   mummasheesh replied to momeekisses's topic in Recovery

   Momeekisses, I think that you are doing an amazing and wonderful job staying sober and helping others, namely your patients! You might be at a place in your sobriety where a change is coming. I've hit those places before, where I get complacent ...

2. How to forgive and forget? Also, met with BON today...

   mummasheesh replied to chaotic's topic in Recovery

   ..." i am not and never have been an addict." Did else see the humor in this statement? How about "I am not an alcoholic, but I was once" I dunno', guess it just struck me as a fabulously funny thing for someone to type in a recovery forum. H...

3. Recovery Help

   mummasheesh replied to steelersRN's topic in Recovery

   Steelers RN, Somewhere in the recovery literature it states that we should look at the rest of the world as if they are all to some extent also sick. (This is a horrible paraphrase, sorry!) With that being said, maybe you can put your Nurse Manage...

4. Starting School, Do I disclose my status???

   mummasheesh replied to mummasheesh's topic in Recovery

   Spike, you have a resentment because the disease took your father away from you. My true sympathies for your loss. This disease take and takes and takes. It kills those that we love on a daily basis. The facts are, however, that meetings did not t...

5. Starting School, Do I disclose my status???

   mummasheesh replied to mummasheesh's topic in Recovery

   Thanks, UltraViolet and Sassy, for your heartfelt responses to the INSANE suggestion that meetings are a waste of time and that a hobby could keep us busy and therefore clean and sober. I had to walk away for 24 hours and restrain pen and tongue (and...

6. question about ETOH

   mummasheesh replied to jnks's topic in Recovery

   Sounds like some pretty thick denial "moderating... convincing myself ... consequences". Why not try going to a few AA meetings and listening? Try to identify, not to compare. If you are an alcoholic, you are an alcoholic. (We don't really have "...

   Morning recovering friends. I am amazed and excited about this forum, and thrilled that so much discussion was generated around the question of disclosure to the school on their paperwork for acceptance to clinical rotations. The paper, a Health Qu...

10. I think I could be an Alcoholic.......

    mummasheesh replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in Recovery

    Wow, you're getting some really good feedback here. Getting to a meeting is critical. One thing that I would add, listen with an open mind and try to identify, don't compare. Our bottoms all look different. Hopefully this is yours. God bless an...

11. Starting School, Do I disclose my status???

    mummasheesh replied to mummasheesh's topic in Recovery

    The legal consequences of not disclosing and being found out probably differ from state to state, but here in NH your license will be revoked. It is explained that they (The Nursing Board) feel that it (Not being truthful about past treatment for ad...

12. Starting School, Do I disclose my status???

    mummasheesh replied to mummasheesh's topic in Recovery

    Welcome. Isn't it wonderful to have a forum like this?? I found that I was asking too many humans for their opinion, when what I really needed to do was find the quiet and pray for the answer. I remembered what it was like to live a lie, and have t...

14. Starting School, Do I disclose my status???

    mummasheesh replied to mummasheesh's topic in Recovery

    I guess I knew that I should, and I will, but I am so afraid of being judged. Do you disclose your status as an alcoholic on any form that asks the question? Are there any exceptions? Could anyone out there share their experience? I think I need a...
