AA is flame but getting drunk at work is a big red flag.
So idk you're basically just fucked now.

AA seems like it works on proles who need a rigid mindset about things.
OP should just avoid drinking during work hours, then avoid during the week and go from there.
If it's not bringing joy to his life, then cut it. No need to go full Nazi though.

It is amazing to me that just mere months ago, both of you weren't on the bort anymore.
Yet fast forward and here you guys are, up to your old tricks.
This isn't a judgment on either of you, just one reason I really like it here.

Do you think we should lay off this guy?
Part of me thinks this is flame to make us lay off.
But I think calling him out on his drinking problem would be pretty mean.
Just my 2c.

You need help. Not sure if AA is the answer, but regardless, you need help, and there is no shame in it whatsoever. I would consider seeing a psychiatrist or therapist of some kind and discussing it openly and looking at your options. Again, nothing wrong with doing that either.
Drinking at work is a pretty obvious sign that you need help and are not in control. You can conquer this with the right help, though.

if you drink heavy every day you should get detox meds.
I'm not saying 3 months is a long enough to get DTs but you don't want to find out. detoxing dry can be a mistake you can't correct.

i speak from experience friend.
when it got bad, i would (have to) drink mid-day in law. it honestly made me 10x better.
people don't understand that when you reach a certain point, it's medicinal. though also, it relieves the crushing anxiety some of us are naturally born with and honestly is a performance enhancer.
i don't want to out self, but i've also given some extraordinarily high level presentations where i drank beforehand and got commended as them being some of the best a really, really high level audience had seen.
it gets you in the end.
with me, it was someone seeing me drink a beer at lunch. they reported it to HR, who went apeshit and started going after me.

problem is, some asshole is going to use it against you.
men in court, i'm quite sure, knew i drank. they didn't make a big deal of it, because i did my job well.
women reported it.

a black woman lawyer trying to get ahead. it worked. she got promoted. i got grilled endlessly until i knew they were going to fire me, so i resigned so i wouldn't have to tell future employers i got fired.
btw, i was a good lawyer. hated it. but believe it or not, i was good. no one would say otherwise. i was well liked by almost every lawyer i dealt with.
EDIT: to be fair, a white woman lawyer reported to the court she smelled booze on my breath once one morning. sure she did from the night before. but that set off the end for me. the black woman lawyer then reported the beer at lunch and i was done. i think you have to be pretty low to not talk to the person first before you snitch on that shit.

it's badddddd. I don't put much into the Myers Briggs thing, but has there ever been a woman who is a P? They are all judgmental as fuck, and just looking for reasons to fuck people over for not strictly following some rule in their minds. Everything is an affront.
Work performance means fuck all.
I actually think that's what it's about. They want rule following to supplant work performance.

I did it and it got me to stop drinking.
You should only really go if you have a strong desire to stop drinking.

for me, i had to go to this horrible lawyers' AA group at first. which i guess for some people works. for me, it made me want to drink way more. it was horribly depressing. they were all older. holding hands and chanting out of a book. they had killed people in DUIs. i couldn't take it. it's like telling someone they have to join a religious cult.
and they were looking for ways to fire me in the meantime, regardless. it was one of many bad times in my recent years.
for me, i need to get away from the shaming and people giving me shit about drinking. they don't get that. they think talking about it makes it better. actually, talking about it makes them feel better, and they don't care that it is a huge trigger for me. i'm really sensitive to external emotions. probably 100th percentile. most people have no idea.

So I recently had to quit a job that was in the other career I had that was somewhat related to law, but not law. A friend said she'd get my resume to the opposite office of the government law I once did. But I know the HR woman from my prior gov job would shut it down, because I know she stopped me from getting a good job already. Which is why I stopped putting it on my resume.
FTGE.
So, basically, my advice to all, is be a Puritan in a lib culture.

i've had some really bad experiences. the gov't one was fine, except for what i talked about. the latest one, they couldn't blame on me one cent. that was all GC wringing you to fucking death. i did NOTHING wrong. i've read no one lasts more than 6 months. and two people quit in their first week, just from my small team, not flame. it's death. pure hell. i had nothing to do with quitting the most recent job other than the job being untenable. i'd been sober here for a long time. the job killed me and when i couldn't take it anymore i quit & went back.
i'll take responsibility for the other one, despite i don't think the issue then was handled well whatsoever.

I've had some bad ones -- and, to me, that's on them. They want pure GC slaves. And I refuse.
But your greater point is still valid. I do have latent anger and disappointment. Mostly that people (family & friends) expect me to go through these horrible jobs just for status, not knowing anything about what they entail or ever having had to do them personally.
That bothers me. Their disapproving glances when I quit -- like something's wrong; you should do better -- when they don't know the reality.
And that hurts.
They think I'm a genius. I'm dumber than a Seattle Supermarket clerk.
Really, though, it's just not the field for me. I need to have creativity and freedom. I don't care about money. I come from a very creative, funny family. Staring at computer screens for 11 hours a day is suicidal.

Take it from a guy who has lived it:
You need to start tapering down your drinking and may need to go to AA - at least once to see what it is like so you have a reference point going forward about if you truly have a problem with drinking.
For me it went --> Drinking that ramped up in High School then into College it started to spiral out of control then got totally out of control because of burn-out and depression that turned into full blown alcoholism after I graduated.
THEN I put my life at risk being a fucking retard and only THEN I finally got my wake up call to get sober.
First I cut the hard stuff out. Hard booze is the enemy to alcoholics for a variety of reasons. Most "functioning" alcoholics I know are either late stage into Vodka OR they are beer/wine and have some semblance of functionality.
Your brain goes through a series of bargaining patterns with the addiction, so one of the "hacks" to get sober or at least get out of the hole is that I gave myself permission to keep drinking and said I was gonna stop drinking hard booze and switched to wine and beer.
Then I gradually tapered down from 2 bottles of wine or so a day, to one. Then to a six pack of beer, then to only like three or so a day and then went cold turkey.
From there I relapsed a few more times after between one month and three months of sobriety each try but it was worth it - a lot of people need a relapse to get sober in order to answer their "question" with booze.
Now I'm coming up on my third year sober and don't regret it.

It makes sense for a lot of reasons and has been done for centuries if not millennia.
If your not seeking medical advice to detox (which you should absolutely 100% do if you are drinking super hard), a gradual taper down is the safest way to do it.
It took me a few weeks to "taper" my drinking into "normal alcoholism" levels, which I stayed at for a month or so until I decided it was time to keep tapering down. I did this as an emergency provision to really get me out of my worst hole/worst binge. My life was so fucking dark at that point that I probably was drinking 14-20 drinks a day at my lowest point, every day, for a couple of months or so. Just total misery. If I went cold turkey I would have been really really screwed.
On the flip side, it also psychologically gives you the slightest bit of control back and that allows you to build a position of strength against the disease going forward as you keep tapering and eventually go cold Turkey.
If you do a taper well and have the control, you can probably be ready to give cold turkey a shot after like two or three months of gradual consumption reduction.
Remember though - you are not just "Switching to Beer" - because the alcoholic brain is going to want you to hit your regular intake level - so it could be 12 beers instead of having four or six shots or whatever which is still a problem. T
he major advantage in this situation is you are using progressively weaker types of alcohol to reduce the average chemical saturation in the brain and re-calibrating the alcoholic brain to lower "normal" levels of booze - eventually to the point where you stand a chance at giving sobriety a shot

They want me to do some intensive outpatient shit that will involve detox and some drug that makes you puke if you drink. I told them I couldn’t commit to something like that while I got end of quarter shit at work to deal with, so they said at least stop drinking liquor

The stuff about switching to beer is something I’ve heard from a lot of people, including my doc.
