Adi Jaffe channels my annoyance with the banal use of the word addiction.

I have been an addiction professional and social worker since 1994. I started blogging in 2005 as the Clinical Director at Dawn Farm. I no longer work at Dawn Farm and am now the Director of Behavioral Medicine at a community hospital, and 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.

  1. Ha ha ha – I saw so many of these ‘addictions’ in my news alerts when I first started blogging that I created a category of posts to chronicle them
    called Things White People Get Addicted To http://bit.ly/pJcIZm (a take on the Stuff White People Like genre http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/ ). Not to link-bomb your post, just to point out that the phenomenon is pervasive, and sometimes hilarious. Also, ‘porn’ is the new ‘addiction,’ e.g. shoe porn, food porn, etc.
