Oh yea that’s why we can’t act on our impulses. But it’s hard not to when we’ve trained our bodies to use alcohol as a bandaid. So good for you for staying sober. Nicely done!

I’ve been in that boat - I had 4 finally interviews at one point and didn’t get any of them. I kept going to meetings instead of dwelling in my own head. I didn’t make it personal in fact I took all the feedback, and prepared hard before every interview leaving no stone unturned. I prayed a lot to my higher power. He gave me 3 answers!

-No
-No yet

  • I have something better for you.

It all works out if your willing turn it over.

Best of Luck!

I'm very lucky that my parents let me move back in after my break up. I did hurt myself alot cuz I would drink 24/7 and now since I have a gap in my employment it's hard to get anything. And I do appreciate the responses. I did read that artificial intelligence is actually screening resumes now and that's one of the reasons why it's hard for people to get a job. Not all places do that but I've seen more than a few companies do this
