Red face WOW...They offered me a job.

I am doing an internship this semester. I am going to school to get my LCDC. (Licenses chemical dependency counseling). And they offered me a paying job! I am not telling this to toot my own horn, but to let you all know that this WOULD NOT have happened if I had not gotten clean and sober.

The promises are coming true in my life. I know a new freedom and a new happiness.

I do not regret the past or wish to shut the door on it. Infact my past is one of my greatest assets today.

I just wanted everyone to know that SOBRIETY ROCKS!!!

Well done you, and thank you very much for sharing it too - you're not tooting your won horn. It's so important that people still struggling with addiction can see and hear that there really is hope of a better life. We all remember how soul-destroying hopelessness is!

Tanya,
That is such awesome news. It is wonderful that you do not regret your past, and that you realize it has brought you to where you are today. The fact that you struggled in the past turns out to be a blessing.

Thanks everyone. I am not going to take the job. (I am blessed that I don't have to work while I'm in school). But it sure is nice to be appreciated!
