Dilemma
For the small group of people that actually read my post's here in WA, I have a dilemma I'd like to share and hopefully gain some guidance. I know this is a decision I'd have to make on my own, hence the damn uncertainty I'm currently facing.
For those that do not know me, I'm an addict/alcoholic been clean and sober for 5+ years and work as a drug and alcohol counselor for the last 3-1/2, not by choice.
I say not by choice because I never thought in a million years with my colorful language and unappealing downright scary attitude I'd be asked to become one.
My blog is my passion and helping other's see what addiction can do to people, family's, and friends. I write like a drunken sailor talks showing and appealing to the majority of my hopeful readers.
This weekend I talked to some people in the same field as myself, some that still work for non-profits and others that have moved on to their own private clients.

Most of the blogs I see in my niche is one of two things;
1. Patient brokering (hate that)
2. Private clientele
The minority is books and self-help programs run by a third-party.
I work well with my team and love the work I do where I am at. I've also been approached in the past by therapist and psychiatrist to work with them for patients with addictions. This is a lot more money and a lot more free time.
I don't do it because I'm scared and I'm in a comfort zone I do not want to leave. I'm a f*&^^ng hypocrite as one of my co-workers called me tonight while discussing the options. I preach this to the clientele I work with on a daily basis, to get out of their comfort zones for them to grow and learn and experience new things in life now that they are clean/sober.
I have other reasons besides the chicken shit part and I've started a pros n cons list of me stepping out of the comfort.
Maybe some words of wisdom may help this process along is what I'm hoping for. I'm also doing this at midnight my time with no chances of a response from the majority of you, then again we have people from all over the world in here so who knows.
Thanks for letting me vent out my anxiety for the 2nd time this week.
