I am grateful to be through the most challenging

I am grateful to be through the most challenging part of the application process to a graduate school program that will enable me to be a licensed, rather than certified, addiction counselor. The hardest part was asking for letters of recommendation. It’s so hard to ask when feeling ashamed and undeserving is ingrained. And, the part where all answered my request literally in minutes and with effusive praise was nearly unbearable. Whew. Made it over that hurdle. Now I need to write my essay. I am grateful for sober opportunities and continuing desire to improve as a human. I am grateful for you and this space.
