Believe me, I speak from experience. Worked in rehab for a year at a year sober. I quit because I felt like such a hippocrite telling folks how to stay clean and sober when I hardly knew what the hell I was doing or how I was doing it. As much as I love thinking i'm a God, I didnt feel good PLAYING god with others lives. My 6 months working in an inner city detox unit cured me of my god complex. lol

Thank you baby, for your advice, and let me point out the fact that I never stated that I would take a job practicing as an LCDC anytime soon, I'm concentrating on nursing, and still have 1.5 years to complete my RN. I completely understand your experience that you explained. I am simply getting licensed for the future. I'd like to someday work with teens part time. Thank you for your advice. Take care and good look with your sobriety!
