This is embarassing, but here goes. I live with my mother and father. I am 32 yrs old. I was in a car wreck 16 years ago. A life altering car wreck. I am now on disability. I have to get a job within a year because my disability is more than likely gonna end. I smoke reefer and failed a drug test. My parents took my car away. The drug test that I failed was for a job at Walgreens. I have a college degree, and that hinders me from finding a job because it is not a specialized degree. I have quit smoking pot for about a week and now am just waiting for another chance to get a job. My father is still angry and I wanna know what I should do?

Well, I think the most important things is to not start smoking pot again, that way you can prove to everyone that you are really trying to change your life around and get a good job.
Also, I think you should try to find out what you are really passionate about and try to get a job doing that, that way you are more likely to try even harder to get it.
As for your father, just apologize again. Say it was a one time thing and that everyone makes mistakes. Try applying for some more jobs and show that you are serious in getting your life back on track. He'll come around soon if he sees that you're actually trying to do the right things.
Good luck!!

How do you know that you are going to get kicked off of disability.
Isn't it up to your treating doctor to make that decision.
Talk to your doctor and see what he can do as far as extending your disability until you have time to find a serious job. A job at walgreens is not going to provide you with the insurance that you need to continue to with your treatment for your life altering condition, so maybe this was a blessing in disguise that you were not hired there.
Cut your dad a break. I am sure he loves you and does not understand what a struggle it is for you to be in the situation that you are in. He is probably thinking about his own mortality and wants to leave this world knowing that you can take care of yourself by yourself.
Tell your dad that you love him and that you did what you did because you were scared/depresessed at the thought of letting him down but that from this point forward you will try to express your emotions in a more healthy way.
he loves you so eventually he will come around
GOOD LUCK
