What's messed up is I remember the exact moment I caved. I had worked at this car dealership for 2 years. I had worked my ass off into a manager position and I was making decent money. My natural personality consists mostly of bubbles and rainbows so I tend to create kind of a family at any place I work. I worked for a company that was contracted to this dealership and it could get a little "them" and "us" at times. I could never understand why my company's owners felt that was as I had gotten really close to the staff I worked directly with. However, there was this one guy. He was married and had 7 fucking children but he was wicked creepy. I had 2 employees, both young girls (20 and 22 at the time), who I viewed as little sisters. I watched this man constantly creep on them and make them uncomfortable. One day, I confronted him. I had done so as professionally and delicately as I could. His response was to make life hell for all 3 of us. So my girls, unbeknownst to me, wrote statements on him. The dealerships management spoke to me about it, and I backed my girls up because IT WAS ALL FUCKING TRUE. The response was to claim I was lying and that I had pressured the girls to write false statements (even though I didn't) and I was fired as a result. I ended up alone at my house feeling horribly and unjustly treated. I had been clean for about 2.5 years at that point. I had recently learned of a guy that could regularly get pills and I was so low, it was all I could think about. So I tried to call people and I even had people come over and try to talk me through it but I ended up relapsing anyway. And then it took off from there.
