I really really like my job and it would be totally awesome if I could have it when I got out of rehab in two months. Any sugggestion? I have internet access in there once a day for 2 hours the first two weeks and for the next 6 weeks im allowed my laptop so I can use it during free time hours of 3pm until 10 pm.. Should I volunteer to do research or other assignments online for free while Im in there?
My boss and I get along great and he is a really nice guy, he has a drinking problem himself so I guess he can kind of relate to me.
Any tips or advie would be greatly appreciated.
thank-you for your time

fully explain your situation to him. :)

i think thats good advice. if you've been functioning well enough that he keeps you employed, he should look forward to your improved performance once you clean out.
good luck to you, and keep committed to your decision.

Shit....I thought you meant rehab for like a hurt shoulder or something.... :-\
-
If you're a good employee, and you both get on, then I'm sure if you just explain the situation openly, and ask for his help when you get out, then he'll be OK with you.
Just don't say "When I get out, we can catch up over a beer"! :-X
Only joking mate, good luck.

Admit that you're a degenerate piece of shit and beg for mercy

Say this.
Also ask him what you can do to help make it happen. Don't start volunteering to work for free imo tho. You never know, he might offer you 1/2 pay to do research while in there.

thanks alot for the replies guys, I thi

ask for a leave of absence and explain why. he can say either yes or no. good luck.

Make a list of all the dirt you have on him. All the shady shit - drinking at work, cheating on wife, all that.
Write it on a piece of paper, and put it in your pocket.
Walk in, tell him you need time off, with a smile, and ask if that will be a problem.
If he say yes, smile, put the note on the desk, and walk out.
He will chase you down in the hallway begging you to come back after your break.

put it in writing. it's professional.

You're at his mercy.
Does he already know you're an alcoholic? If not, why bring it up? Even more of a reason to fire you.

tell him the truth. lies get you no where.

not lie, just tell him you need some personal time.

I would think that your boss would look upon this type of situation in a positive manner, especially since you are trying to better yourself which in turn will also benefit your job performance. If this does not work and you get fired, make 100% sure that you have no chance of getting your job back. Then when the time is at it's best sneak up on your boss say when he is getting in his car after work and take a rusty wooden knife and plunge it deep into his eye socket multiple times while simultaneously screaming "911 was an inside job!!" This should do the trick, not at getting your job back, but at the very least to make you feel better at your newly unemployed status. Not to mention the fact that it will give you an opportunity to tell a pretty neat story to your grandchildren one day as you guys sip on your favorite alcoholic beverage. :D

Beat the fuck out of him before you go in. When you get out tell him you had anger management treatment. May not work but it will keep me entertained.

Muss be up front with him. and its against the law to fire someone because they are an addict, its considered a disease and you cant be fired for it. same as in you cant fire someone because the have cancer. and leaving for rehab for two months follows that law. my brother had to do the same thing.
to be safe though so they dont just make up shit to fire you i would try and collect all your evaluations they gave you. they should all be positive being that youre good friends with your boss. hold them to prove that your performance was up to par or above it preceding your departure. again they can not fire you because youre an addict trying to get help

2 months of rehab for an alcohol addiction? That's a bit extreme. Take some antabuse, and get on with your life.

whateva is onto something.
What would Arnold do?
He'd use his incedible discipline to set down the bottle and not pick it back up.

tell him your an addict that needs some crack and money so you can get higher

Do Not tell your boss about Rehad/Ever...If you are in the states, take the family leave act for personal health problems...He doesn't need to know exactly why...Most alcoholics are living in denial and are some of the most judge mental bastards on the planet...If your boss never hit a rock bottom, he probably won't have sympathy for you...And if you deal with money, you are really fcked...
family leave act...

no, it isn't. Addicts are not in a protect class.

It is none of his business! All you have to do is tell him you are going in for treatment. When I went to rehab (in patient) I had the facility fax my job a form stating that I was going to be in for an undisclosed amount of time (It was like 3 weeks, should have been longer, but that is an entirely different story) I fell under FLMA so it was cool. My boss did not ask anyhting when I returned to work.

not sure if its in a class or not like the handicapped but i know you cant fire someone for being an addict if it does not affect your performance. my brother works for for the fed govt. and had to go to rehab and hr informed him of that. do you know other wise for sure? pretty sure i want under the wrong impression?

Agree what your private life consists of is none of his business, but insofar as it affects his business, it is his business. If an employee is going to disappear for an undetermined period, the owner has to hustle to keep the business afloat in the meantime so you even have a job to come back to.
A business owner would be well within his rights to just hire someone else (although I don't know what employment law says about this in the US). He doesn't have any moral obligation to support someone who is having personal problems. If he's a nice guy he may choose to do so, but it's unreasonable for an employee to claim on the one hand that their personal life is none of their boss's business and then say at the same time that their boss has to support them during a time of personal crisis.
Not trying to bash you Mike, but that's how I see it as a business owner. What it really boils down to is if the employee is good enough at his job to offset the cost and headache of giving him support.
And maybe your boss didn't say anything because you're a big mofo. ;D

IMO a business owner has the right to hire/fire anybody for anyreason. his money, spend it the way he wants.

Blow. I never used everyday, but I was a binge user and when I did i'd be gone for 1-2 days. Since I didn't use everyday, I didn't think I had a problem, so, that was my main hurdle in getting clean. It took some time, but i'm doing better.

Isn't that sort of a 'no answer' answer?
