I know several people who work in health care in New York because they use marijuana for pain. They were never tested for it, one is a physician and 2 are nurses and they are spread out all over New...
I'd definitely ask a lawyer who to pick for the next evaluation. You're absolutely correct, it's not fair. You don't need AA. it's really the easiest part. Log onto zoom and cook, Those are free and...
There was someone who only got one month for a drinking and driving incident and he or she was from Michigan. They posted somewhere here. Maybe find thr post and message
It's possible that because your evaluator suggested therapy they said 3x a week. Their therapists psychiatrists and addiction doctors are all independent contractors in my experience they are all...
3 years is insane. I don't have a sud, no legal issues yet here I am. I'm not the only one. AA zoom is the easiest part of it. It all depends on how much your license means to you. If I could...
