I am a former heroin addict who is not in the best position to be all picky about what work I do and honestly the only benefit of this opressive labor is that I can sleep better and certain people in my life seem to believe that I really am trying to do better. Because I am. But thanks to this subreddit I've pretty much decided that I don't need to be exploited in order to stay clean. I don't need to help these mother fuckers build their business while I tear my body apart. The first week I was eager to pull my weight and worked so hard that I burned myself out.. then I got to talking with one of my very few friends who said he would quit right now fuck that. I'm in Texas, it's hot as balls soon and a meesly 100$ a day for weed eating/raking/wheelbarrowing my ass off is not going to make me want to stay clean. I respect my boss so idk how to formally quit with out sounding like a lazy gringo. I'm not lazy, I just want to do something that I care about and rich peoples lawns aren't it. I mean, 7am-5pm and I wasn't even getting a lunch break. I feel kind of discouraged because I know my gf's mom is going to be disappointed but I will go get high before I break my back another day (my gf is in tdcj I live with her very conservative mother in a small town, I came here after a near fatal overdose to try and get my life back) Any words of encouragement will be appreciated..
