Drug Rehabilitation that works

Question by chibigenesis: Are you required to notify all current or future employers if you’ve been in drug rehab?
If you’ve been in a drug rehabilitation program, and successfully completed it, do you have to notify any potential employers? Do you have to notify a current employer if you’re going into a rehab program?

I assume the laws are differen in every state, but specifically in Illinois or california? If anyone knows a website that would tell me all this i’d really appreciate it.

My grandpa died when I was 20. I talked to him for two hours on the phone the day he died. He was my best friend, and my youngest aunt said his last words were “get Jason he can help”. I’ve never met my father, and I hear he is a piece of work. I called my grandmother on that side of the family and she told me she is an 80 year old blind woman and wanted to be left alone.

I do love my grandmother on my mom’s side, and my real mom died 5 years ago. I was adopted by my oldest aunt. So I know a lot about loss. I’m just wondering how people feel about losing most of their family before they are even 32? I turn 32 next week.

I think of historical figures like George Washington who was given an estate at the young age of 17 because both his father and uncle died in their 40′s. I’m sure he was a strong person that was able to lead not only his family, but troops, and eventually go against the greatest empire.

What are your thoughts on loss? I think the most inspirational book I read on this topic was ‘Why Bad Things Happen to Good People’ by Harold S. Kushner. But sometimes I feel little solace anyway. I wrote my grandma a letter last week that she read. My meth addicted uncle won’t let me visit her because he calls the cops since I turned him in for abusing her. And she supported him because that is her way when the department of aging came to check on her.

How do you deal with loss?

I smoked crystal meth for about a year and a half but have stopped, for about 8 months now. While on it I would often have shortness of breath and I’m still having that now. I feel like I can’t take in a deep breath and I was wondering if this has happend to anyone else
