Sorry to hear about that. It's painful continuing to get rejected after investing time and effort into a companies recruitment process.

I've typically had pretty good success landing jobs and a lot of the time, it doesn't come down to the technical skills, but what I like to call 'the vibe check'.

Obviously, having the right experience is important, but I typically focus on a few things that might be missed:

- Analysing the business and understanding their brand and culture so you can speak their language during the interview - Showing interest in their broader business goals - When explaining technical challenges you've faced, describing how you took those learnings away and applied them to a problem you faced in the future

Not hard tips, but after doing this I definitely got more job offers.

(p.s. If the resume is lacking, just pay a professional to make one for you).

Building individualised systems against unhealthy social philosophies.

Although my situation isn't too comparable aside from the drug itself, quitting for me was a 7 year saga. I think the isolation may actually have some benefits when it comes to quitting, for I struggled greatly with people around who also smoked. I had to reestablish and redfine alot of my friend relationships due to a lack of disipline of being around them and not partaking. Finding activities that are not heighted/more fun while high was useful to me. Since weed was and still is mostly illegal in australia, i made the most progress when I pursued getting a girlfriend. Luckily for me, i'm attracted to fairly straight laced women, so being high/talking about getting high was not condusive to that pursuit. Exercise and sleep are big ones, since for mt they seemed to go hand in hand for the progress of the other and making you less irritable and thus more unlikely likely to seek pain numbing. Like others have mentioned here, get it out of the house, if you require a card to get it (for auth), slice it and dice it. Best of luck!
