I have been an addiction professional and social worker since 1994. I started blogging in 2005 as the Clinical Director at Dawn Farm. I currently serve as the Director of Social Work and Spiritual Care for a healthcare system. I've also served as the Director of Behavioral Health at another hospital. I'm also a lecturer at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Social Work.

Keep in mind that the field, the contexts in which the field operates, and my views have changed over time.

I understand about addiction because I suffered from an addiction to crack cocaine for 8 years. It seems like 20 years. My addiction almost cost me my life when I had a cocaine induced massive heart attack. I talk about my struggels in my new book http://WWW.STRATEGICBOOKPUBLISHING.COM/GODAREYOUMADATME.HTML. I talk about I came from eating out of garbage cans to becoming a two-time world powerlifting champion, motivational speaker, licensed counselor, and author. So addiction can be dealt with by a person but they must want it.Harold Longs
