Yeah, it's a lot easier said than done. But try to look at it from another angle. By helping others, we help ourselves stay sober. It's the whole basis for the 12th step. If you look at helping your roomate as an act of Mercy rather than an inconvenience, you'll have taken a big step on the road to recovery. But in any event, just do the best you can. That's all we can ask of ourselves. As to the job, you may be suprised. A lot of employers appreciate honesty up front when hiring. If you tell them the truth they may look at that as an asset rather than a liability. Good luck.
