I quit my job

I was a bartender/ cook who got paid with free alcohol and tips. My 6 year old daughter had to go with me for at least an hour everyday and witness some harsh stuff until my significant other came to pick her up. The only reason I took the job was to support my habit. I agree, I should have had something lined up. This is NOT the way I was raised. I have never up and walked out of any job. I'm sorry, I'm defensive on this one. I think with my significant other as a contractor in his own business we can lose the extra 200.00 bucks a week. Besides, how long can I sit here saying I'm going to find something better and continue. I have an active electric license and fire alarm certifications...why am I still cooking fryer food at a bar for pocket change?

I promise I'm not making light of your situation. Just wanted to say that your skills seem in HIGH demand and I hope you find something that suits you better that being a fryer cook.
Yeah I think mostly everybody here looked at your situation in a positive way CG. If you were still drinking you most likely would have never had the courage to stand up for yourself and move on from what sounds like a dead end job. Good for you!
Awww Lola, I would gladly help you. You can make light of it. It looks like my weepy mood turned to an angry mood. Sorry mountain man. I'm all over the place today.
Actually I would love it if it were joked about. I am WAY too emotional today and can't seem to pull it together.

I didn't have all the facts -- I do apologize and wish for you the best.
Wish you well in your sobriety.
