And no I'm not interested in drinking, I was just venting about the situation.
My boss even jokes that I had had this happen to me twice, but more along the lines of "How bout your luck, huh?" and I knew it was a joke..
My mother worries that I will have financial problems if I can't accept work.. She doesn't know I have savings, she doesn't know I am on top of things, she doesn't know I have nearly 4 months of sobriety, she doesn't know how I'm doing, she knows I've been happier, but she thinks showing emotion in a moment of stress is akin to an emotional outburst that signals severe mental health issues... *banging head against wall.. figuratively not really*
