Mood:  |  It's been a long road... "The joy is in the journey" a former sponsor once told me. I've never forgotten it. Just over two years ago, I had my nursing license taken away for diverting. This was after almost 20 years clean and sober (I got away from meetings). The recovery I have now is "true" recovery...it's real, it's honest and it's a gift. It's a miracle that I'm alive after all the respiratory depressants I injected and took PO. Over the past couple years, I've had my nursing privileges restored in increments and am hoping that this coming Friday 6/12/09, my narcotic privileges are restored. This forum has been wonderful for the past couple years...I've found a lot of insight and support here. And although we may not be in the same State, we're here for the same reason: our drugs and/or ETOH took our choices away; we were in the strangle-hold of addiciction. Recovery gives us the freedom to make choices...isn't it awesome? Peace
