Advice for tonight? Is it to soon?

[DoubleInTrouble]

I work as a waitress and I need to go to work do u think it is to soon(4 days clean, alcohol and norco) for me to go to work,

IBKleen is right, and sounds like she has some solid sobriety.  If not going to work means that you'll not make your rent, then you need to decide.  I really hope that's not the case, and that you stay home for the next few days.  YOU are the most important person in your life, and it's NOT a selfish thing.  Stay safe, and if you have a sober friend, give them a call.  If not, call your local AA office.  
You're doing really well, and don't want to have to withdrawal again.

I took your advice and not going tonight;) I totally understand what u mean by us setting ourselves up knowing we are vulnerable , makes 100% of sense , thanks for being here for me

[IBKleen]

Yes honey it does. We set ourselves up for relapse. Wanting to go  job where you are vulnerable is setting yourself up. i surely hope you are safe tonight.

[DoubleInTrouble]

What does that mean? That relapse happen mentally and spiritually before we use ?

[IBKleen]

I understand about the money but it i not a safe place for someone 4 day sober. Honey I can only share my experience and i could not do it. You are going to do what you think i best. I think you are on shaky ground and I think you are setting yourself up for a relapse.A relapse happens mentally and spiritually before you actually pick up the drink or the drug. It sounds like you are right there.  I wish you the best whatever you decide.

I use to be able to work sober there and do very well. Do u think I will never be able to work there again or just until I get strong enough? I really don't want to lose out on the money.

[DoubleInTrouble]

Yes Iam a little shakey , I have more anxiety then anything, my mind is still a bit foggy as well. Ppl will probably see a difference in me.

Remember: You need to change PEOPLE, PLACES and THINGS when you get clean. So being around the people you used with and the place you used and the thing you used is triple trouble. Time ti find a new job.

You have been given real advice...not a good idea.  I wish you the very best and congrats on your clean time!  Take some time to take care of u!

[DoubleInTrouble]

Yes I did, I use to never party there even a few months ago when I was drinking every where other then there , but my drinking just kept progressing

[sprich3]

IBKleen made a very good point.  I  worked in the restaurant industry from the time I was 16 (and it was basically a high-end bar) until I was 24 years-old, and it was a huge party scene.  
If your workplace has the same culture of use as mine did, then stay home.  I'm assuming that you may be pretty shaky right now, and you don't want anyone to think that you're on an upper like cocaine, meth, etc.
Do what I was told to do, and REST and take care of yourself.  It's early days yet.

[IBKleen]

Just my opinion but it's not a good idea. Did you party there during your active addiction?

[DoubleInTrouble]

Yes

[IBKleen]

Is there alcohol where you work?
