I've lied, used, you name it to her, and she is obsessed and can't give me space and the real kicker is she's also the owner's wife of my job. He knows nothing. She's threatening to tell. And my birthday's in day an half. I'm loosing my mind. Please help!

Dear Scott,

On the one hand you want to break free of your drug history, but if you do your boss’ wife is going to spill the beans. Pick your poison.

You’re in a tough spot, but in the final analysis, your health is more important than your job, so let the boss’ wife do what she needs to do.

You need to get into a good recovery program and start living the healthy life you want, free of drugs, free of inappropriate relationships and maybe somewhere down the line you’ll be able to get up in the morning without some dark cloud hanging over your head.

I remember seeing Rosanne Barr on a talk show. At the time she was taking a lot of heat for her comedy, her lifestyle, you name it. She was being asked about all this stuff. She finally said something like, “Hey, I’ve got all this out in the open where everybody can see it. What’s going to hurt me now?”

The point is, you want to live out in the open, without worry about hiding an affair, or having to cover your tracks. You will take that initial hit, but then it will be over with. You can move on and rebuild.

The important thing is for you to be clean and healthy. It doesn’t sound like you’re thrilled bout your life the way it is now, so decide what you want and move forward.

Choose carefully!
