Decisions

Decisions are sometimes hard to make. We make decisions for a multitude of reasons. The decision to continue or stop. The decision to keep going or come to a halt. The decision to seek help or keep at it. We always make decisions and those decisions are and should be ours to make right? The decision to start a career in alcohol and drug studies came not necessarily because it was something I wanted to do. It was more something I felt I needed to do. While growing up I didn’t think so much about helping others, I was kind of thrown into it by life circumstances. I didn’t think about how helping others impacts their lives and mine. None of this came to mind. The question of why was always somewhere in the back in my mind subconsciously, but on the forefront I didn’t realize it was driving me here. So here I am and now what? I started off as support staff, then a counselor and now a clinical supervisor. I have made decisions in my career to keep thrusting me forward, but the decisions don’t just end there. They are ongoing and I find that sometimes they get more complicated and challenging.
