oooooohhhhhh k Romeo….. what a comedian
just for a lil background…..
when I was 19 I poured concrete for almost a year,
hthen I did commercial framing (wood and steel)
then I worked ‘residential’ type stuff like decks and siding, stairs, etc for about 3 years
that led into a glazing job, nothing but windows, doors, mirrors, fireplaces, safety glass
then I just didn’t wana work, cuz it got in the way of ‘hooking up’ with my favorite drugs, so I started selling instead of working. Im such a genious……lol
anyways, constructions all I know. Ive always been a tomboy. Iknow big surprise, right?
so the first week I was n suboxone, I was at the pharmacy and had a bunch of resume’s with me, the pharmacist asked how the sub treatment was going, I said fine except I cant fin d a job ANYwhere!
after talking for a bit, turns out his son owned the door shop, I now work at……
yes, very small town, but it was nice that my boss knew what was up with me as far as replacement therapy, and everything and was pretty supportive. and now Im the best he has…….. yea, sad I know…..LOL
I hadnt ever done countertops or any "high end" door finishes untill I started there. but its definitely been a great outlet for me.
So I made it thru christmas well…… It was so awesome to buy my son some gifts, and have money left over. the first christmas I actually bought him gifts for both his birthday and christmas… (his bday is 12/16)
its just so different for me actually having a little bit of money. cuz even when I first startd working, my suboxone took about HALF my pay. and I have given my grandma at least a hundred bucks each and every payday, becuase I stole so much shit from her when I was using, that Im just trying to make it up toher.
So now with me not having to pay for my suboxone, with the RB patient assistance, Ive been able to give her even more money, and Im still ‘okay’
by that I mean, we have groceries in the cupboards, and gas in the car. for so long, I didnt have that luxury. iknew exactly how many miles i could drive with the gas light on, all the places I could have a ‘tab’ for a pack of smokes, and so on.
Im just so thankful of everything i have now, even though someone from the outside looking in may not see very much…………
