Sober or not I don't ever expect to be employed again making what I made 3 years ago. Was in a good finance job and the company got bought. Overhead positions like mine were eliminated in 2018. That's the way it goes. I do have a decent skill set but my personal profile (58 YO white male) is not an advantage in the USA when looking for a job right now.
I accept the things I cannot change. I went to a noon AA meeting the day I got laid off. Right now I am consulting part time and making less than half of what I made. We will survive.
