No I think there are some here that are .... but they also have been an addict at one point - I think maybe those "professionals" you are speaking of are the ones that have not. to them YEAH its helping others but it is also just a job .... yes they want results ... but IMO - its different when you are a counselor who has the real life experience to go with it. I also agree with wonderwoman .... they probably like to do other things on their free time then to spend it here ...... I know there came a point when I was just a house manager at rehab and coming here alot ... that I got burnt out....

My own program, coming here , working with my sponsees .... and managing a sober living - I needed a break not to mention I had a few personal things that Rocked my world for a bit.

OH and SFJ I think we both and anyone who frequents these boards often knows certain subjects will continue to be brought up every so often ... My question was just really just to see who that is was here 2, 3 years ago ... that was at one time considering becoming one actually did ...


And you know how certain things can turn into totally different topics Maybe I should have been more specific and left out my 2cents.
