects.
Oh well, I still have foodin the cupboard, im.sober and I’m getting help with alcohol tomorrow

Sorry to hear about this unpleasant surprise…maybe it’s a blessing in disguise? Some things fall apart so better things can come together…its easy to turn to the bottle with something like this. One quote I remember from one of my favorite sober warriors, Mishka Shubaly, goes: drinking - It won’t make it better, it WILL make it worse. Keep your head up, this too shall pass!
