Hi,

There are lots of issues to deal with in early sobriety.

I think you should say as little as necessary in a job interview, but not lie. You might say that you were dealing with personal issues and you are anxious to get a job and to move forward with your life. Hopefully that would be enough. If not, and you're asked to be specific, then I think being honest is the only way.

It's understandable that you would be nervous about getting a job again. Is it possible to work part-time, or to take a job that is not stressful?
