Many wonder what compels someone to open their time and heart to addicts and potential societal misfits so deeply. It could be that the people who have similar life experiences are compelled to make a difference to those in recovery. In doing so, they can provide guidance that isn't normally accessible through education alone. This offers those they're helping wider access to insights and resources, coming from someone who knows what it's like to be in the deepest, darkest moments of addiction.

Why do so many in recovery choose to explore a career as an alcohol and drug counselor? In this episode, we examine this question and examine why it tends to happen. Our intent is to help provide guidance for those in similar situations -- so that they may seek the training they need to offer help to those that need it most.
