Completion process

Oogie · May 6, 2014

For me it was quite lackluster, no balloons, no party. As my completion date neared I emailed my case manager. She emailed back stating "Yes, your completion date is nearing I'll review your case when the time comes". Well my date came and passed, I let a few more days go by and inquired again, Just emailed that she was reviewing my case, Keep logging in, Keep giving samples if needed, about 2 weeks later. I got an email saying I had met the requirements for completion and a letter was in the mail. Keep loggin in, and giving samples if asked. I stayed with recovery trek at least 3 more weeks, you are not done until Recovery Trek will not let you log into their system, It was Very frustrating.. No party.. no balloons.. but I was done and felt great. Keep on trek'n baby your almost there! Peace

Did you have to submit any paperwork? Did they make you write a relapse prevention plan? Thank you for responding

Nope, done was done, as soon as recovery trek would not let me log in, done, I did go out into the backyard dance around alittle bit and bark at the moon. But, that was just me. Peace

You will get there before you know it. I actually have anxiety about finishing. Lol

You deserve a party, balloons, parade, filet mignon, warm puppies... So happy for you! I wish I had your courage. Good luck.

Almost 3 years ago I was picked up by DEA for diverting from work. I faced charges, was fired and physically and emotionally a mess. I put my family through hell. I was blessed. The DA did not choose to prosecute, but I literally went to a psychiatric facility to detox in handcuffs. I wrote to the board of nursing begging for tpapn. Again I was blessed. They gave me another chance. I worked retail while they completed their investigation. I cried nearly everyday at the thought of possibly losing my license. Today I am so greatful for second chances. My prayers go out to each of you that are struggling. I just want you to know that there is hope and recovery. That these things are possible. That you are worth it.

Txrn, congratulations and you have so much to offer! I am greatful for your existence! I am at the point now where I (most of the time) wouldn't change a thing about my past because the thought or being able to be there for someone when they walk through those doors is incredibly freeing. I couldn't find a nurse who had gone through what I went through, save for this website, and it was overwhelmingly isolating. Wouldn't it be great to be able to go back in time and tell yourself "keep breathing, in about a week a miracle is going to happen and it's going to be okay. Your family loves you, your soon to be sponsor and aa friends are waiting just around the corner, and that board investigator your worrying so much about is going to suprise you by how normal this whole process is and isn't going to slam you with the book". Wouldn't that be great?? I am so glad you keep coming back here, it's more healing for us than you know!
