I'm a 22 year old drug and alcohol counsellor, I work in a rural community and talk with people on a daily basis about their substance misuse issues. Hear is the irony though- I drink, and I wonder how I can argue for someone to stop drinking when I do? So I have been telling myself that I would join HSM for a while now, and after a weekend of drinking decided that now is the time, the time to change, to challenge myself and to walk the talk.
