Addictions

Since I have begun taking my first psychology class, I have come to the realization that I do want to do something in the area of addictions as a career. It has a lot to do with the fact that I myself, am an addict. I've been clean for quite some time now, and the more I keep learning about psychology and subtance abuse, the more I get intrigued and want to learn more. Being in a recovery program did help me out, and my own will to do better for myself is what eventually pulled me through. I admit that to this day, i still have vivid dreams about using again. Sometimes I will even have the desire for it, but I have enough self discipline and other tools, like self love, to overcome it. Well anyway, at this very moment, I'm not sure exactly what it is that I want to do in the psychology field, but I am thinking about being an addictions specialist. This is just the beginning, but we'll see.
