Neutral on the Topic

[On the Pulse]

So ... I am an addiction counsellor and work daily with men in recovery (or just need a bed to crash). I see the terrible effect of addiction on people's lives everyday. As a youth I blamed my father and his drinking for my issues (low self-esteem, etc.). I was married and quit drinking and drugging for narly six years to straighten my shit out and went to college for Social Services. I graduated with honours and now work for a prestigous hospital. I drink approximately three days a week and enjoy it, I also use controlled substances and enjoy tripping out. So, that's me ... I'm not a hypocrite as I tend to engage my men in harm reduction over abstinence; but if they're at abstinence I can talk at length with them about 12 Step and treatment options. I keep my personal life outside of work and my work out of my personal life. I am here to learn about street drugs as my clients (and some peers) encounter bad shit out there and I'd like information on symptoms of adverse reactions. Also, I am here as a human being, and am willing to lend an empathetic ear at times, and may want to join in on some conversations that interest me. Cheers!

Damn right ... When I'm out having a good night my buds always joke ... I try to be discrete though as my clients frequent some of my places :$
