I have to agree with this post, but that's big picture thinking. If you're on Day 2, the key is to make it to Day 3. We understand you need to pay rent, etc. We also understand that if being a Wal-Mart greeter is the only alternative right now, it's probably not appealing to look elsewhere.
You might eventually find that being a part of the bar & nightlife scene isn't a lifelong option. Congrats on Day 2 and I hope Day 3 is another positive step.
