My finances are far beyond what I ever will pay back. I owe over $100,000 in medical bills alone. I will be taking the easier & smarter way & file bankruptcy in a year or so. I have usually worked "cash jobs" in the past to keep my government benefits.

don't even entertain that thought
let's hope that you don't but if you do relapse
quit the job before you would stoop so low

there are limits in our lives now that we know better

They also know that I grew up with the head manager so I feel like I'm looked at as the "boss's pet".
much? be careful leaving the door open even a little. It will slam just on you.

It's true. I would like to say I don't drink at all but I have relapsed for the past 10 years. I can't say anymore that I will never drink again. It's just too much pressure.

I'm glad you got a job Just! And I'm so happy that you stopped drinking again. I was able to keep my job during my drinking years. But I am sure people new. I certainly can tell when someone is hungover . . . but I had a lot practice being that way.
