I am doing the reinstatement paperwork now. I just got back from a meeting on Gratitude. We have got to keep it real simple. My first step is get the stuff done and show them I am ready to do whatever it takes. I am never going to give up before the miracle again. I want to move to another state but VA knows me, Georgia does not. Does anyone out there know anything about the Georgia Bd of Nursing? We are pretty lucky in VA. The monitoring program is very organized and run by great people. I do not want to get ahead of myself, just wondering.

Thank you! There is nothing better than a little bit of affirmation. It is a wonderful thing reaching out to others when you cannot get to a meeting. I have been paralyzed by fear and indecision. Thank God things have changed in the medical profession. A while back a nurse told me her father was a physician in the military back in World War 2. He saw much trauma and then he himself became addicted but took his life because of the shame he carried because "that sort of thing does not happen to those with the responsibility of being a healer". He felt all alone. But I am not, and you are right, I can find a job if I just keep on looking and doing the next right thing for myself and my recovery. I will keep communicating as I go, because I know it will keep me accountable.

Referring to VA HPMP I dropped out due to finances, unable to find employment, and probably depression. I have gotten over myself and am applying for reinstatement. It has been almost 2yrs and I want to sign back up with HPMP, getting ready to send reinstatement package. I will send all recovery stuff. I am hoping this will not be big horrible process. I am real sorry I gave up but could not pay for tests, no job it was stupid I know. Any feedback I appreciate. Sitting on sofa eating ice cream gets old.lol
