So, a little background, I struggled with addiction for 23 years. It started with oral Lortab, over time moved up to intranasal oxycontin, and the end of it was a few years of IV carafentanyl, fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamine. It was so hard to get clean, but finally I checked into detox, graduated there and instead of going home I went to an intensive inpatient rehab, graduated there, and immediately checked myself into outpatient treatment. Bc of my history, it's been really hard for me to find a job. After months of looking and several dozen applications I finally get hired at a BBQ restaurant and I busted my ass at that place. The job sucked, the food wasn't great, and I was only making $8/hour but I was happy just to be working. After being there a while I go to go on break and when I walk into the breakroom I see one of the other girls who works there who's always causing some sort of trouble has gone through my purse bc she's holding my phone in her hand going through it. At this point I had been clean for nearly a year but I'm still very proactive about my recovery so there are a ton of sobriety apps on my home screen. I asked her what she was doing and she said she thought it was her phone. Obviously that wasn't true bc it had been in my purse but I don't want to make waves bc I'm new and bc I really need the job. So I take my phone and put it in my pocket and get back to work. At the end of the day the manager paid me in cash for my time so far that week and says that she had scheduled too many people for the next day so to just call on for my schedule. Next day I call and I'm not on the schedule. So I call the owner to ask why and she tells me that Amanda (girl who went through my phone) called her and told her I was on drugs. I told her that I was not, I told her how long I had been clean, I offered to sign a waiver so that she could speak to my case manager at the outpatient treatment center, I told her I really needed the job and I was trying to get my life together and that it wasn't something she had to worry about because I was very confident in my recovery, None of it mattered. She told me she did not want anyone working for her who had ever had a drug problem and that she did not want me working for her anymore.
