Me
Apart from my partner, my close family were surprised my alcoholism got to the stage where I was powerless over it [alcohol]. They wanted to know what was going on, but I handled that uniquely. You can read about that in the blog below 👇.
Work, I had my own businesses, so it was more advising colleagues and embracing the support of my incredible life and business partner.
Having many employees, 20+ years management experience, if 1 were to come out as an addict or alcoholic, what would I do? With vast experience dealing with equally important annoyances, but never addiction, I would do everything I possibly could to assist, through private healthcare, or, through my own funds. I have always been that type of leader. Hopefully, you will have a similar response.
