Oh the Places You'll Go!
Friends, tonight I finished my first year of graduate school to be a clinical mental health professional. I started two years ago, and had to take a leave of absence to deal with a devastating relapse. After deciding that I needed to get back into this program, I worked my ass off, both in my recovery, as well as in this graduate program, to get where I am. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the people who have supported me in this journey. The world opens up in ways that you could never imagine, once you set down the bottle.
