Alcohol

Did you quit on your own or did you get help with quitting?

In house. A wife and three young boys that needed the best me possible.

He could never blow a .8, because long before he got that deep he would be dead.

It's .08

Not my numbers....his.

Originally off the clock too....

I have seen a .6 on Cops.....

If you indulge @Integrity with an answer, he will just ask you another question.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

You came to work in a possibly impaired state with the full intent of getting behind that wheel.

Just curious----was a manager the first to see you that morning or did a co-worker see you first and alert your mgt team to your possible impairment? Either way, it sounds as though a potential tragedy may have been averted.

I sincerely hope that you seek the help that you so clearly need.

Lost Mom last year July22nd, anniversary of her death is coming up and then Mother’s Day is right around the corner. I would never drink on the job so I was surprised, wasn’t even clocked in let alone behind the wheel

Not clocked in yet or behind the wheel but you were on company property reporting to work. And dude, pointing out the obvious…..if you were just under the legal limit 8-9 hours after your last drink, you must’ve been blasted out of your mind drunk the night before (on a work night). Smarten up, get some help and don’t do it again.

Right to the point: so a supervisor smelled alcohol on me before I didn’t even began to start my route( let alone start the truck) so 2 Union stewards who went through re hab for years who are keen to smelling alcohol, they didn’t smell anything. So I went to get tested and my B.A.C was barley at the state limit. So I get discharged at the same time they mean terminated. Mind you I had a drink 9 hours before I went to work. The nurse said I wouldn’t notice I was impaired despite not showing signs of it. So I’m screwed aren’t I?

Had a few too many Bud lights?

I wasn’t drunk. This is literally what the doctor said. And definitely won’t be doing that again

I’m not going to argue semantics. You didn’t blow a .00 hence you were under the influence when reporting for work.

Zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol.

A supervisor claimed said he smelled it. And Union rehab drivers said they smelled nothing and I already explained what the doctor said. I’m already going under conditions. Which I also explained already. 1 night of drinking doesn’t mean you need help dog. I’ve only done it for 4 months on weekends.

Are you serious, cops??

So, what are we talking about here?

Clocking in doesn't mean beans until start time.

Now, being on company property means a lot of things. So does "unprofessional conduct".........Anything before start time doesn't just go. Lot's of folks have been fired for lot's of things on and off of property.

Theoretically, you could smell like weed and alcohol and have done(consumed) neither.

Reporting for work......ok. So?

It’s how my Dad got his together, but with me. Good on you brother.

Be thankful, man, and just be careful. Don’t let this setback bring you down.

Awesome.

I know of several who quit without any treatment or programs of any kind.

I wasn’t so lucky but that is great.
