  4. Yippie!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

  11. IPN failed Drug Test

    Twoyearnurse replied to YF2690's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I honestly can't answer your question. It's often difficult to understand what someone is telling you when youre upset. I would start writing down questions so you can ask her next time you call and...

    Twoyearnurse replied to YF2690's topic in Nurses Recovery

  15. Meetings?

    Twoyearnurse replied to 1sttime's topic in Nurses Recovery

  17. Relapse

    Twoyearnurse replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My guess would be an overwhelming feeling of "I've done so good, I've worked hard, I will drink just one more time because I deserve to destress and I won't drink ever again". At least that was my...

    Twoyearnurse replied to lemitt's topic in Nurses Recovery
