Dawn thank you for your much maligned input...as i write i am putting together c.vs to a sweatshop near me.ATB........Davey
Well thats it..Jack...they only wrote me up once...but the killer was the urine test...jeez im clean off smack&benzos for over a yr.and i get the boot over an occassional joint....just not fair...i worked hard in those 6yrs.but a whispering campaign got to managments ears so any fault how minor i got the major blame...the cultural differences made a difference to a few...but those were the few who had the supervisors ear.Anyway i gotta look forward my biggest fear having to come off the done.too soon coz in my heart i know i aint ready....only time will tell.Thanks.........Davey
..Davey..
..Im real sorry for ya mate that ya lost ya job..if there was a whispering campaign goin on then it was prob just a matter of time until they got sumfin on ya to get rid of ya..dont really know wot else to say mate..just hope ya can sort sumfin out soon to get ya back on ya feet..chin up mate, easy for me to say that but try stay positive if ya can..good luck mukka ;)..Robbie..

Aw Davey, Im so very sorry. Jack is absolutely right. Here there is a process in most companies before they let someone go. Also a positive test for weed would almost certainly have allowed you the chance to take steps to retest ..if you wanted to go that route. I get drug tested too and it's kept me off of it. I miss it. Just took one two weeks ago. Anyway, this really sucks Davey. If I could do anything, I surely would. Please be strong in yourself and hang in there. Welders are in demand around here and paid well. I hope so in your area too. Something will come along. It did for me. (New job for the drug test). Keep us posted on how you're passing your time and what's going on. Don't isolate. We need you here! Again, I'm so sorry. I probably couldn't count the jobs I would have lost if I got fired every time I got caught fuc*ing off! Or with weed in my piss. Please take good care,
Beck

Davey...I usually post on the PP forum but do read here occasionally to see what yall are up to.
I just wanted to tell you to that I am so happy that you are working on your resume! Great attitude...I believe what robbie said was true....just a matter of time anyway. I am a firm believer in what happens is for the best. Slam that door shut and say goodbye and get ready and excited to start something new!
Good job on your clean time too. You may want to lay off the Mary Jane for a while...you may have to get a pre-employment drug screen.
Please don't come off done before you have to especially when things are a little volatile right now!
I think its great that you are making a change...whether forced or not! I bet you will be working again in no time and that you love your new JOB!
Good luck and keep your chin up!
I just wanted to add that I am big time into AA/NA and work a strong program. But I would never tell another addict how to behave or live there life. We all have our own lessons to learn. I certainly don't support smoking pot but what you do is your own business. However, I would always extend my hand if needed!

How you doing today Davey, gald to hear you're doing a CV, start as you mean to go on! Why will you need to come off the green? You even said yourself you're not ready. Is there no way of you staying on it? Hope so. Hope you and Sian have a great day tomorrow, take it easy, Kev
Davey,
Just a hey there, and ya know I love you.
Kee Kee thank you for that post..............for some people that aren't familiar with NA that helped alot...........I am familiar with the program and it saved my friend Tres's life I believe..............BUt and a big BUT..........when the initials NA are a part of someone's screen name and they come on gangbuster......a person could automatically think "Da*n them NA people are on a huge high horse. I'd be afraid to ask them for advice or to share with them"......thanks Kee Kee cause we adore Davey......I for one am grateful for your concern.
Meanwhile to each his own.........and I admire anyone that speaks the truth....no beating around the bush, but hell if there's a speck of empathy there.

Davey, so sorry to hear that you lost your job. Being a single parent is hard enough. I hope that you find something soon. Myself, I can't indulge in smoking pot, though I lived 90% of my life high, it leads me back to the coke, a slippery slope.
Keep your chin up, something good will happen soon.

Not quite sure how I missed this post. Sorry to hear your news...but I hope that something more positive comes from it and that you may even find a job where you get a bit of well-earned respect. People's ignorance makes me so mad.
Just wanted to say something about Sian...you know the best birthday present? Is that she's got you...her daddy who loves her...and is working his recovery amazingly...you guys will be just fine.
Lots of luck,

Kev the reason i might have to come off the green is the clinic i attend is in Dublin bout 2hrs on a bus...i get a 13day takeaway..so my last job suited as it was alternate early&late shifts so i could go up every 2nd week....now i gotta look for a job but they will prob.have regular 9/6 type hrs.It wont be for awhile but im not mentally prepared to come off rapidly....to be honest if i come off and given my down mood a relapse might be round the corner...as you know smack is just a phone call away....the devil and idle hands etc.......even if i dont score i was a real benzo head and i cant have them back in my life coz im a pig for them.Maybe /hopefully i can keep it together i aint got the dollers anyway ...but as ya know an addict can get the means for a score easy enough....sorry to sound pesimistic...tomm.Sians b/day so i gotta be there in every respect for her....which i will.Anyhow Kev sorry for the ramble and thanks for the concern...also to all the good folk who have posted on this thread a big thank you.........Davey
I got no advice for you Davey but I have everything crossed and I'm sending every last ounce of energy I have to help you through this! You can do it.

Sorry about the job Davey, it's tough for you and Sian. But try and be positive, with your skills you should be able to find something - if you fancy a move Dyfed Steel are always willing to give a good man a chance. But I don't think travelling back and forth across the Irish sea will fit too well into your family life! Still, I could probably sort you and the little one somewhere to stay - I gotta house opposite the junior school, and 5 mins walk from the factory. And the money is good, good enough to have a reasonable lifestyle for you and Sian.
Take care my friend, and don't worry about the NA nazis. If anyone asks me if I'm clean and sober, I reply "Of course not, I'm normal!" I'm off the gear and have no plans of going anywhere near it ever again, but on the rare occasions that we can get a sitter, I enjoy a few cans as much as the next girl, and although I'd never bother my arse to go out and score weed, it's harvest season, and I've had a good crop. So wtf, I enjoy a smoke once Rowanne is in bed, and sometimes I even have a glass of wine as well, the terrible sinner that I am. I'd better lock the door, I'm going to have the NAers descending on the place to string me up for crimes against sobriety.
And yes, I lost a few jobs for nodding out at work. But you ain't even on the gear, you're probably just knackered from being SuperDad, and breadwinner all at the same time...
love

Differ...as usual yer spot on....im gonna see how things go but a move back to the U.K aint outta the question..i just gotta think bout Sian shes 8 tomm.and turning a curve in her life which is here...i know you got yer great lil girl but when they get older the options dont really widen...your life becomes theirs in a sense.Diff had to laugh at yer guffaws at the NA gang...think she was a kapo in another life at a slave labour camp.
The killer on the job front was i hadnt had a smoke in two weeks....bit of a drought on...but as ya of all drugs the simple sativa lasts longer in the body...i might as well have been on a crack binge....wouldve been outta my system quicker.Anyhow all the best to you and nipper.........Davey

Wishing you all the best Davey! Keep in mind that a relapse happens way way before you score or put any drug in your body. Its good that you are talking about it.....that will help sort out those feelings.
Sometimes crap happens to us and we can't figure out for the life of us WHY? Then low and behold something else happens and then it all makes perfect sense!
Fight the good fight and good things will come your way!

i've not had time to keep up with all the post. Wanted to say Davey this is totally CRAPPY. Hopefully you get some work lined up real soon. It is stressful i've just went thru getting a job thing. Take care be good to yourself.
Please wish Sian a very Happy Birthday from me Davey. As always, you're both in my thoughts and prayers. She's a very lucky girl to have you for her dad!
Love, Beck

Davey -
I read your post before anyone else had posted and I felt funny responding because you and I haven't spoken before. Isn't that silly when all I wanted to do was offer some support? Now that all your 'mates' (the key players on this forum) have weighed in, I'd just like to say that I am sorry for the stress this must be causing you and I can tell what a stand-up guy you are from reading your posts these past months. Enjoy your daughter's birthday and remember...often when a door closes a window will open. Hoping that window shows itself soon.
Peace~MomNMore
