My friend from work, who left, came in to get his last paycheck. He went to a new rehab that's opening up the street, owned by a national company that has benefits and seems to have it "together." He encouraged me to apply, so I did. They want people with experience, but they mentioned 12 Step experience, so I put down that I have 16 years in recovery without AA. My friend that was hired is in the program, whereas other people who work here who applied are not. Maybe I have a chance? Who knows? It's 11-7 OF COURSE. But benefits would be nice! The pay is basically the same. The commute distance is the same. We will see what happens.

I started taking the train to work. It's my first time. It's so nice to know that it's Monday morning, traffic will be terrible, and I won't be in it!
