Should I talk to my store manager about my substance abuse?

I recently posted something else about substance abuse and I appreciate you guys for all the advice. You have no idea how much it means to me.

I am thinking if I talk to my store manager in private with the HR person there I could get options right then and there. Think it’s a good idea? Won’t back fire on me?

Always risk. But most of the time honesty pays off and they will help you get what help you need.

@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.
