There is nothing unny about being unemployed. To go along with that, try being unemployed with knowledge that you have less than two years beore total homelessness. I have a bone-dry bank account, a mother with dimentia, a ather who is losing entire days, sister and brother's who never even call... and yet through the last couple years I have managed to stay booze ree despite being around booze 24/7; it no longer controls me and hasn't or well over a decade. I am absolutely qualiied to be a case manager working with those looking to deal with alcohol/drug addiction. I have many stories, but I was lucky. Many I have known were not, including many members o my amily. I actually have a vision o a place where people can go to just get away. It's a simple place where people can again learn that it is about the simple things. It's like baseball practice. You play the undamentals until you know them... and then you play them again and again because you learn to love the process itsel. Someone once said that i you can't explain something simply, you don't know it well enough to explain it. I believe that to be true. However, I do understand that being emplyed means going with rules already in place. I am with that as well. I have been on both sides o case management. I have direct experience with good and bad case management and I have seen and elt the eects. Yet no matter how oten I apply or inquire or ollow up, I get hardly any response. I can't hardly speak to somebody ace to ace. I really believe technology can hinder human relationships and experiences.
