Last week, we talked about what to do when you or someone you know makes the commitment to break the chains of an addiction. When I say addiction, I’m talking more than just drugs and alcohol. I’m talking about any addiction, that activity in our life that owns us, that we go back to time...
Last week we talked about life at the end of the trail - what happens to people when they do not break the chains of their addiction. We talked about where they would be 25 years later. Your comments were awesome, and it was one of my best blogs yet. Your comments make it happen. This week, I want to...

For example, did you know addiction is the #1 public health crisis in the United States, costing 500 billion dollars each year? That’s a lot of money. Think of all the good things...
I have been thinking about addictions a lot lately. It all started when I began receiving so many calls on my show, Dawson McAllister Live.
