...guess where I'm at? That's right, it's Starbucks. Just did a little more research online about the CADC1 and the CADC2. I can get them both through PCC, experience and passing two different tests. Would start as a CADC1 and then just have to get more supervised experience and pass another test to get the CADC2. I've been worried about this the past few days.
I've been filled with self doubt about this whole idea of becoming a recovery counselor. Spent some time talking to someone in my 12 step program that used to do this kind of work. He thought I would be pretty good at it. He also said it didn't pay well at all. He thought a Master's Degree would be a good way to go as it would give me more options down the road. I feel a little better about it now. So I've got to get copies of my transcripts in my hands as soon as possible so I can talk to the Alcohol & Drug Admissions Counselor at PCC. I don't want to future trip about all of this but do want to be prepared.
Also, I've got an appointment with my Priest Therapist today. I'm sure we'll talk about this a bit today. I'm interested in hearing her opinion today as I did most of the talking last week. I also wish to check out Grad Schools to see what options are available there regarding a Psychology degree or a Masters in Social Work.
In strange how last night I was feeling down and out. Didn't feel that things were moving in a good direction. But going to the orientation last night showed me that I needed to do some more research. This morning I feel so much better. I clearly misunderstood what I read the first time through the material for CADC1 and CADC2. That is showing me that I need to slow down when processing information. It's not important to be the first one done with something. It's far more important to understand it correctly.
