Celia, Ok, let's see if I get this straight. Your comment about you being an "ethical person" makes me ask. Is stealing drugs ethical? I reread your story. First, you are a very talented, eloquent write. Second, you were a nurse and that is not an easy degree. However, it seems to me that your life took a downward spiral and according to court documents you admitted you stole the drugs (in your plea) and they were discovered hidden inside your parka. Now homelessness etc. has been an issue. Instead of a redemption story where you learned your lesson and turned your life around, you show no remorse, complete lack of accountability in this crime, make endless excuses and blame others. To me, this shows that you didn't learn from your mistake, and to this day you are compounding it by severe denial, blame, bitterness and excuses. The drugs you stole weren't for PTSD - they were oxy's, and all very addictive pain meds with high street value. Assuredly NOT PTSD. So I question your story.
