I feel like a worthless piece of shit. I called all three of the recent job apps and they have already called the people they want 2nd interviews with. Again I get to start process over. There is nothing in the paper. I couldn't even get a paper route. Shit, fuck, damn!!!!!!!!!! I think I will take a xanax and crawl into bed and watch Physc.

Jolly, first of all, congratulations for your continued sobriety.
Second, finding a job is a bitch and a half. Especially right now. It took me seven months to find a job, and I lucked into this one and the last one I had.
Third, what do you do? Are you looking online? What about your friends, former colleagues, etc? Most times one finds a job through someone else. I have found only a couple of jobs outside of my network of friends and colleagues.
Three is nothing. Depends on what you do. Sometimes it's a numbers game. Meaning, for every 100 resumes you send out, expect maybe one or two bites. Depends on what your resume looks like.
Check out online resume resources. Make sure you are customizing your resume and cover letter for each job.
Here, check this site out. It's been incredibly helpful to me. There are TONS of resources on how to find a job, how to put your resume and cover letter together, networking, etc.

Don't get discouraged. You will almost always (everyone in this world) get 20 rejections to every 1 maybe. Life is mostly rejection. It's our fortitude and ability to say, "Okay, it was a mutual non-fit" that gets us back up the next day and say, "okay the perfect job is out there; the one that works for ME and THEM."

CONGRATS ON 174 DAYS SOBER!!
Sorry to hear you are going through such a tough time. When I was looking for a job (after I lost mine ... HEY EXACTLY A YEAR AGO TODAY! July 19th .... IndyMac Bank. What a great anniversary ....) and not finding one I lost my abstinence and gained 30 pounds.
It was ugly.
(My doctor also put me on lithium which sped up my weight gain.) :(
But, the point is, I lost my abstinence. Then I lost my OA sponsor and, because of the uncertain financial crisis I was going through, I lost my Debtors Anonymous sponsor as well.
IT IS THE TOUGHEST TIME EVER!
Keep you chin up as best you can ... Nah ... I really don't know what to say except I am here for you. xx
