I know not a lot of people follow to hear about personal stuff but yesterday marked fours months of sobriety for me, reason why I’m bringing it up is because of how hard it’s been to keep it going with how the cards have fallen for me since that night.
Two weeks after that night, if some of y’all saw, I had to get an emergency appendectomy done and my supervisor at that job never told hr so I got let go since I had put my two weeks in but was going to rescind it because the place I was going decided not to hire me after I told them I wasn’t going to be able to work for two weeks, after almost a month I got another job after turning another one down because they were going to hire me outright but lied about what I was going to do until I started working so I called the one I turned down and got that one so I told my boss at that current one I was going to work out the two weeks but on payday he gave me my pay, fired and then insulted me on the way out the door and then the one after that I lasted a month before they reluctantly let me go because of how fast the company wants apprentices to be on their own. Everywhere I apply says I need x amount of years of experience and that the years I spent doing this in trade in high school and college don’t count so I’ve just been in a mostly downward spiral since the 22nd last month with brief moments of positivity like what’s coming up next week for me.
I didn’t write any of this for pity, I just wanted to get a lot of stuff off my chest and explain why if some moments in any stories seem a bit off. But if you’ve made it this far I just want to say thanks for reading my status and I guess I’ll see y’all in the next story update or status update.
