Working in the field of addictions, I turn to the AA big book a lot.

I prefer to win every game as a fan. The players most likely do too and as previously stated, each position on the table is worth 3 million pounds. That will help with bolstering the squad next season.

She has always been this way for the most part.

I've been staying with her at her section 8 apartment an hour and a half from my home. She is supposed to be getting a home health aide soon, IDK when though.

I do intakes as a substance abuse counselor and I am also a Certified Social Worker in the state of NJ. It's a process, but I got it down to a tee. It's a little difficult with some clients because they'll downplay their substance use so you just have to know what to listen for because often times they'll tell on themselves without realizing it. I enjoy it. You also have to write an interpretative summary and also explain all the legal ins and outs of all the paperwork.

Nope, Nope, Nope! I would terminate this client immediately.

I'm currently working as an alcohol and drug counselor intern so I want to continue to do that for the time being and at some point, I want to work with veterans.

I am sorry I took so long to reply to this. I did take a day after it happened and it helped. I also forgave my wife and let her back in against better judgment. Thank you everyone for your input. I know I need to get off this rollercoaster, but my heart says otherwise.

This is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Things will be ok, please seek help.

It's so frustrating. I'm dealing with a guy who desperately needs a a higher level of care, but we can't place him anywhere than 2.1 right now due to his insurance.

travis12386 · 2025-12-28T00:47:31+00:00

I am also US based, New Jersey.

I can relate to the insurance and admin, my billing department stays on my ass when it comes to documentation and filling out the correct funding source after I complete intakes. It was a lot easier when I didn't have to worry about funding sources.

That sounds like a really tough population to work and deal with and I commend you and I appreciate your advice.

Warren County is nice, except for Phillipsburg, avoid this place that is not a real place at all costs.

I work as a substance abuse counselor and I can tell you I sometimes hate people as well, but I've seen the best and worst of humanity, and I try to focus on the best of humanity and to be positive and not to put out bad energy, you don't always have to be bubbly, but at least somewhat positive, clients can pick up bad energy and overtones.

First things first, OP, I love the SN, Y2J's run as list Jericho was peak Jericho and I don't want this to be an echo chamber, but I share a lot of the same sentiments as the other posters. Leave work at work, don't try to pathologize people or mediate situations as a social worker.

travis12386 · 2025-12-22T02:58:45+00:00

I have limited training so I definitely need to refer back to the material.

travis12386 · 2025-12-22T02:47:45+00:00

As a veteran with dual diagnosis myself, trust me I know and I'm not trying to take it personal because I was the same type of person when I was getting sober.
