I’m very open about it. I’ve got 12 years and have about 30 people in my office. Every one in the office know I don’t drink and they know why. I make jokes about how they don’t want to know what I’m like if I drank. I was also open with a client recently and learned he was also sober. It was an instant bonding moment. I love that. I also feel like if people know they know they can come to me if they need help. There is no stigma and it’s almost like a badge of pride for me.
Very awesome, congrats! 🎉
I’m pretty open about it if it comes up. I feel very strongly that a big part of breaking down the stigma of addiction is to normalize recovery and sobriety. That said, I completely understand why many people choose not to talk about it openly, and of course I respect that.
Congrats!!!! That’s incredible. I’m pretty open about my sobriety. Especially in work situations where drinking is involved and they push the reasoning behind me not drinking
Definitely open about not drinking, but often dance around the reason. Congratulations! For me, the good days are more dangerous, I get my ego back quickly. Bad days, I know I need a meeting. Not saying this is true for anyone else, just sharing. Thanks for sharing your birthday with us!
congratulations!!!! there is no greater miracle than an alcoholic that doesn't drink
I keep it quiet. I admit I have a stopping problem but never utter "I am an alcoholic". I imagine saying that would be freeing though.
I’ve become a lot more quiet about it at my new job. But yes I’m super happy. Even when it’s hard. Even when I feel like shit. It’s way better than being 10k in debt and your ex calling you to tell you that you have a problem as you buy a six pack and tell him you’re not ready to stop
Congrats! That’s awesome! I’ve not very anonymous at all. But hey, that’s what works best for me
Congrats! I keep things quiet but sometimes I worry it’s a reservation. Like I don’t want anyone to say anything should I drink again. But I’m a pretty private person in all areas at work.
