As someone who's dealt with a plethora of addictions, I completely understand stress leading to shitty decisions like self-medication. But like I said, it's like if my AA meetings were ran by someone who was actually shitfaced. If you get so stressed out so easily that you resort to slowly killing yourself, you're in the wrong profession. Go work in a spa or something. Like, I get why people would want to be a nurse, it's very honorable, but sometimes you're just not cut out for the job you dream for. Sometimes fate just likes to punch you in the balls like that and ruin your dreams and you've just got to deal with it and have different dreams if you want fate to be on your side the next time things go to shit.
