I'm thinking about Hospice care as a career shift. I have devoted the last six months to my recovery, six months today,in fact. I'm celebrating my new lease on life with a new attitude and compassion. Who is hiring and how do I handle my past with them ? I'm ashamed that I was fired secondary to breaking contract to limit my absences.(still very ill at the time). Any advice, please ....

Thank you so much!
The day I finally asked for help, the day of my intervention, God literally screamed in my head "tell her tell her tell her tell her tell her tell her" until i wanted to yell for him to stop. I knew right then i was either making a choice to take that leap of faith to live or i was going to make the choice to keep using and die. i knew it sure as i know i'm sitting here. i think that truly was the first time in my life that i lissned to God. oh sure, He talked to me lots...but that was the first time i really lissned to Him.
I've been lissning ever since too!
I tried getting sober on my own for years and years. I can't do it on my own. Without His love and strength, I have nothing.
He truly did heal me but all it would take for me to be right back in my own hell is to use one time. one pill...one drink and i'm gone. i know that now. I dont have any more "one mores" in me. Thankfully, I'm not alone either. God gave me His love, His strength and His peace and then He surrounded me with people that would help me stay strong and on the right track.
To those that think that we get "cured". keep coming back is all I can say.
