Good for you Adeline that is so awesome
you should be very proud of yourself!
I also want to get into addictions counselling. The degree program here requires 2 years of complete abstinence from all substances including nicotine and they do rigorous screening. So I got some work to do before I am eligible for the program
But it's on my long term plan. No one else can help an addict like another addict.
By the way, I love the strength and determination that comes out so clearly in your posts. You offer a lot of valuable insights. You're an amazing person. Glad you are here!
