Question by Courteney: How can I get people to stop attacking me?
I feel like people constantly attack me. In Real Life. On the internet. EVERYWHERE. It’s getting to a point where I struggle each day. I’ve never really had a lot of friends and I am working on that.

I want to know what I can do to deal with these problems better.

Congratulations on having almost two years of sobriety! With regard to becoming a substance abuse counselor, I believe that most with a Certified Addiction Counselor (CAC) have a master’s degree which takes about six years of college, if attending on a full-time basis.
