Hi - I'm a recovering alcoholic myself. What i've done in the past is been honest with them. I figure that somewhere along the line there is always the possibility that they might hear about my alcoholism somehow, somewhere - so it's better that I tell them outright.

If I end up NOT making it thru the probationary period - and I feel I've done my job up to par, and have not had any write ups - and I try to make copies of my personnel file (which are supposed to be open to us) and there are good reports in the file, then I have reason to sue for unfair firing. This happened to me once and I sued and WON. I do NOT like to sue, but when something like this happens and it's definitely NOT FAIR, I'm going to use my rights. God bless. Hugs, Lee
