Momeekisses, I think that you are doing an amazing and wonderful job staying sober and helping others, namely your patients! You might be at a place in your sobriety where a change is coming....

Welcome. Isn't it wonderful to have a forum like this?? I found that I was asking too many humans for their opinion, when what I really needed to do was find the quiet and pray for the answer. I...

I guess I knew that I should, and I will, but I am so afraid of being judged. Do you disclose your status as an alcoholic on any form that asks the question? Are there any exceptions? Could anyone...
