If your working a program, call your sponsor. Remember the world doesn't stop just because you've stopped drinking. We all have to deal with @ssholes from time to time. Some are sicker than others.

Congrats on being in recovery.
Your coworker sucks. Go to HR and file a complaint.

Your coworker sounds like a real butthead. I would confront him and if that doesn't work, I would tell him off and then ignore him as much as possible. Some people are born aholes.

Tell him to stop, if that don't work try mentioning it to your boss, if he does nothing I would like for another job. You don't need temptations when your in recovery

This is harrassment and you do not have to tolerate it. Report him to your boss, and if you do not get satisfactory results contact your EEOC. If your boss refuses to put a stop to this behavior you have the basis for a discrimination complaint.

tell em to leave you alone and ask him if he thinks it is so easy to stop drinking; tell him to try it. If it continues, you may have to go to your boss and tell him this guy is harassing you. Congratulations and good luck in recovery.

What a jerk!!! This man maybe is jealous that you are doing something about your problem. Invite him to an AA meeting-maybe he will get the hint.

Ignore the clod. If you do not respond, it wont be any fun for him anymore and he will stop being such a jerk. know that what you are doing is good and rise above his actions.

How about ... We both have our curses. I'm an alcoholic. You were born ugly.
At least I could quit drinking.

DON'T LET ANYONE TRY TO TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR...YOUR SOBRIETY!!!! IF YOU HAVE TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE IN A HIGHER POSITION OF AUTHORITY AND EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT'S GOING ON,THEN THAT'S WHAT YOU DO. HIM DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT BE AGAINST A COMPANY RULE.....REMEMBER ONE DAY AT A TIME.IT WORKS....
