Because I am now a certified alcohol and drug counselor, I see the devastating effects of addiction on a daily basis. I feel so grateful that I was able to remain sober particularly in the beginning when it felt nearly impossible.
In the coming weeks, I will be celebrating another milestone--I will be completing graduate school and obtaining my masters in social work. Not only is this a monumental achievement, but remarkable given that I work more than full-time yet will be graduating with a 4.0. Tomorrow I will be starting the application process for my state licensure and plan to take that exam in January at which time I will officially be a LSW. 😊
Though I continue to be a work in progress, I have cultivated a strong and true relationship with myself over the past 4 years. While I don't know what the future holds, I know it will not be like my past.
I feel so blessed that I don't have to live that way anymore and that I have the self-respect and self-worth to never settle for less than I deserve! ❤
