Hi I recently started a new job and called the EAP number to find out about getting support about my drinking. I drink a bottle or two a night of wine, but still go to work and "function". I want to quit and thought the EAP could help me get counselling to dean wig my issues.
I explained I have a 16 month old son and live with him and my husband who is a non drinker. The guy on the telephone was concerned and said he needed to speak to his supervisor as my child is at risk.
I'm really worried now as I think he will contact social services, my child is healthy and never dad any issues and I start drinking after he's in bed usually after dinner and a bath. His dad doesn't drink.
Will EAP contact social services and if so why I'm so worried and scared now I called to ask for support and help not have my child taken away.
Can anyone advice me
