[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 174420, member: 179"] Maybe starting slow is good. If you haven't worked in awhile, and have some physical stuff going on, you need some time to heal. At the same time, you need to set a goal to be self sufficient. That's a one task at a time deal. Today: I'm going to apply for 3 jobs. Tomorrow: I'm going to apply for 3 more jobs. Next day: I got a job!!! (Geez, I wish it was that easy.) Geez, it took me 6 months to get my silly low paying, part time job, but it's probably done more for my mental health than anything in a long time. Now it's: Today: I need to get up and go to work. Tomorrow: I need to shower. But even those two small things make me feel better. Once I actually GET to work, I love it. I love the people. It's just getting there. I hope he finds something that suits him and gives him a purpose to stay clean and move on. Abbey [/QUOTE]
