Sorry, no, I don’t believe this at all. I have many years experience of working with people in recovery and I’ve yet to meet a single one who held down a job. Many years later? Yes. On methadone and living like Lou lives? Never.
Not condoning it as a lifestyle but bffr
Thank you,my friend works in a kitchen washing pots not much but its still work, and he is on methadone and in recovery,don't no if it's just were im from but you can work whilst getting help,he does the same to keep him busy,with lou she just doesn't want to make the effort or work,i wouldn't say she's in recovery considering she's abusing ste's medsI know several people either in active addiction or recovery. 1 of them kept his job even during his active addiction stage. Another one got a volunteer job 3 weeks after starting a programme and stuck to it because it kept them busy.
