new to site working on getting license back after surrender NEED ADVICE

[NIKALEA]

Hello,

im new to the site and in need of some advice and reassurance. My story goes a little something like this... I obtained my lvn license in 01 and went through a dental procedure and became addicted to pain killers. I was working for a docters office and was caught calling in prescriptions to pharmacies. I also was written up for coming to work groggy from taking too many prozac. Then i walked out on them one day when they were understaffed, after being refused any help. They reported me to the tx bon, i surrendered my license and the board told me that i could petition after one year, and 12 months verifiable sobriety. This was in 06, i had given up fell into a deep depression, and called it quits. My kids and husband helped me to regain my confidence and i just started taking monthly drug test in january of this year, i also completed an outpatient 21 day treatment program with a facility called brentwood. Now that my 12 months of testing is coming to an end i decided to start researching others experiences, and i must say im really discouraged now. I read that the board will probably say my test arent sufficient, enforce polygraphs and pyc evals and lawyers and all types of things. I would like to hear from someone with some knowledge of this type of situation. Can anyone help me and let me know what to expect, or what else i can do to better my chances of regaining my license?

Thanks
