The power of a promise

~ Jason Schwartz

This story has nothing to do with addiction, but it’s amazing what happens when people are offered hope, treated with the expectation of success and given access to opportunities to realize goals they never dared to dream.

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.
