Looking to the future

My short term goals are to stay sober one day at a time and to rebuild relationships with my family and loved ones.

I have an opportunity to go back to school. There’s an organization that helps ex-felons and drug addicts go back to school. I’d like to become a counselor or social worker and work with adolescents. They wouldn’t get away with anything.

The obsession to use has left. Now it's more of a thinking problem than a drug or drinking problem. I could think myself out of this room, back to using drugs.

People say I’m in the right place. It just takes time.
