A little recovery anyone?
In my quest to figure out what I want to do with my life, I started considering being some sort of counselor. Peer counselor, drug rehab counselor, etc etc. I was researching on the internet and I found this drug rehab place down in Malibu, CA.
I think it would be incredibly rewarding to help people recover from something that has taken over their lives. It’s a choice to let this take over your life, yet you don’t know it until it’s too late and you’re already knee deep into the addiction. I am going to look into doing something within the addiction recovery field.
I remember when I was younger, I had wanted to be a psychologist of some kind. I get a lot out of helping people talk through their problems and most of the time I give great advice. Doesn’t mean I follow my own advice, I just know I give pretty good advice. LOL
And now since I have a little 12 step recovery stuff under my belt, I believe I could really help people. I went to a 10 year birthday meeting last night for friend. It was standing room only. There were close to 50 people in that small room. It was well worth it, she’s an awesome lady. Seeing things like that make me believe that anyone who becomes addicted to anything, can make it like she did. We addicts have to realize we are addicted first and foremost and then it goes from there. Once we realize it, we admit it and then start working on it.
Recovery is a beautiful thing and as long as I keep working the program and going to my meetings? I’ll remain able to choose not to practice my addiction today.
Until next time….
