Here's great advice from FlexJobs about choosing to share your truth during job interviews after addiction recovery.  

With days, months or even years of hard-earned sobriety under your belt, you’ve grown through your addiction recovery and might want to shout your progress from the rooftops. But how do you approach job interviews and the job search process?

This could come in the form of a flexible work situation that gives you the freedom to continue prioritizing sobriety while pursuing your next steps.

Disclosure can be a thorny issue, but ultimately you’re in control of what you do or don’t reveal. Reflecting back on your journey doubtless stirs strong emotions, but your decisions about what (if anything) to share, when, and how much should be objective.

Choosing to share your truth during job interviews after addiction recovery could have consequences, both positive and negative. Setting your intention ahead of an interview and sticking to the plan puts you in the driver’s seat.
