Cats I would love to give you a simple answer of when I’m done but I’m in pnap and just don’t know to the day. However. Next March 15th my case manager can ask the board to open The creaky gates of hell and let this bat fly out. So about 300 days I guess? Anyway for the longest time I have followed your countdown as when you are done I’m very close. Hang in there feline friend the light at the end of the tunnel is indeed bright for you!!!!

Not at all Hppy. I still try to follow the goings on but I’m trying to adjust to my new role as an np. I was an ER Nurse for a long, long time. I’m a cardiology np now. Whole different kettle of fish but life is coming into focus. Honestly this pnap garbage plays less of a role in my life now. The hard stuff is all done and I just gotta stay sober for 10 more months which I can do standing on my head. I still have to attend the hated 12 step meetings but I sit in the back and play on my phone and do the pee test but no more “treatment” or not being able to earn a living. I just gotta bide my time

Nice to hear/see you back on these forums.

Congrats to everyone who is nearing the end. And to you, Spanked, as you embark on a new chapter in your career.

Congratulations!! My longtime buddy became a NP in GI. She said it was kind of refreshing to write the order for an enema and not have to carry out the order for the enema. Hang in there.

Congrats Cats!

118 days here for me. Looking forward to hitting the double-digit mark in a couple weeks myself.

We just gotta hang in there!

Congratulations!!! That is awesome! Must feel real good. I am afraid to ask when my contract. Is up. The less contact the better.

I generally agree that less is better in regards to contact, however there’s a date on mine and I WILL hold them to it. I was naive enough to get sucked into this sick excuse for help but I will not stay in it for a second longer than I am legally required to.
