Päiv's worst fear is that he would be exposed at his workplace. Work has been his salvation for 20 years and has kept him in a normal life.
Alcohol has dominated 44-year-old Päivi's everyday life since her teenage years. It's a secret that none of Päivi's coworkers know about. Päivi is most afraid of being exposed – and regrets how drinking has affected her children's lives.
“Jos I would tell my colleagues in the coffee room at work that I am an alcoholic, no one would believe me.
They would probably smile and say, 'what are you talking about, you alcoholic?' and laugh.
But this is my secret. I don't think it shows outwardly that tentacle cans rule my life, and my work hasn't suffered as a result. Well, in the course of 20 years, I've lied a few times that I'm sick because I've had too much to drink in the evening and I haven't been able to make the 7 a.m. shift.
