Question by getoverit: “Do people in recovery always contemplate becoming an addiction(s) counselor?” ?
I find that people in recovery often want to “give back” and get involved w/ others in recovery by considering counseling as a new career. Is this just a healing phase or is it some sort of “calling” to help out others?
