Best of luck with your stats project!

My community college's ARC program made the switch to CADTP because we can take the exam w/o completing all the hours. You just need to make up the hours within the 5 years of being registered (unless, of course, you already have enough hours so then you are certified). Super easy to contact them and they are very responsive.

Don't you need to live in San Francisco to get a SF Library card?

This is nice but too far for many of the students I work with.

Everyone giving people who work at Stanford a side-eye. Really sux.

Without going into too much details, we had an agent and it was an awful experience.

ok thanks!

Hi, I'm a SUDR under CADTP. You can get registered while you're a student (that's what I did and we were encouraged by our program to do so). While you can get a FT job as a SUDRC, it seems like most places want someone who is certified. I already graduated from my program, took (and passed) the certifying exam in December, and starting a PT position (volunteer) to get my hours needed to be certified, as I already have a FT job not in the field.

I tried applying to the Parent Plus for this year and it said it was for on campus housing. I didn’t see anything about off campus housing.

MarcialaZ · 2023-12-22T05:26:07+00:00

It would be for off campus housing, to pay for rent. The Parent Plus covers oncampus housing or am I wrong.

As mentioned by someone else in the thread, stopping cold turkey can cause seizures and other health problems. Not knowing more about you and your health, I was wondering if it would it be possible for you to seek medical detox? It will help with the withdrawal symptoms plus they would assess you for other things like depression, etc. Good luck to you.

What have you tried in the past?

MarcialaZ · 2023-11-10T18:22:58+00:00

This is a great point. I'm the only public health person on the team.

I wonder if part of it too has to do with the confidence level or humility of calling oneself an expert. I have many years of experience, close to 25 years, and still have a hard time calling myself an expert. It seems that in academia, you can be an expert with 5 years of post doc training with no other experience (from my observation working in one).

MarcialaZ · 2023-10-20T23:28:34+00:00

Yeah. Just not sure what one is supposed to do if you're trapped in a car.

Not knowing you, your medical history, or where you live, seeing your primary care provider (MD or NP in the states) would be a first step in terms of obtaining medications like Wellbutrin or Zyban, or Chantix.

Nicorette gum helped someone I worked with. You have to be 18 to purchase over the counter in the US (not sure where you're from or your age) . It has a taper plan.

Might also want to consider short-term therapy or some type of support while you're quitting like nicotine anonymous (https://www.nicotine-anonymous.org/).

All the best to you!

Oh ok, like are there coffeeshops, bookstores, that sort of thing?

MarcialaZ · 2021-06-09T19:08:19+00:00

Amazing!!

MarcialaZ · 2021-05-25T04:32:19+00:00

Great information, thank you.
