> Thanks for your advice, all. I will try to be calm and hope that I'll get better as the days transpire. I feel sad today, particularly because I don't have the concentration needed to perform my job well, and I am going to need it badly this week. I only hope my neurotransmitters equalize before my return to the office Monday. Fingers crossed.

Have you noticed a pattern? Have you noticed a binge might follow e.g. a contact with your boss? A client?
I'm just wondering, but this is the sort of thing that you need to figure out.
These binges don't just come out of nowhere, even if you feel like they do. They are triggered. You need to identify the triggers.
That first drink. How does it seem to get past your lips so easily? Why do you let it?
Tough questions. Very important questions.
