i'm a recovering addict, i abused drugs for over twenty years, i,m 40 now, i,ve done a lot of things growing up, i've been arrested several times, but my worst was a aggravated battery, with bodily harm, i was 17 at the time, and i was offered a little time for it and i accepted. that was 23 years ago. i can't work health care unless i get a waiver, but i have other misdemeanor batterys, i have'nt been in any kind of trouble in the last two years. i have so much peace in my life now, and my relationship is better than ever, i'm geeting ready to attend college for a mental health degree in alcohol and drug addictions. i truly believe in god and i know its his grace and mercy that has brought me this far, i have faith but i feel like taking my will back and lying. i've worked lots of jobs, i just could'nt keep them because of my usage. i can't even get a dept. store or warehouse job and i believe its because i tell the truth about my background. i know when they find out you lied, they

fire you,but i know some people who have worked three years, and it caught up with them. i have a good guy who pays the bills, he has two grown kids here and me, we live from payday to payday. i met him 23 years ago and we been back together 8 years to this day he stuck with me through all the hell i took him through, hes 59 years old and i love him, and i want him to be able to enjoy himself and try to save some money for his retirement,but mainly so i can feel like a regular human being in society and at home. i guess i really need reassurance to have more patient and to continue to do the right thing.and another thing is i feel good when i do the right thing, and feel bad when i do the wrong thing.
and i also feel good about myself these days except for being unemployed.

Truth may bring unwelcome consequences in the present....but it will ALWAYS be the correct path to take....some of my greatest growth came from confronting situations truthfully.....it may not always feel good at the time, but you will be stronger (faith) because you chose the path of truth. Trust God for everything. Peace

IF you have really changed, why bring it all up again. Yes, you will be found out occasionally, but in the long run, I probably would ignore a lot about my life. Otherwise, it will take an exceptional employer to hire you. Stick with small companies that do not really do a background check. Good luck

oh i'm sorry. well you shouldn't really ever lie, even if it's hard. Sometimes it's harder for you to tell the truth...trust me I know.
I really don't know how to help you...if they find out you're lying then it will be worse...ya know?
Better just keep telling the truth, and trust in God that he will get you to where you ought to be...okay?
Good luck.

Do what you want, but be prepared to live with the consequences. Haven't you had enough of the negative side yet?
