A few months ago, there were 4 of us sober ppl at my job. Now there is one (me). The final sober person cracked tn at our coworker's going away party. Everyone hyped him up to drink, and he started, and did not stop. I tried to stop it, but I failed.

There’s millions of sober ppl all around, and one thing I like to take into account is I can’t make or stop anyone else from drinking. It’s a solo journey but we walk it together anon, I wish you a steady sober 24 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Genuinely heartbroken Especially bc my sober role model has actually been secretly drinking for months And she ain't keeping it a secret anymore 🥲 I felt so comfy in my sobriety bc there were multiple of us. Even when there was 2, hey, there were 2! Now I'm like damn....

I'm still under a year, so I'm still learning. I made the mistake of tying my own sobriety to these ppl, which is 100% on me. I'm also a bartender, so it's really rough. All my coworkers are active addicts, so that one or two other ppl in the sober boat was really really helpful. Without any sober support at work it's not gonna be 'easy' anymore. I'd quit but like, I unfortunately need money. I'm trying to earn my masters degree rn so I can get tf out.

I’ll never tell someone to quit their job to stay sober because money is money so I get that. Do you go to meetings ever ? Or are you just getting sober personally? I don’t think you’re wrong for tying ur sobriety to those people especially in your first year, you’re still figuring out just how to survive . I’ve learned over the years nothing man made can keep me sober , and only concepts greater than myself (and those man made constructs ) are what I can rely on.
