Addiction Counselor

41 years today.

Well, I passed 40 years last September. Who would have ever thought. The first five years no one thought I would stay sober. My family, my friends, everyone that knew me. I have a lot of knowledge about the use, abuse, and addiction to most of the drugs. I never smoked crack because it had not been invented yet when I got clean. I have kept my license up for over 30 years now and worked at being a counselor for 15 years full time in many different settings. In patient, out patient, in the prisons, til I finally retired in the parole office. What's the number one symptom of addiction? Denial and it's not a river in Egypt.

I'm still here. Just haven't taken the time to work on this page. If you ask me a question about addiction and I see it I will be happy to answer it.
