I have substance abuse issues which I am managing well lately. I also have depression and anxiety.

Something I did to a coworker last year has recently come back to haunt me.

I was extremely drunk at last years Christmas party and I told a lie about an innocent coworker to try and be funny. I vaguely remember it except for flashbacks.

The next day when we were all sober another coworker said “omg is it true about coworker x - is what you said last night really true?”

Instead of coming clean I continued the lie.

I didn’t think anything of it until recently a senior member directly comforted coworker x saying I had said xyz about him.

It has come back to me now and I have deeply apologized to this coworker. He has forgiven me but management will be extremely angry when they inevitably hear about this through the grapevine.

My reputation is gone, likely my job too. I have truly never felt more miserable, worthless, and horrified.

well you could suck it up go to mgt and let them know you were staggeringly drunk and made a huge mistake of judgement which you regret hugely. you might at least score some points for being honest at least, maybe they will suggest rehab or something (or you could) in an effort to make things right.

I would guess that due to what happened you may not be managing as well as you could be thinking...
