Lost Disability Case Because Of Alcoholism...
After over 2 and 1/2 years I have lost my disability in Federal Court. I had 4 appeals, 2 different lawyers and they did there best. Social Security claims my mental illness is caused by my alcoholism/substance. I haven't taken it too well and believe I'm in relapse mode. I'm up to my old tricks of panhandling downtown, on the train and pretending to have lost my luggage and wallet at the airports and need money for a ticket home. I guess I'm saving this money for a bender. I'm sober but so angry I could scream. I'm having trouble locating my treatment records so I may not be able to get my license back either. Everything is crashing around me and I don't care much anymore. My sponser never believed in me filing anyways so he is not much help. Friends/family cannot believe I was denied but that's the "system". I simply cannot work and just feel so frustrated.
