NCBON drug testing

I lost my license for having taken a medication that was legally mine but expired. Was unable to do reinstatement when it happened, because exhusband wouldn't help pay for testing. Now longer married to the.slob, I'm doing random tests. Can you recommend support?

My recommendation is going to family. Being honest what happened. Initially, was gonna keep this from family. Bit the bullet and came to parents as a grown adult. "I'm in a lot of trouble, and I have a problem...." Ended up writing a written contract to pay back over 5 years. I believe these programs are meant to break you down to get you to ask for help. I don't think that was the intention, but ended up that way for me.

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that! You didn't even divert, that seems really harsh! Was it a narcotic? No one ever really tells you you can't take it after it expires. Most people just assume since it was given to you in the first place, the rest doesn't matter. I sure didn't realize that until this program. How long is your contract? I wish you luck!

No, I didn't divert. The DON even sent letter in stating I didn't. I had taken Darvocet. My contract is one year.
