Are you having a problem with alcohol or drugs? A swell to help people understand the things they dont know about addiction /process of recovery.
And I've worked with people who had Duis and DUI programs and people who were in Detox. So I've worked in many different modalities with people and again, it was my privilege to do so. And what I saw in terms of what they shared with me and my experience, is that if someone is having problems with alcohol and drugs, they're probably the last one to really know or the last one to admit it to themselves

It's so volatile until they drink again. It varies from person to person how it looks when someone is actively in their addiction. And not everybody who's addicted to alcohol or drugs, you will be able to see it, but then there are some that you will, because it'll be like a sore thumb that's gotten hit by a hammer. You'll see it blatantly

Hi. First off, thank you so much for sharing all this wisdom on here. You have so much knowledge and experience on this topic and I just really appreciate you sharing this. I'm currently studying to be a drama therapist and I need to start working on an internship. And I've been thinking about working with people who are struggling with addiction and substance abuse using dramatic techniques

One of the things that I learned and being in the field of addictions for as long as I had been in there is that as a counselor or anyone that's working with that kind of population or people who have some concerns in that way is that we have to continue to evaluate where we are because we never want what's going on with us to spill over into the people that we're trying to serve, what we're trying to help. Okay?
