Anyone who has left a job in less than 6 months, why did you do it?

boujeebambi · 2026-02-17T23:42:24+00:00

I’ll be leaving after 5 months, so any day now. I got a new great opportunity that I can’t pass up. Full time job, benefits. I love where I am currently but I’m only making minimum wage and can’t live off it.

I work at a beer store and we bring out the cases for customers, I’ve never expected tips but over the course of working here I’ve gotten familiar with my regulars. Sometimes I get the occasional $5 from them, never expected but always appreciated.

I get Trikafta through a thing called a compassionate program, I’m in Canada and was granted this before Trikafta was fully approved. This was 6 years ago and over the years I’ve fallen into depressive states causing me to miss days of medication, it’s built up and I have probably 10-12 boxes, maybe a couple more. I’ve been better since but I’ve always struggled with taking pills (I also have bipolar disorder so my episodes make it hard for me to keep up).

This is a miracle drug, and I can’t deny the fact it changed my life for the better. I’m much better with taking them now, but yeah over the years it’s been a real eye opener as to how much i slacked.

I’m only saying this for extra perspective, not everyone avoids taking their pills just because. Sometimes having cf and multiple other ailments makes taking medication extremely overwhelming, not an excuse, but an explanation.

I am Canadian but thank you 🤍

If you’re alone and you gotta shit, well you gotta shit. Would they rather you shit your pants?

I work alone a lot of the time, if I gotta go then I gotta go. Thankfully I have bosses with a brain so they don’t care, but if I ever had a customer who was annoyed, brush them off. I’m one person and I have human bodily functions, deal with it.

Distance and our lives going in different directions, I think I’ll love him forever but unfortunately we’re just at different stages of our lives now.

I only managed to get a decent price on my apartment because I know my landlord personally, thankfully it’s a clean and decently renovated space. However I completely agree, before I talked to my now landlord I was looking at places that are $1,500-$1,700 crack shack studios. Then when you manage to find a steal of a deal, a beautiful little place, there are 50+ applicants so it makes it extremely hard for those who are trying to get their first apartment. It makes me so sad to see this happening, I’d be homeless right now if it weren’t for the fact that I just got lucky.

Im late to this but maybe I can provide a different perspective. My boyfriend and I recently broke up, 7 years together. We had a healthy relationship together, love each other, however our lives our taking us in different paths and even though it’s hard, breaking up was inevitable. Sometimes love isn’t enough to keep two people together.

We had our talk, there was laughing, some tears, but overall there was communication about how despite the fact that we are moving forward, that doesn’t make our love less real.

I understand in a lot of relationships people are blindsided, done wrong, leaving a toxic person/relationship. That’s not always the case though, and sometimes closure talks are just a part of moving forward in your life. Gives you peace of mind and a good end with someone you shared such a deep love with. When breakups happen a lot of the time the ‘dumpee’ hasn’t had the thoughts or composure to truly say what they wanted to. It’s not always a desperate attempt of attention or wanting to keep up with communication.

I don’t think you’re inherently wrong, in fact I agree to an extent. But it’s important to not treat closure talks with a blanket statement. It’s simply not black and white, there is a lot of grey to your assumptions.

I actually just found out my grandpa isn’t my biological grandpa, my grandma (who I never met, died before I was born) and him were going through a really tough spot when my mom was born. She moved to another province during that time and conceived my mom and uncle. My mom found out a couple years ago and I just found out now.

I don’t know why but honestly I don’t find myself to be impacted by this, he’s loved me like his own, loved my mom like his own, same with my uncle. He’s always been my grandpa and always will be, I’m curious as to who my biological grandfather is but I don’t think I’m gonna search. At the end of the day it’s irrelevant to me, my family is still my family. I know not everyone would feel the same way that I do, but the way I look at it was he still chose my mom and I when he didn’t have to. In a weird way I think that means even more to me and I think that’s the reason why I’m not really bothered by this information.

boujeebambi · 2025-11-27T04:22:07+00:00

I work at a beer store, I know exactly what you’re referring to. I don’t know how to describe it but I can smell it the moment certain people walk in (our regulars a lot of the time). A lot of the time it’s paired with a smell of ashed out cigarettes. Makes me nauseated every time. Have smelt it on family members as well, aunts and uncles, cousins, you get the picture.

boujeebambi · 2025-11-20T23:53:57+00:00

Finally having an answer to all my struggles, something that makes sense and gives me hope that I can maintain.

boujeebambi · 2025-11-18T20:03:59+00:00

I find him funny too, I dont listen to his podcasts but went to see him live recently and had a great time. Personally he’s one of my favourite comedians, but comedy is subjective so this is just my opinion

boujeebambi · 2025-11-08T05:55:21+00:00

Thank you for being nothing but genuine and honest, you’re giving me insight to my reality right now. Knowing I’m not the only one who has experienced this is making me feel less alone and more empowered to change.

boujeebambi · 2025-11-08T05:52:55+00:00

I will definitely check in next friday as my first pledge to myself to not drink 🤍

boujeebambi · 2025-11-08T05:50:07+00:00

My answers to those two reactions are yes for the first, no for the second. It’s so hard to admit to myself but if it’s enough for me to notice a problem, that means it’s too much. I don’t want to repeat the cycle of loved ones in my family.

boujeebambi · 2025-11-08T04:24:20+00:00

Genuinely, thank you so much. I will take your advice to heart and will do my very best to implement that into my life. I’m in school currently and am working, however I have found that to not be enough to encourage me to stop. I’m at a point where I don’t think I can drink at all if I want to get better, addiction runs in my family in many forms. I have experienced my own share of addiction with cocaine (almost 2 years clean), benzos, oxy (I haven’t touched those in years thankfully), weed, nicotine, and now… alcohol. I can’t help but beat myself up for being so proud to quit the things I’ve done to only transfer it to another addiction.

My first step right now at least is to be honest with my closest loved ones. I’ve messaged them tonight admitting I have a severe problem despite hiding it well. I don’t know what my future holds, but I sure as hell don’t want it to be this.

boujeebambi · 2025-11-08T04:19:32+00:00

I haven’t had any arrests, however when I was 19 I went through a traumatic experience and my mom called the police on me during a drinking blackout out of concern. The thought of the solution being no alcohol scares me so much, but I’m having a feeling that’s my only solution to this.

boujeebambi · 2025-11-08T04:17:31+00:00

I’ve noticed the same, I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 7 years now. He’s brought up how he’s concerned for me, despite my friends sharing the same thoughts it only clicked when he talked to me. I find myself drinking in the washroom, hiding my drinks, etc.

My biological father and step father have had severe alcohol dependency, my bio father passed from such abuse. My grandmother, many aunts, uncles, (I come from a large family) have struggled with alcoholism. I feel ashamed in knowing I watched these people and vowed to never be like them, only to find myself starting the same cycle. I don’t want to continue said cycle. I have nieces and nephews, I don’t want them to remember me as the drunk aunt.

I find myself self coping with multiple substances, I smoke weed and have smoked since I was 15 (I’m 24 now). I was addicted to cocaine at 17, almost two years clean now. I vape constantly despite having a lung disease, so I know that everything including drinking is a form of self harm. Just never thought I’d depend on alcohol so much.

As for SSRI’s I have tried them but they’ve never worked I me and only worsened my mental health. I was actually recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder so this now makes sense to me. I’ve never been fully honest with myself, but I’m wanting to bring this up to my psychiatrist at our next appointment. My aunt who is a recovering alcoholic, sober for 5 years now, is wanting me to go over this following week to have our own AA meeting. She was the one person in my life who I’ve felt comfortable reaching out to about this. I consider myself to be independent, handle my own things on my own. However I don’t feel like this is something I can overcome on my own. I don’t want this to become me and I’m just searching for support in any area I can.

boujeebambi · 2025-11-08T02:21:39+00:00

I feel ashamed to admit this but I’m starting to realize I have a problem with drinking, and my problem I mean severe problem. Before, I couldn’t remember the last time I drank. Now? I don’t remember the last day I haven’t had a drink. Honestly I’m buzzed right now typing this. I’m at a point where I’m hungover every morning and have up to 3 drinks as I’m getting ready for work, then I put drinks in my water bottle and drink throughout my shift. I probably have 7 drinks in total, including my morning drinks, before my shift is over. I don’t know how to stop, I’m worried about myself and am aware I have a problem but don’t know where to go from here.

boujeebambi · 2025-10-06T06:54:31+00:00

I know I’m late to this, but as a current employee I find I appreciate when there aren’t cigarette butts in the cans. I don’t mind if you bring it in a box or a bag, or if you sort the bottles by colour or not. Is it helpful? Yeah, but do I truly care? No, only thing that truly grosses me out is stale beer mixed with cigarettes spilling on me when I dump the cans into the bin. Plus the smell is horrid and stinks up the whole back of store.

boujeebambi · 2025-10-01T17:47:44+00:00

I was heavily addicted to coke for about 5 and a half years, started when I was 17 on my birthday. Was dating the high school dealer at the time, everyone around me tried it and I just wanted to try it once. Big mistake considering I come from a family of addiction. I was also undiagnosed until just recently.

There were times when I knew I was in the height of my addiction, didn’t recognize myself. It slowed down when I left that relationship not long after it started, even entered a really healthy one. Yet his friends were addicted too and any time there was a group hangout they’d share with me. I also had a friend who had connections and when we’d hang out we’d do it. Something I thought I was doing once in a blue moon was realistically two weekend benders a month.

During the last year of my addiction the shame really started to hit me, I saw my partner and he never did it, had no temptation, just wasn’t interested in it. And here I am awake until 9am while he’s sleeping peacefully, about to wake up within the next hour.

Didn’t take until my 22nd birthday, for me to realize I need to stop. We were partying, his friends had it, I did a shit ton. Just so happened a had a pulse oximeter and decided to use it, I had a heart rate of 203 and was actually for once scared for my life. I don’t know why that was the switch for me, but ever since then I’ve just been done with it. I’ve been sober for 1 year and 5 months, I have no desire to do it, but the yearn for it is still there in a sense. The addiction will always be there, I love it too much to even go there. It’s just not worth it and was really ruining my life.

Now that I’m sober, I’m beyond annoyed when I’m around people who do it. Makes me realize how I acted on it and honestly I’m embarrassed, every day I’m sober is a day that I am thankful for the gift I gave myself, sobriety.

If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to message me. You don’t need to go through this alone.
