In the state of nevada. I abused meth for many years before getting clean in august 19th 2005. I continued drinking alcohol only on rare occurrences. Didn't really knowing or understand about the dual addiction . Never really considered I might have a drinking problem. Decided to go back to school when I was 28. Totally reinvented myself and passed nursing school and nclex with flying colors. When I filled out my questionnaire I was honest about drug use and also had a DUI when I was 18 an open container at 21. Made a lot of mistakes but I was young and dumb. Went before the board and was totally honest about my life experiences. Needless to say I was crucified. I received a 3 yr monitoring program that includes zero abstinence from alcohol. I've had a few dilute urines which I think flagged the board. My dilute urines were 100 percent not related to me trying to cover anything up. I breast feed and drink a lot of water so I didn't. Dry up. On this particular occasion I was out of town, had no child with me and decided to have 2 beers. The next day I was called to test. The board called me informing me they were revoking my license for 2 drinks.

Was just informed I tested positive for alcohol. I knew I was as I relapsed in February. They took my license. Go before the board in September. Anyone know what I should expect.
