Mine is just about my experience with someone in my office who had a alchol problem and I also had input from a recovering alcholic that I am acquainted with who was willing to share her thoughts. <br /><br />http://secretaryhelpline.blogspot.com/2009/10/when-you-suspect-co-worker-has.html <br /><br />I'm sure all of us have had experiences with co-workers who have substance abuse problems, but I think it is correct that we do enable and probably think we are being helpful and are protecting them by making excuses for them or helping them with a timeline or filling in for them when you see they are out of commission.<br /><br />Coming from a home with an alcholic father, I know that what we think of as helping only makes the problem go in the closet and is never dealt with.<br /><br />I currently work for a not-for-profit organization in Canada that researches substance abuse issues, so thanks for writing about this.<br /><br />PatriciaPatricia Robbhttp://secretaryhelpline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
