    skittlebear replied to skittlebear's topic in Addictions

  4. HELP: Must choose Methadone Clinic Job Offer Tomorrow

    skittlebear replied to skittlebear's topic in Addictions

    No, I haven't. The nurse that interviewed me said she needed to get a few things taken care of before I was "officially hired". This has allowed me to bide some extra time. Researching what it would...
