I understand, trust me I do. What I'm finding is that it's the disease that tells me I'm ok. And if I keep listening to it, I won't get better. I'll wind up right where I started.
It's great that you didn't drink today, way to go!
As for your co-worker, it's no one's business. It's very normal to worry about how it appears to people. What I'm also finding thanks to this program is that it doesn't matter what others think about whether or not I have a problem. If YOU think you do, then that's what you need to act on. For all you know, he may have a problem!
You don't have to be brave to go to a meeting. The first meeting I went to I broke down and cried. You just have to want it. I won't force you, I don't want to sound like I'm preaching to you because I definitely don't mean to do that. I just know that without the meetings I wouldn't be where I am right now.
Have you read any of the Big Book? If not, try http://www.aa.org/bigbookonline/en_tableofcnt.cfm. I would suggest reading "The Doctor's Opinion" first. That's what I was told to do.
Speak to you soon...
