So they knew I was on methadone.

They knew I had massive issues, the inner group within the office, but they tried to protect me through enabling me.

And that probably kept me in addiction for longer.

So that's kind of saved me as well.

I was like, I was the only one in the office that knew the very technical details of certain jobs.

I was quite good at my job.

And then there was a dipso environment within the job as well.

The management team had drink issues as well.

How is he even got a job?
