Congratulations on your sober time = 14 days!
I am coming up on 7 years and if anybody ever told me back when I had 14 days that life would be this great and that I would become an addiction counsellor I would have told them they need medication.

Miracles do happen.
Dare to dream!

I really like the idea of recruiting your friend, who could actually collaborate on your work "history".
I think your right....and I had already decided to recruit my friend, in fact, I have already contacted him and he is glad to do it. He knows my addiction problem and I have worked with him in the past part-time. Thanks

Congratulations on 14 days! That's a great blood pressure reading, if you stay sober you can continue to have readings like that.

I agree. That does stink. If someone were to have had a flare up of a disease, it would have been ok. By the way, he is a she.
