Looking for advice and support......

[5150kat]

Hi Everybody, I went here a couple months ago and it looked to big and scary to join so i chickened out! I finally got the patience (and the guts) up to check it out. I live in CA and Im on probation with the brn. I have two months left before my disability runs out (thats a whole other story) I have to start looking for work. I live in a really small county and there arent many jobs I can do with my restrictions. I am scared anyways to tell prospective employers the reason I am on probation (drugs) I have been clean for over a year . Please is there anyone out there in the same boat or who has been through this? I am going to school to be a drug and alcohol counselor, but that doesnt pay half of what our jobs pay, but I would love to work as an RN/drug counselor, but that cant happen till I finish school. I am also bipolar and have alot of other issues. You guys are probably thinking I am a total nut job! Im just a regular person who has made some stupid mistakes. Thanks for any advise. Kat
