Has anyone here ever been to rehab to become sober, I have a few questions if you don’t mind answering ..?

I’m looking to be a Addiction medicine specialist.
I want to work in the counseling aspect of the Field, just wondering if anyone here has been to a rehabilitation center, I have a couple questions.

* Do you find it easier to talk to people that have had the same experience as you? Say if I went in there to talk to you, but I had no drug abuse experience whatsoever, would you feel like I shouldn’t even be there trying to talk with you?

*Do you find it easier to talk with people that have had the same experience, or people that have no idea what it is like to go through what you are going through?
thanks for the honest answers =)
