I agree. I'm trying to be a little realistic. He has group 3 times a week, a meeting with a doctor once a week and individual therapy once a week. The place tests for everything so I know he's clean. But I think with recovery comes a severe depression... This I feel is the cause of the sleeping. I live in a city and I feel with the holidays it would be easy to grab a part-time gig. If not, there are plenty of places to volunteer.

For my daughter, the best jobs were through word of mouth through her meeting friends. That way she had nothing to hide. It was very difficult for her to transition into a "real" job.
