A New Beginning

A couple years ago I had the energy to begin a website: txdirector.com. My idea was to create a space where addiction professionals could come and learn about new developments, comment on articles, discuss issues and ask for assistance. Over 300 articles have been posted, mostly by me, with practically no feedback and I'm not sure why it hasn't taken off. I've decided that I'll just do this blog with the hope that others will find it, visit the txdirector site, and use both to discuss issues germane to the treatment field today. I have plenty of opinions, having been in the treatment field since 1974. I also may just be singing to a non-existent choir, but I think they're a few of us out there looking for someone to encourage us and offer advice.

So here's my plan: I'll take a subject and ruminate and perhaps link to an article I've posted. Since helping folks who are suffering from addiction is my passion, I'll have a lot to say. Maybe someone will join me, and if not, I'll just keep rambling until I've said all I want to say. I hope you'll do the same!
