applied to a few places today. trying to find full time work so i'll have a head start before i get back into the halfway house.
my sponsor thinks i should just focus on my sobriety for now, but my parents think otherwise. after all, they are letting their junkie daughter with no job stay with them again. the least i can do is get a job..
it definitely motivated me since they said they arent givin me money for cigarettes anymore. that pissed me off though i thought i was going to have a nervous breakdown cus i've been craving a little bit still, and then i had no cigarettes... i wanted to just throw a tantrum and cry and scream like a child. i calmed down thankfully, and my brother brought me a pack. there is NO WAY im quitting two addictions at once.. anyways
jobs for a felon? FML

I don't completely understand the sponsor relationship as I have never had one... but I can't see how having something to do and earn some money would hurt sobriety -- unless YOU feel you're not ready. I mean I would avoid anything overly stressful if you could -- but aside from that... It's your journey really.

I think that having a job would likely help your self-esteem, as well as helping the situation with your parents. Good luck with the job search.

Balance is good!

I think the trick is to throw your net far and wide...

I think a job would be a good thing. It is nine hours a day where I wasn't sitting at home wondering what do do out of boredom.
