Hi anew, l'm also a RN who now works in the alcohol unit l was once a patient in!! and l absolutely love it.
l don't think alcoholism discriminates and no-one is above being caught in it's deadly grip including nurses. For me to have been given the wonderful opportunity to work in the field l have "inside" knowledge of has been one of the best things to have happened in my life. All the staff have been fantastic and no-one doubts my dedication to my recovery or worries l will relapse.
Though no-one can go back and make a new start,
anyone can start from today and make a new ending.
Carl Bard.
