As my studies in the curriculum of a CASAC begin I am marked by the genuine excitement I feel towards the vocation that I may have been born for. The study of alcohol from its history throughout the ages to the emotional, physiological and social affects it has on those that are dependent and abuse that liquid substance will be my ultimate therapy as I head into my sunset years. I know I have a lot to give between my God given grey cells to my experience and gregarious nature. The world I will touch will be the legacy I have always longed for.
I have talked the talk and now I will be able to walk the walk all the while reinforcing my own sobriety that I protect like the pirates who guarded their buried treasure with their very lives.
This past month marked year XXIII in Roman Numeral time of my sobriety and for the first time in many an anniversary I can genuinely say that I have a renewed sense of purpose as a sponsor and with my enrollment as a student in the certificated course as a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor. Someone once told me I have "game" and for this alcoholic my “game” will be to really put in the footwork and help others do the same.
Focus, focus, focus that is the ticket. We all know you have the talent and cognitive skills to complete this or any other of your goals. Momentary distractions can cause a derailment. Again I say focus, focus,focus and good luck.
