Thanks everyone,
Well the job was a non starter. It turned out to be a commission only financial planning job, selling insurance and investment products. It was with a reputable financial services firm but there's no way I could do that job. It would send me back to drinking for sure.
So it's back to my original plan. Finish IOP, maybe do transcranial magnetic stimulation, and get involved with Progress Place.
As far as the people at Progress Place go, it's a mix but generally people are on the higher functioning end of the spectrum, mainly because during the day you have to be working while you're there, and there's a wide range of jobs, depending on interest / skills. It operates more as a drop in evenings and weekends so I'm not sure what that atmosphere is like.
There are definitely some clubhouses I wouldn't go to, namely because I'd either want to slit my wrists or punch someone out after an hour, but they target a different population and offer different services.
