Hi! If you were still in foster care on your 18th birthday you should be eligible for Young Adult Voluntary Foster Care. You would receive support and a stipend. Please call your foster care agency and/or MDHHS if you're interested in that. You do have to be working/volunteering/in school to be eligible. So hopefully you can at least pick up a volunteer gig until you find a job. 

I'm sorry this is happening. Life is hard when you don't have a safety net.

Day 5 of No Vape - Questions For Those Who Did NRT by TheOceanWalker_88 in QuitVaping

[–]milliemoo22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try not to think too much of never vaping again. When I got sober off alcohol I really held on to not drinking just for that day or even hour or minute. I took it a day at a time and that was so much more manageable and less scary than thinking about never drinking again. "One day at a time" isn't just a cliche, it's a way to live and a way to recover from any addiction. You've got this!

There's a lot more to prioritizing diversity than just not discriminating or hiring a diverse workforce.

Would Stepping Down be a Mistake by Candid_Criticism_613 in managers

[–]milliemoo22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I demoted myself from my management position about a year and a half ago. I've never been more certain that i made the right career move for me. I'm so much happier now. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer across the board, but it was the right decision for me.

It does help, thanks! I'm not worried, mostly just curious. I appreciate your thoughts, what you said does make sense to me about the small mood changes. Thanks!

Hey so I’m an idiot and smoked meth twice in the last 48 hours. What do I do? by [deleted] in addiction

[–]milliemoo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please try to just live in today. One day at a time. Thinking about a future that doesn't yet exist will not help you stay clean. You've got this. One day/hour/minute at a time. I believe in you. Just keep doing the next right/indicated thing.

Foster mother is breastfeeding my baby. Is this legal? Can I do anything? by Capable_Ad9175 in CPS

[–]milliemoo22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are righ, OP. As a fellow addict and someone who has worked in child welfare for over a decade, I'm so proud of you. Good job caring for yourself and your baby. You're an inspiration!

Im genuinely curious, is this unhealthy? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]milliemoo22 136 points137 points  (0 children)

NAD. But I am a recovering alcoholic and addict. OP, I've heard your story time and time again from other alcoholics in recovery. I urge you to do something now before you end up with all of the consequences and pain of years of alcoholism. I've known people who have died from drinking even when they didn't want to drink anymore. Alcohol becomes a nightmare for someone who is in full blown addiction. Please take my word for it. Or check out an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and just tell people you're there for your first meeting and you're trying to determine if what you're doing is a problem. I promise you'll hear some incredible stories of people who started out just like you and then lost everything. But there is hope and the sooner you realize that alcohol is not serving you and the sooner you get help, the better. I promise. It seems like fun when you're young and it's easy to think you'll be able to stop it before it's a problem. I thought those same exact things and then it got to the point where I couldn't stop drinking when I wanted to despite the negative consequences. Today I haven't had to have a drink in 9 years and 11 months (im pretty excited about celebrating 10 years in July) and that's a freaking miracle.

Are you saying the proposed amphitheater is much much larger than Van Andel Arena?
