Sorry for the rant, I guess this has been on my mind for awhile.
It was a GREAT rant, really. There's more to addiction treatment than just being an addict yourself.

Grumps, will you ever consider finishing school? It sounds like you got a lot out of what you've completed so far, and with your bubbly self - well - I think you'd rock as a substance abuse counselor. I'm thinking very few people would be pulling the wool over your eyes, and you have your heart in the right place.

...and I have until the end of the month to complete 30 units of CEU's, because it's renewal time, and I've been procrastinating again, so reading this was a good reminder of THAT too.
