[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 514158, member: 1967"] As as excited as I am that difficult child got the job, I have new worries about her recovery. Up to now, she has been in a somewhat sheltered environment where she is expected to be sober. Out in the real world, people will not understand why she says that she doesn't drink or abuse other substances. Not to offend any hair dressers on the board, but it seems that the beauty industry doesn't attract the most stable people. Many of the girls in difficult child's class at cosmetology school were substance abusers. So how does she explain that she doesn't drink if she goes out with the other employees? I don't think she should share that she is in recovery at this point. Should she just turn down any invitations to go out for social occasions? One plus is that the owner told her that she needs to keep a distance between her and the stylists since she is doing the scheduling and doesn't want to appear as favoring one stylist over an other. I told her to be friendly but not become bff's with anyone. So how does she handle this? Any advice? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
