Txrn, congratulations and you have so much to offer! I am greatful for your existence! I am at the point now where I (most of the time) wouldn't change a thing about my past because the thought or...
Oh and sebsnrn, I am so happy for your family and congratulations to your dad! That type of long term sobriety is always amazing, your poppa is a strong man, and you a strong girl?
Good morning scatter pearl...diverting means moving something that is intended to be in one place to another place. The term is broad and covers many areas. It can mean doing what I did (I.e. stealing...

Great job give me serenity! I truly believe fear is what drives most of us here, in so far as we let it! There is nothing to be sorry for. If I did not have the strong support of my family and AA I...
Man oh man. I would never wish the pain of addiction on anyone. I remember that constant terror, life becomes so so small. There is no amount of morality that can save someone from that pain. It's...
Oh, and awesome job on not seeking a nursing job while you can. At least from my experience, the BON is none to thrilled with nurses doing that. When he asked me the question "are you currently...
Welcome and congratulations on your sobriety! I am in alaska and we do not have an alternative program. You always have the option to self report to speed up the process, if you have an alternative to...
Good morning all. Here I sit almost 7 months clean, and almost 90 days clean AND sober. So much has changed for me, I'm starting at a plant nursery this week and am do excited. When I told my parents...
Thank you for updating, it's always great to have people come back and share. This is a life long journey and there is something special about hearing these things from another nurse who understands....

To be fair...Ewings sarcoma is caused by translocation between chromosomes, I'm sure that is what the OP initially was talking about- its genetic. Anywho, best of luck to the OP. Maybe let's all get...

Early sobriety...wow. Each day is learning something new. What I have experienced thus far in my 78 days sober is that my brain has the inner workings of a goldfish. Have you heard that a goldfish's...

There is nothing fascinating about our situations...nor does addiction have anything to do with morals or a moral failing. Our licenses mean just as much to us as it does to you, that I can strongly...

You could always call the BON anonymously and ask this question. Generally speaking, we share our stories as one addict/alcoholic relating to another, but you are more than welcome to browse through...
Oh earth mamma! Thank you for saying that, I've also had a friend who applied to the same place on three separate occasions and finally got hired there. I think it's so important for us to understand...

This made me think of my favorite verse in the bible relating to forgiving oneself as a necessary step towards helping others forgive themselves. Basically about being a guiding light for others in...

Hey sweet pea! Long time no talk (I kid, I kid ). You don't have to feel anything about your 30 days. When I reached mine (both times!) I felt like "yeah big deal but I shouldn't have gotten myself...

My heart goes out to you....and wow you just made my problems feel highly manageable. I honestly don't had advice on how to face the board on this. My best guess would be that you will need a doctors...
