That is such a bummer about them using 2018 taxes and not 2019 to make a determination on the "stimulus." I don't have anything great to say about the entire way our government has handled this...
That's good to know, thank you! SMART Recovery also has an online Medical and Mental Health Professional (MMHP) Meeting that is restricted access for people who are licensed and does give...
Exactly. They must recommend and require it because they've never attended a meeting, or because they know it's just a great punishment. My "sponsor" told me yesterday she goes to 9 meetings a WEEK!...
I would not under any circumstance drop out if I were you. They will come after your LPN license, and trust me they will find it and any other license you might think they don't know about. They are...
I did a PSA post about this. There are a few options that I am aware of. Here’s the link to my post: (Overview: online AA at Lionrock Recovery, Online AA/NA at InTheRooms, Online SMART Recovery....

First of all, I feel for you. I really do. I’m pre-licensure and got in trouble when I graduate my ABSN program. The *only* thing that honestly made me feel better was talking to a nurse attorney (I...
I’ve got to agree. I have a few friends that I met in AA, but outside of that I really detest their program (and so do my friends LOL). And their supposedly Christian in origin program was created...

You make a great point. They swiftly punish and then put off releasing people at the first opportunity. Your frustration is complete warranted and I always think there is value is someone telling you...
Nooooooo, do not tell them the truth. Absolutely not. Honesty will be used against you at every turn. Never admit you used to cope with something. Contact a lawyer immediately.

It doesn’t surprise me a bit, all except the sentence about addiction, depression, and PTSD killing loads of people a year. Like, Duh. What’s their point? As I see it, it’s a way to make...
I’m SO relieved that you got it back! That’s the most important piece of information here that will be live altering in a positive way. Unfortunately it does not come as a shock that they are...
Lionrock Recovery: online AA meetings with free verifications https://www.lionrockrecovery.com/online-aa-meetings-and-support-groups (I am a SMART online meeting facilitator & highly recommend our...
I don’t trust anybody who says any organization is immune to litigation. That’s not even true for cops! I know in my state a few years ago a lawsuit was brought against the monitoring agreement in...
I’m not from your state but think the very minimum would be a 3 year contract, and I believe most states have a maximum of 5 year contract which can get extended if you relapse or have any issues...
Oh my goodness, big hugs to you! This sound so incredibly distressing. I am saying a prayer right this minute for you ... You’ve been through a lot with the loss of your dad and caregiving for him,...
I’m in MI too, about to start my tango with this lovely program due to a DUI as well. Best advice you will ever hear: lawyer up. Check out the TAANA.org website to find a nurse attorney who has...
What a NIGHTMARE. Everybody’s worst fear. I am praying super fiercely for you tonight. I just want to say, I KNOW it had to have been incredibly difficult and humbling for you to have to go back to...

I’m so happy for you! That’s really good news! I’m sure you won’t screw it up but I’m going to pray for you that it all comes together and you can finally find some peace and
Good advice here. I submit to UDS twice a week & am unable to test in the morning and provide first void, so I’ve had to formulate a game plan to avoid a dilute urine. In sobriety court, a...
K. Everly replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery
I’m so sorry. This is really hard, you have very valid feelings, and you most certainly deserve to vent about it. I’ve not even entered into monitoring yet, but I am in sobriety court (BSN but...
That seems unlikely. As a person in alcohol recovery, I was thinking of a parallel I might draw to show the apparent conflict of interest. It would seem unprofessional for a nurse in alcohol rehab...
