I have no real answers for you, but I was given a chance last September by a local hospital after being suspended for noncompliance with monitoring. I relapsed nearly a year ago and I am working a program of recovery again. My RN License was reinstated last week. I am a single mother of 6 and I work at McDonald's and a film developing plant. I replied to your post to encourage you to hang in there and know that it could be worse. You are licensed and as long as you remain clean/sober...you live to fight another day

I can completely relate to your situation and your circumstances...I share a similar story...it saddens me when I see posts and replies that are Judgemental and downright insensitive...suggestions and advice are often shared by those with no real experience...reading about and studying addiction and behaviors are completely different than living it...I have been an RN in recovery for two years...it is possible to get up...dust yourself off and use your experience to benefit someone else...but first you must admit that you have a problem...don't be defeated...this can be a tool to strengthen you.
