Stealing
I was a nurse in a hospice facility. I also had an incredibly bad drug habit and stole pain meds from the patients for about 5 years. I would do incredibly awful, deceptive things like replace a dilaudid with a vitamin C tablet or inject saline into an IV in place of morphine. My peers probably suspected but never spoke up. Eventually, I left the profession voluntarily and got sober but I still feel an incredible sense of guilt. To this day, I won’t tell anyone about my former profession, like those years just did’nt happen.
