    Get to start work today! I know I haven’t been on much lately, my depression has been kicking my ass. But, I applied for a job at Family Dollar on Monday, got a call Tuesday, they put my background check through, got a text from the manager on Thursday saying my background check cleared for them, and asked me to come in Friday to fill out paperwork, and was told I start Sunday (today) at 1:30! So, I’m feeling a lot better about things, and can actually get my ass back on track, and not go back to being broke. Since I didn’t get hired until Friday, and Wednesday was the last day of my unemployment, I get to make my last claim on Tuesday with a clear conscious, so I’ll have a bit of money to get my boyfriend and I by until I get my first check. I’m really happy to be back working, and very, very grateful that I was able to get unemployment, and that I waited to get it until the pandemic. I lost my job back in October 2019, and my parents (who I was living with at the time) never told me I could apply for unemployment, therefore I didn’t know I could, because I had gotten fired from my last job. I’m very grateful that things worked out this way, and I didn’t have to wait long for a job opportunity to present itself. I’m not a religious person, and my concept of the God of my understand isn’t necessarily your traditional God, but my God of my understanding, and my Higher Powers both seemed to have worked together to make the stars and planets align perfectly at the right time for me. And I feel they did that because I have done so well this first year of my true recovery. I give so much thanks to those entities, and to myself. Hope all of you have a great Sunday, and my peace, love, and light be with each and everyone of you today, and throughout your journey. If no one has told you today that they love you, and that they are proud of you, I do, and I am. <3

    • That’s awesome @B! 🙌 Congratulations on the new job and thank you for sharing with us!

      • Thank you! I absolutely love it! It may just be the dollar store, but so far, it’s sooooooo much easier than fast food, pizza jobs, and working in factories. I do miss working in shops, because the pay is totally worth it, but I started at a good wage, better than any other type of small job like the dollar store or fast food and shit. It’s pretty close to what one would get working first shift at a plastic injection factory.
