Recovery

I just had to make the biggest decision of my life. I finally became a doctor in pediatrics.
I hate it. There is no helping people, every decision is made on legal matters and not the health of people. My chairman hates people in recovery, and more.
The worst part of it was I just knew I would not be able to keep sober. I’m in residency, and we work non stop, at lunch, work at home. Struggle to fit food or sleep in anywhere. The worst part is that the only reason I wasn’t drinking every night was no time. But I know myself and my disease; it’s a matter of weeks before I start making time….
But I went against all advice and left being a doctor. Back home in md. Grown man living with his parents and using my ol hoopdie car. I enrolled in grad school to become a mental health herapust in addictions. Money won’t be as great, but I won’t wake up each morning with “fuuuuuck!”!!!
