If so, I totally respect the idea of being scrupulously honest with yourself about where your addiction might try to derail you again. On the other hand, as Rachel said, there are lots of ways to be a nurse that have no narc access. And DG, if this is about the shame and stigma of being a nurse with "a past," I would hate to see you let the haters win. It has gotten to the point for me that when someone like The Wad posts, I appreciate the opportunity to brush off foolishness, either by ignoring or if it's really extreme, removing the post. Trolls are not my problem unless I allow them to be, but I digress. Anyway, DG, I hope you clarify what has led to your decision to give up. You are a human being who stumbled just like every other human being does. Like a hiring manager once told me: "Everyone screws up, yours just happened to be public."
