Drug Recovery. Do You Manage It or Do You Have to Be a Recovery Natzi?
Question by Erin: Drug recovery. Do you manage it or do you have to be a recovery natzi?
20 years ago i went through rehab. Life went on. I finished college, got a job and a long the way discovered that I am just fine with social drinking. It doesn’t trigger me into anything destructive. I know I have a vulnerability when it comes to some drugs… so I take care around those types drugs and abstain from them.
I don’t personally see anything wrong with managing a propensity towards addiction without complate abstanance from all substances if you’re happy and functional. I have maybe 1 or 2 beers twice a month with my fish tacos.
20 years later, is it really necessary to be a recovery natzi? Some people in the program can’t wrap their heads around it. But is that becasue they need to abstain from eveything and can’t wrap their heads around being able to have a drink without becoming dysfuctional about it?
Looking for you .02. I saw a shrink for something unrelated but she gave me lots of grif over the fact that I was in rehab 20 years ago (for a drug)that I now drink.
If I have not had any issues or problems socially drinking for 15 years, why should I stop now just because I had a problem 20 years ago? I just don’t get it – it doesn’t make sense to me. The point, is that it’s fun, and cultural.
I’m afraid the more I talk to recovering addicts, the less I relate.

Is It True You Only Need a High School Diploma and Certification to Be a Substance Abuse Counselor?
Question by noname: Is it true you only need a high school diploma and certification to be a substance abuse counselor?
Hi, I’m a 31 year old mom and wife that is about to finish my associates degree in psychology next year and I want to get into counseling. I decided to return to college because I’m tired of dead end jobs and want to finish something I started years ago. As soon as I returned to college, I started getting straight A’s in all my classes and have so much enthusiasm to continue, yet I don’t want to be stuck in college until I’m 40 for my career to begin. The maximum I would like to invest is three more years, perhaps even four. I heard that with a bachelor’s in psychology you can’t really do much =-/. I want a better future for my family but I won’t settle for studying something I don’t like just because it’s short…like medical asst. I heard that to be a substance abuse counselor you don’t even have to have a master’s degree and some people only need a high school diploma in addition to some training to get certified…is that true? If so, where can I find out more? How much do these substance abuse counselors w/o the master’s make anyway? Or should I just stick to getting a bachelor’s in psychology and aim for the master’s while working in a job my bachelor’s can qualify me for?
