Abstract:
For those of us who are set in our ways, we must first seek to understand that we may not grasp
everything. Through my life, I have found that the best way to approach any situation or
circumstance is to not have pre-conceived notions about more than we can see with the naked
eye. Addiction poses a strong negative stigma, because most people see it as a choice. My
personal journey through drug addiction counseling has undoubtedly changed the way I
empathize with people and has inspired me to instill this transition in others.
