When Addiction Affects Your Job

I tell a raw story about how drinking derails my first gig with a mobile DJ company and costs me the job before it even starts. I break down the excuses, the anxiety, and the shame that show up when alcohol runs the schedule, then I ask you to share your own work fallout. • Alcohol and addiction affecting jobs, relationships, and daily life • Leaving club DJ to escape the party environment • A first mobile DJ gig at a university pub event • One drink turning into a night of heavy drinking • Waking up hungover and using the flu excuse • Boss trying to help by setting up equipment • Hair of the dog leading back to drunkenness • Ignoring calls and the boss showing up at the door • Losing the job and naming it as a consequence of addiction Leave a comment.We can choose to give in to the KAOS, or we can forge a new path forward!
