Clean and Sober for over 100 Days!
2008.03.03 - 7:04 PM
Hello, I have been sober for over 100 days now and it hasn't been easy. It has been alot of hard work and dedication. I have had to give up friends and make new ones. I have had to get in touch with my feelings and try to find out who I really am inside. I now have a goal in mind for a career.I want to work with street kids; as a former street kid myself I believe that people can benifit from a person who as actually been there rather than an "educated" counsellor.
And by "educated" counsellor I mean one that has gone to school for their training and not one that has lived and breathed the streets. I did a program called Crystal Clear in Van. that trained street youth to be peer to peer workers and I enjoyed the concept emmensly, so much in fact that I wanted to continue that line of work, but with an education to back up my life experience.
Right on! I am a peer worker for vancouver coastal health, and i've recently started to get an education...
I really think you should go for it!!!!!

Yeah ,good on ya Terrance.I too am now drug free(been two months now.)also very interested with being a counsellor..I have been with H/N now for a year and it was a part of what i was doing that lead me in the direction of becoming sober.I felt that i was big time active in my community doing one on with with people or big rallys,so I decieded that i want to be clean and clear with my intentions of helping others and tring to benifet others with a clear and clean path to follow.Also Mediation for me is a big help(2hrs a day at least)it clears the mind and brings calmness out of chaos...a techinque called Vipassana can help break the bonds of suffering.cultivating good morals,mind focus, inner knowledge/wisdom...
alright peace be with you.

RIGHT ON!
HANG IN THERE DUDE! :-)

MAY THE BINS BE WITH YOU!
Don't know you but I am almost 3 years clean and if you are from Van I was the girl throwing sticks around all the time and afraid of my own shadow..It is possible and it does get easier!!YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I crave I picture a battle with a samurai and I kick his ass..he used to win but I got tougher.
I saw your video on here and I do recognize you..I am almost at three years and I know people that have gone to harborlight with great success.You are in a good place although it might seem like the wrong area..I cleaned up while living at The St.Helen's Hotel and still hanging on Granville.I am a sucker for punishment but I think it made my recovery stronger seeing all the suffering while I was getting healthier.I have an amazing life now and I am married to my soulmate and have an incredible 19 month old son who has never seen his mom messed up.So important.So I you remember me you know I was crrrraaaazy but I got better so I know any one can..
Keep up the great work..I just really sick and tired of saying I was sick and tired of being sick and tired..lol..
