I have been away from school for 30 years and I miss it. I didn't think I could go back to school after being away so long. My brain had dried up. I looked up some on-line classes that fit my schedule and found a program that I was interested in. I didn't have anything in mind particulary, I just wanted to start somewhere, but I found this course in Health Science and have taken a couple of on-line classes this winter. There are several more that I will take this spring and fall. I am working towards getting an Addiction Certificate so I can be certified to be an Addiction Counsellor. I really have enjoyed the process of learning again, and rehydrating my brain. I am flabbergast at the corruption addiction is to people - gambling, alcohol, drugs, pornography, sex, eating... It is terrifying. I have lived in a safe little bubble; not realizing how pervasive addiction is in society.
This link is disturbing but it is the real deal. After watching, give your loved ones that have been a low risk and are safe, extra love today. And if you know someone that struggles with addiction - give them extra love too.
