What has ACTUALLY happened to you verses what are you worried about possibly happening to you?

It's easy to get caught up in our fears of "what might happen" & allow it to paralyze our lives instead of putting it behind us & really life life & work on what got us into that place in the first place so that it won't happen again.

I've been there & had many experiences with actually having OD'ed & been taken to the hospital. I know that it's NOT a police record that happens from those kinds of situations. The hold that comes from something like that doesn't go down as a police record. In reality, an employer couldn't get the records of yours unless you give them a release to get them.

A year after that has happened is long enough for you to know exactly what will come of it. Unless somewhere along the road of your life that you need to go after a "top secret" clearance for a job, I highly doubt that any thing from that experience would or could ever come back to haunt you if it hasn't bothered you by this point.

Know it's hard to assure someone who is so sure that something bad will happen, but that's the time that you need to assess how your fears are really effecting you & stopping to focus on the facts & sometimes all we can do is deal with something farther down our life if it were to ever arise, but NOT live in fear of having the shoe slam down on you because that fear will only end up magnifying & you will end up completely paralyzed.
