Rabbi Taub give a great talk for anyone with an addict or alcoholic in their life. There are some very illuminating jewels in it. For example:
“We often go through life assigning unreasonable responsibilities to ourselves–G-dlike responsibilities to ourselves. For example, this person I love should be safe and happy. That’s a G-dlike responsibility. I can’t do that. I don’t know any human who can take that kind of responsibility.”

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.
Views expressed here are my own.
Keep in mind that the field, the contexts in which the field operates, and my views have changed over time.
