I really enjoyed Bill White’s post today. It’s a collection of quick takes on several issues.
His willingness to address the moral dimensions of recovery are sure to provoke thought:
Recovery must be as morally redemptive as addiction is morally corrupting, as connective as addiction is alienating. . .
On being a fellow traveler:
What we can offer of greatest value is our presence and our acceptance of another person’s suffering. Then and only then can we offer our own story. . .

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.

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