In this age of increasing headlines about drug addiction and
prescription drug abuse, this book is a timely revelation of how
the nursing profession is also impacted by substance abuse. It
allows nurses, who are the most trusted profession in society, who
have been hidden within their profession and living with substance
use disorders, to openly voice their personal experiences with
addiction. Seven nurses detail their journey through family
dynamics, early use as nursing students and later career nurses as
they traveled deeper and deeper into their addiction. They discuss
their shame, humiliation and dejection under the throes of the
compelling forces of drugs and alcohol. They also describe how
their family, other nurses, the healthcare system, and society
assisted them in perpetuating their deception and denial about
their disease. They explain how they lied, stole and cheated those
around them to maintain their addiction. Each explains in detail
the confrontations and the "jolt" and "wake up call" it took for
them to awaken, become sober and truly enter recovery. They are all
candid and forthright in order to help others that are impacted by
this horrific and complex disease. They each share how recovery is
possible when appropriate attitudes and tools are put in place to
support nurses suffering from the devastation of addiction. Their
stories bring attention to the importance of intervention,
treatment, and recovery communities within the nursing profession.
Recovery is emphasized as a "gift" by each of these nurses. The
nurses and the researcher provide suggestions and recommendations
to assist the healthcare community in addressing addiction in
nursing. This book reveals how recovery for nurses is a major
public health benefit.
