James, you are NOT a loser, for Pete's sakes. Jeez, you at least have a job, and what's wrong with cashiering? If you put your mind to it, you could eventually end up Manager of that store. Yes you COULD. Just make sure you're always on time, don't all in for dumb reasons, and work hard! They'll see your efforts, and one day put you iin the Managerial position! Just wait and see!

And please don't compare yourself with yoru siblings. We're all different. My sister went on and got her Masters degree, while I never went to college at all. I was an Optician for 15 years before I became disabled. Before that it was just secretarial work. Big deal. But I do NOT compare myself with her because I;m different. I just could NOT handle college even if I could have gone!

Just stay in AA -- stay SOBER and you'll find your life will take on new meaning. I promise you that. And you're depressed, so you SHOULD seek therapy. If you can't afford therapy at LEAST see your medical doctor. Are the meds you're taking for depression? If they are, it sounds like they're not working very well. Tell your doctor they may need adjusting cause you're still depressed. Have a talk with him, ok? God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
