Tomorrow is my first day on the job as a Certified Peer Specialist. According to wikipedia a CPS, or Peer Support Specialist, is a person who has progressed enough in their own recovery that they are able to assist others in theirs by articulating their goals, assisting them with their treatment and self-help strategies and obtaining effective resources.
As with any new endeavor, I'm excited, anxious, worried, scared, happy, and nervous. As if going through 2 interviews weren't enough, I was recommended for the position by one of the facilitators from the certification program I took that gave the number requirement for the position.
I have the usual amount of butterflies before I start any new job but tonight is a little different because I have a karaoke hosting gig from 10 to 2. Hopefully I'll be able to have just enough drinks to put me to sleep but not allow me to oversleep in the morning.
I have a lot to do tonight to prepare for tomorrow, but I'm hoping that it won't be anywhere near as nerve wrecking as I'm thinking.
