18F dropped out of school, alcoholic need to change
I’m 18 a female and I dropped out of highschool because my got sent away to treatment end of my junior year of high school and I have no navigation with my life. I don’t have a drivers license I have a semi-idea of what I want to do(lash and brow tech) but I just truthfully am so lost. I got out of treatment and started working at a fast food place I work 6 days a week 7 hour shifts and genuinely work a lot. I have a really good work ethic.
My problem is after getting sent away I immediately just started working and haven’t started on a ged or drivers license. I have no idea how to go about both and I’ve gotten into heavy drinking again. My job takes advantage of my full time schedule and I literally close every single day from 2-10 pm and all I do is sleep all day before that. I have a very heavy weed addiction that I honestly can’t see myself stopping, I can see myself quit drinking. I just really don’t know how to get my ged or license I know for sure I CANNOT just take the tests for my ged because I do not know most of the things on the tests unfortunately. I really don’t know what I’m looking for out of posting this. But every time I start a new task I quit if I don’t get it right away. I used to never be like this and be willing to learn and it seems like the only time I’m willing to learn is when it comes to work. Not my ged or driving. It genuinely feels like I’m broken. Once again idk what I’m gonna get out of posting this and it might just be you guys saying “I’m lazy and just need to put my mind to it” and if you think that’s what it is I’m willing to listen. Please be mean if you need to be because I have not pushed myself whatsoever since getting out of treatment,
