In order to keep your alcoholism from interfering with your workplace relationships, it is important to have a plan in place for managing the situation. One approach is to be open about your struggle and try to find understanding coworkers who are willing to support you through a professional treatment program. This can help create an understanding work environment and reduce any fears they may have of how the situation might unfold. If speaking out is not a viable option for you, then it might be beneficial for you attempt to limit or conceal your involvement with alcohol during work hours so as not to draw unnecessary attention towards yourself.

It may be difficult to hide an alcohol addiction from coworkers but there are steps that can be taken. First, making an effort to keep consistent working hours can make it more challenging for coworkers to notice any changes in one's behavior or habits. Additionally, avoiding being alone at the workplace during regular business hours could help prevent any potentially inappropriate activities from being seen. Finally, refraining from discussing personal matters with coworkers and minimizing computer and/or electronic communications could also reduce suspicion of an alcohol issue.
