Goals do come true!
Hey everyone,
I have been going through a difficult time and appreciate all of the support I have gotten. Now I want to share some GOOD NEWS.
I have been in school the last 4 semesters to get my LCDC (Licensed chemical dependency counselor). First you have to get a CI (Counselor Intern) License and I got mine yesterday!!!
So now I will need to work under an LCDC for 4000 hours before I become a "real" counselor, but I am on my way to a dream that I have had for a LONG time.
Thanks to all of you for your ongoing support
Love,
Tanya:ghug

Tanya, I'm SO PROUD OF YOU!!! There just aren't enough words to express how happy I am for you at the moment. I know this is a huge amazing thing. You have worked so hard and you are making it! What a great gift of recovery! This is truly a fantastic achievement and it is a great inspiration to me and others because it shows us that great things can happen in recovery.

Well this is a huge relief, Tanya - I've been worried since reading your other thread but haven't known what to say. Having that profession will be so gratifying. (You're turning lemons into lemonade for sure.)
