That’s a good start Andy. You just have to be really strong enough to fight it.
My son says after a binge , he’s totally wiped out, and sleeps for days and we don’t see him. That’s when he’s likely to skip work. Fortunately he’s working from home, so is coping a bit better.
The secret is to keep busy with daily meetings, eat healthy, exercise find a hobby you like, do daily meditation to calm your aggression. This also works for partners or relatives of addicts.
There’s help out there if you are seeking help. It’s supportive to be in company of others who are in recovery.
Make a plan for the weekend, as it’s the most difficult time. Stay away from people who may lead you astray. Keep busy thats the secret ????.
Keep in touch and stay strong.
