One of the best things that ever happened to me was finding myself the single parent of an 8-year-old daughter after I got out of rehab, and starting over in a new place.

I was pounding the pavement the day after discharge from rehab, landed a full-time job within a week, and in a month's time had a rental for my daughter and myself. I had to be responsible for the two of us.

Getting a job and being responsible is a great way to help a recovering addict find self-worth and continue moving forward in recovery.

Trust the process!
