Right on Richie, keep it up. I can relate to the discouraged feeling, one foot in front of the other buddy. Keep an eye out for volunteering opportunities. Those can lead to jobs and connections too.
Thought I had reached the end of my rope looking for a job. But I got one! A much better job than I had before and only ten minutes from home. I'll start Jan 10th and I can't wait. God has blessed me more than I ever expected. And the best part is...I'm still clean. Must be about four and a half months now. Rarely think about it any more!
What a great Christmas present! The Grace of God! May he bless you all!

Thank you all. Monday I officially start my new job. It will in fact be the best job I've ever had! And best of all, I am clean and sober! Five and a half months now. I have the grace of God to thank for everything. I feel free and alive like I haven't felt in....well, ever! Weed will hold me down no longer. God bless you all.

This is wonderful news and no doubt you have helped so many by posting here. I feel so happy for you Yayyy on reclaiming your life, Richie!!
Almost six months clean now! Been working at my new job for 2 weeks and I must say it is the best job I've ever had. Still have dreams about smoking but for the most part I don't think about it. It is like I have begun a new life. Thank you all for your support!
Still straight. Most of the time I don't even think about it. New job is going great. Thanks to SR Forums for giving me a place to vent and encouragement to keep myself from falling back into the void of weed. 7 Months clean now and living a new life!
Hi everyone. Well its been 9 and a half months and I'm still clean. Its an everyday struggle but I am pushing on. My new job is going great.
The smoking dreams still come at me several times a week. But I am not going to give in. God has given me another chance and I am not going to mess it up. And my grandson is the best reason in the world for me to do the right thing. After 44 years of steady smoking I have stopped. If I can then you that are struggling can also. God bless you all.
