Six months sober and unemployed
Happy Sunday every one!! I am six months into my sobriety. I am so blessed to have a high bottom after nine years of being a functional alcoholic. I have a long way to go, but I have today. I also finally feel employable. Through the unconditional love of my high power, the rooms, and my parents, I feel it is time to reenter the work force, start my life, and financially ammends. I have a little college experience and ten plus years as a waitress, and fine dining server. Nervous that food and beverage is a sespool of things that hurt my sobriety but remain strong. What are some jobs you all suggest to get back into the work force?? Thanks for your time and care!
BlessMe, personally I'd be nervous about going back into the food and beverage line of work. Drinking is always in your face and a big part of the restaurant culture is to 'wind down' with one or ten drinks after a shift. I echo the thoughts above on going back to school for something else while working part-time if that's an option for you. Congratulations on 6 months, by the way!
