How Do I Become a Drug and Alcohol Counselor?
Question by : How do I become a drug and alcohol counselor?
I have struggled with addiction for years and now that I am clean and getting my life back on track I finally decided what I want to do with my life. I want to help others that are going through what I did. I am just worried because I’m 24 and don’t have alot of school under my belt. Is there any websites I can go to get a list of schools in my area. (illinois) I read something once that was like a 2-3 year school specifically for that but I totally forgot the name and I can’t seem to find it. Any help is appreciated

You would need to get your BSN in nursing which would take four years and then perhaps some extra certification after that. usually an employer will specify what else is needed.
So Drug Use From My Group of Friends Has Pretty Much Screwed My Social Life…?
Question by crackerjacks12: so drug use from my group of friends has pretty much screwed my social life…?
Well im in kind of a shi**y situation where my group of friends who I have hung out with since i was kid (im now 20) have let their drug use get the best of them… I have done drugs in the past but I had the brains to get out of it while I could and I have not done any drugs other then tobacco and alcohol in 3 years… Well, its gotten to the point where they have moved on to hard drugs, and all they care about is getting high, and its gotten to the point for me that I can not even hang with them because I can not stand seeing them like that. I hated to leave my old group of friends behind, but i knew that I needed to. I eventually did make a new set of friends who were clean and the good majority of them had never even touched a drug. After a while though it went right back into the same routine for me because out of nowhere they began using drugs too.
Im just sick of this crap because I have lost too many people who are close to me… Some of my friends have died from drugs, some are in prison because of drugs, I have lost relationships because of drugs, and the rest are just wasting their lives away because of drugs. I really do not know what too move onto, because it seems to me that every time I get accepted into a new group of people, they all end up being your typical crack head…. im just really starting to believe that The entire youth of northern Illinois is completely screwed. I really need answers on what I can do, and how I can move on, because it seems every time I make progress in disassociating myself with drugs, it somehow finds its way back into the lives of my friends and my social life
What Are the Laws Regarding Reporting Substance Abuse During Pregnancy?
Question by ~Christina~: What are the laws regarding reporting substance abuse during pregnancy?
I am in nursing school and one of my classes is called Family and Interpersonal Violence. I am doing a research paper about Abuse of the Unborn: Substance Abuse During Pregnancy. I have found a lot of useful information about the prevelance, effects drugs/alcohol on the baby, and getting help for those women. I am trying to determine if there are laws (I live in Florida) that say it is illegal for substance abuse during pregnancy or if there are laws that mandate health care providers to report this issue to DCF.
My Relationship Is Suffering Because of Depression. Can Someone Please Help Me!?
Question by jingo 97: My relationship is suffering because of depression. Can someone please help me!?
Hi…sorry for the long message but I really need to talk to someone and would really appreciate it if someone would just listen…
I’ve been suffering from depression for a while now. it never was a constant thing. I’d be my normal, fun loving self for a while, but some nights I’d find myself with my fist clenched tight with tears running down my face…It’s been like this since I was younger.
Growing up in Chicago, I was a witness to drug abuse from my father almost every night. Seeing my father high as a child was a norm; it’s sad but it was expected. The image of him high is burned in my head. It was like a nightly routine. First, he’d come down stairs and begin pacing…eyes wide as could be. His jaw moving side to side, his voice could be heard from outside. I’d run to a room and close the door and turn the TV up loud as possible so he wouldn’t be heard…hoping it would be over soon. By the end of the night I was fuelled with so much rage…pain…sorrow. I’ve been through that a countless number of times and sooo much more, but i choose not to talk about it. I’d just swallow it and keep it inside.
I live with my mother in Atlanta now; she doesn’t know about any of this… We never had a good relationship neither. Constant fighting every day…even now!!!
With no solid relationship with nether one of my parents I never had a shoulder to cry on, or someone to talk to at anytime. But 7 month ago I met the love of my life. She means the world to me and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her. We’re even talking about getting married! But our lives are different in some ways. Her parents are married, big house and they bought my girlfriends car for her. And me…well i don’t have a car and……well you understand.
She lives 45min away, so I only see her 2…3 times a week, but the drive to my house is starting to take a toll on her; I’ve always hated that and knew eventually the drive would get to her.
Anyway… she’s witness some of these random break downs throughout our relationship. She tries to cheer me up…telling me to think positive and have faith that things will change, but its hard to think positive when you’ve been surrounded by negativity your entire life. I try…God knows I try, but then something happens like me getting fired from my job…which brings me back down to an all-time low. She could find someone so much better than me. Yet, she chooses to stay. With college, work, and my depression…it’s getting her all stressed out, and I know she’s getting really annoyed with me. It got really bad today…I don’t wanna hurt her (not physically) or myself anymore.
