I had this problem, and I didn't say anything to my employer. Some employers will likely see you as a liability, rather than a friend who they'd like to help. It depends on your employer, though. Some offer help for substance abuse problems, whereas others will just want to terminate you.

@pedrohedgerow I know a nurse that got addicted to drugs. Her employer gave her medical leave.
My job will allow a medical leave but you have to allow them access to the medical records.
When i worked for a cell phone company if you were honest up front they would put you on medical leave. If they found out in other ways it was immediate termination.
Depends on the company.
Otherwise you can take a leave of absence.

@questionWeaver yes it shows you are serious about getting help plus it has become a medical matter and the health & medical law may cover it better this way.
@cherokeepatti well said

I'm thinking that telling your store manager will result in them firing you.
If you have a substance problem, handle it outside of your work place, by seeing a professional.

Maybe if you'd been there for many years and are an asset but otherwise I wouldn't.

No matter what they have given you as a consolation idea. He would probably get fired.
