Im so lost...HELP - 2008/01/10 13:01
I am so thrilled to have stumbled upon this site, what a blessing when a blessing was needed. I surrendered my license last March, can reapply this March. I have gone to counseling, and a couple of AA meetings which were more dealer advertisements by folks who were forced to be there. Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. Im still looking though! I signed up for an IOP although Ive been clean from morphine for 8 months. I am just so lost and confused, and I want MY life back!! Then I want my license back. I was working as a paramedic but an coworker from the ER where I worked called my boss, and WHAM I was fired!! No drug screen(woulda been clean), nothing. Destroyed what little bit of self esteem I had managed to regain. The shame and guilt and social stigma is like acid burning me right now. I live in a small community outside of Austin,and its hard not to see someone Ive worked with. The struggle right now is finding a healthcare support group. Substance abuse support groups are hidden here, and I just dont get it. Please help if you know of any. I am so thankful you all are here, atleast someone can understand.
