I've been working with a sober employer , he hasn't paid me in weeks. Labor... Roofing in the rain, snow. I know he's using , I can smell it. And had been using me. I distanced myself from him and saved his texts regarding pay. Listening to him yammer on at meetings have brought my anxiety / b.s. Levels to a boiling point. I got to a breaking point of f-it,I did not drink. I've been applying for jobs during this whole time , missed a few because I was working. I made it through the final phase of another opportunity, now am waiting for placement. Doubt it. I keep my head up, tell myself this is temporary, go to meetings. I live in my truck/ hotels/ my x's place. I've pressure washed her roof, cleaned the gutters,ect. I like to work. My hygiene is good and have a few hobbies. It's 4am, I suppose it's time to load up the truck and get out of here to go no where but I will be there before the long lines of traffic ,stores,crosswalks.coffee shops on and on. I feel my anxiety levels are bubbling , I'm into my credit cards now and I worked hard to pay them off. I know a lot of people have it rough, but for poor little o'l me, this is getting to me. Day 34 sober. Go find free wifi check craigslist for work , go to a meeting , stay out of the rain, go to my storage unit, blah blah blah blah blah if I get a fifth of whiskey I'll get more and more there is no testing the waters, no moderation.so what

Is there anyone higher up you can complain to? Is there an agency you could report him to? He has to pay you! I hope you can find another job soon. It's no fun working for free. 
Whatever you do, don't drink over it as that will not help anything.

Possibly, he's self employed. I could post a review on various websites regarding his work ethic I suppose. The softy in me wants his success in sobriety even though he's using. The softy me is slowly turning to resentful me, I know that's wasted mental real estate , but I sorta want to pummel the **** out of that ****** douchbag... Now that! Would be an awesome aa meeting.
