Will things get better? I can not change the past. Now, I want to pay my dues to society, continue to be sober, and work hard.
I am in a dark place. I am scared that no business will ever hire me again. I have not told my family.
Have any of you been in my shoes or know someone who has? Do things get better?
I got sober at the age of 35 years old and grabbed whatever jobs came my way. Took a good 4-5 years before I got back on my feet.
I hire a recovering meth addict from time to time do maintenance work He's skilled and knows what he's doing but with his record it's difficult to find employment.
Now, if the man screws up once he's gone. I will not hire him again.
He (we...) have got to stay sober if we're going to have a second chance at life.
