Good for you for coming back! Can you possibly imagine what would happen if you get caught drunk and drugged at school? That would be the end of your career as a teacher.
Hang in there it will take time. What do I know, its only been 15 days for me...but so far it is way better. You've been to that bad place and you know it is NOT a better place.
