I've been struggling at my job since I started it - getting really negative feedback, and I've also struggled with relapse since starting. Yesterday my addictions Dr. wanted me to quit my job for medical reasons and go back into the core addictions program (It's actually a concurrent disorders program so they deal with MH as well) I balked. Well today I got fired. I was still on the probationary period so they could let me go for no cause and with no notice. Basically they told me I was a bad fit and not performing up to thier standards. Well I called my addictions Dr., and one of my addictions nurses to tell them, this morning, and by this afternoon they'd arranged for me to start rehab on Fri. Normally their's a waiting list, but for some reason they always fast track me - guess it's because I've been a long time patient with them. They're not like most rehabs, once they get their hands on you - they don't let go, I think it's cause they are a concurrent disorders program. So I start rehab again on Fri. This will be my 4'th time in rehab (3'rd in thier program) Part of me feels like a failure for needing it again, but realistically I need the support - and I feel like they pulled strings to get me in. Not sure how I feel about taking the 10 weeks to do treatment and not job hunt full time, but realistically I know I need to be sober in order to get and keep another job.
Now I just have to figure out employment insurance.
