Actually I couldn't hold a job.
I worked the same job for over 8 years. Last October I had a nervous breakdown from my severe alcoholism. I took a leave of absence to get sober. Their is no way I could have functioned at my job - I could hardly function at all.
I tried to go back to that job in February but I couldn't even get through the first day. I quit that job and now I am going to school and changing my career path.
I have completely changed my life.
Recovery comes first - luckily I can afford to take some time off.
Good luck.
