Working
as an employee for any organisation can cause periods of stress
and uncertainty. Many individuals view their personal lives
as separate from the workplace. However, the Police having
recognised that alcohol stays in your system for many hours
are now more likely to breathalise people in the mornings
on their way to work. This not only results in theh loss of
a driving licence but for many may result in the loss of a
job.
Many individuals
use alcohol recreationally without difficulty. However, the
damaging effects to the body can go undetected for many years.
Other people may turn to drugs or alcohol for short periods
of time to overcome distressing episodes in their life, but
recover and return to normality and work as efficiently as
before. During difficult times most individuals are not aware
of how their company can be a source of support and fear that
disclosure of a problem would result in instant dismissal.
