Hi japanlife,
For my whole life (as in definitely after 20 yo in jp; aaaand in expat international school environment after like 13 yo) I've been struggling with alcohol addiction.
I could power through juken, shuukatsu etc. but there is NOTHING to live for after getting my job at big JTC and I find myself drinking myself to oblivion every night. There are so many things I want to do but my judgement and energy is awfully impaired.
So, I want to admit myself to alcoholic inpatient.
IMO there is no way I can improve my life without inpatient.
Regarding social stability, during my last uni years I denied every single invitation from my friends in the fear I wouldn't be able to drink enough to feel comfortable. Meaning I have no social network. Like talk to 0 people outside of work.
Regarding general health the last 3 years I've tried to go sleep without alcohol maybe 5 times??? and hideously failed. Obviously hungover AF in the morning and have had a panic attack on the train a few times.
has anyone successfully 休職 then 復職 for alcoholism??? as a 正社員？
マジで納税して死ぬだけの人生を生きたくない。。
