I had to fix more than my addiction

astelter — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 18:11:47 +0000

I am an RN and on October 1, 2010, I was confronted at work for diverting narcotics, I was busted, the productive life I thought I was leading was over, what a relief. When I got home I was devastated, I thought everything I had worked so hard for in life was now over, the next day I called the nursing peer assistance program for impaired nurses in TN, they recommended Cumberland Heights, and so my journey begins, my life changing experience that has helped me become the person I am today, my true self. Soon into my recovery journey, my counselors helped me realize that addiction was not the only problem I had to deal with, I was an enabler, a co dependent that spent most of my life trying to make everyone happy but myself. Of course I thought they were crazy at first, I thought I’m here to beat a drug addiction, why do they care about my personnel life? But as time progressed and I listened to speakers, went to classes and meetings, I learned I was not alone, something I felt for a long time. Although I never physically isolated myself from others, spiritually and mentally I had lost presence many years ago. I will becoming up on 9 months of sobriety, with the help of my spiritual presence hopefully I will get there one day at a time. So much in my life has changed, I see things through a different light, I work in long term care now, I have found my true nursing passion in geriatrics, I would have never found this had I not started my recovery journey, but one of the people places and things I had to change was the type of nursing I was working in, I needed a position where I did not handle narcotics, the temptation would be to great, I am the medicare nurse, although I provide great care, I don’t have to give medications, maybe someday I can take that step as a recovering medical professional, but not now, I know my boundaries. I have also learned to set boundaries with my family, because of this I have a better marriage, my grown sons are making better decisions all because I learned to “let go and let god”, something my sponsor diligently helped work on. My recovery journey has taught me so much, I can’t control the world, I can’t control the people closest to me, “Life on life’s terms” has been a big struggle for me, but I wouldn’t change anything, I love the “new me” and have to thank Cumberland Heights, for guiding me through the beginning of a life changing event.
