Addiction councilors who are also in recovery find it easier to put themselves in their clients place by drawing on their memories of themselves at that stage in their own recovery. Addicts more often trust addiction counselors who are recovering because they see the counselor as someone who has "been there" and can see it is possible to have a better life themselves by seeing the counselor as an example. AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
