IPN intake, about being honest

Hi, I'm moving from NC to FL. In NC, I'm enrolled in a non-disciplinary, voluntary program after I diverted. I approached IPN independent of applying for a FL license and IPN took a statement from me weeks ago as part of my intake.

I was was advised by my previous attorney not to disclose any prior diversion since I was only being charged with one count. I actually diverted for three years at two previous hospitals in another state but didn't tell that to the NC program. Upon intake with IPN, I told them exactly what I told NC, leaving out my prior use as advised by my then-attorney.

I have since retained anothervattoryney who was who was able to get my case dismissed and file for expungement. With my legal issues behind me, I would like to approach IPN and tell them I had this prior use. Of note, I still live in NC and am not under contract with IPN until I move.

I feel like like I got bad advice from my previous attorney and want to start in FL being completely honest. Nothing that I told IPN at intake wasn't true, I just left out three years of drug use prior to enrollment in the NC program.

Should I tell IPN everything before I go under contract or should I keep my mouth shut? My recovery program demands rigorous honesty but I don't want to hurt myself in the process.

There is definitely something to be said for "Rigorous honesty in all our affairs" it is the cornerstone of healthy recovery . It is unlikely this disclosure would change your contract except that ding so now would indicate that you lied during previous legal proceedings which may affect you legally. Fro what I understand Florida uses the same type of one size fits all program that other states use. Unless not telling cause you to feel as if you might relapse I would likely keep this information to myself. You will be in a program either way.
