The Negativity is Real
978 days sober today. I set my life on fire about 3 years ago due to my addiction. Had legal troubles of course (non violent drug felony; on a deferred sentence with 8 months left).
Everything has been going strong. My recovery is at the top of my priority list. I’m ready to move on with my life in sobriety and leave the on fire version of my life behind.
I got a job offer from the treatment facility I went to originally. I would have been doing admissions for them; we were so excited to start rebuilding and moving forward. But they rescinded the offer due to my background check.
I’m just feeling super discouraged and angry. This society we’re in wants to keep us in our place. I don’t want to use by any means but I do want to give up trying to stay positive.
