Nursie is on this site. Might check with her on her actual occupation. Making an assumption here that she is a nurse.

Welcome!

Nurses with a drinking problem

Hello & welcome Jane,

I am retired now but yes, there are a few nurses on this site. It doesn't matter who you are or what your occupation is, AL is a destroyer! I didn't really begin my drinking career until after I left the profession but I was getting close. Of course that made me feel guilty as hell. Looking back now I see that was the beginning of a long period of depression for me, hindsight is 20/20

Bottom line is if you think AL is affecting your life & your job it probably is. Do you really want to wait until something terrible happens & you lose your license? Kicking AL out of my life was the best decision I've ever made, I have no regrets only a sense of gratitude that grows each & every day.

Please drop in the Newbie's Nest thread for ongoing support. Lot's of people are taking back control of their lives & looking forward to happy & healthier futures

Wishing you the best!

Lav

If you haven't read Dr. Olivier Ameisen's book, The End of My Addiction, he chronicles his experiences at a rehab exclusively for medical professionals (including physicians, nurses and pharmacists) mandated to go by their state licensing agencies. I believe the place was in northeastern Pennsylvania and was called Marworth.
