Your right Mike. The best thing to do IS to dose before work, possibly even on the way to work. While I do believe that we (as recovering addicts) should be treated fairly……..I agree that no manager/boss wants to get HR involved. To the OP-even if you were able to go to HR and win a set breaktime for dosing, your supervisor might decide to counteract by say…..riding you about being 2min late, or because you call in sick, or ANYTHING, just to be able to wright you up. I think its really important to keep ourselves busy…..so If I were you, and (you seem like you like your job overall) I’d just dose outside of work.
That being said, I do think addiction is considered a disability. This guy I used to work told me he was able to get medicade just by being an addict. He didn’t have to pay much at all for his doctor visits or Suboxone because of his medicade coverage.
This used to REALLY piss me off though…….I was paying out the ass for Sub treatment (like most people), and he was able to get Subs, almost for free………AND STILL FUCKED AROUND AND KEPT USING! SO UNGRATEFUL!!
