The Addiction Blog is the vision of Noah Coley.  Noah is the main producer of content which includes blog posts, podcasts, interviews, research, inspirational reading, and much more.

The Addiction Blog (TAB) is designed to be THE tool that reaches the masses in order to educate, inspire, connect, and enable its followers to live lives of full potential.

Educate

TAB will be producing content about addiction in a manner that is not filled with jargon and counselor speech.  Using the heart of a teacher, we will be explaining issues that addicts, or people around addicts, deal with.   We hope to infuse humor and common sense in every interaction we have with our community.

Specifically we will be educating our audience on specific drugs and topics that such as:

  • Alcohol
  • Tobacco
  • Stimulants
  • Hallucinogens
  • Psychedelics.
  • Triggers
  • Cravings
  • Enabling
  • Social Support
  • Daily Living Skills
  • And more

Inspire

TAB will be sharing the inspirational stories of those inside our TAB community, as well as bring people into your life that wish to lead you to lives of full potential.

Inspiration about:

  • Sober Living.
  • Living with a Criminal History.
  • Developing into World Class Employees.
  • Dealing with Messy Family Issues.
  • Becoming People of Influence in your own Communities.
  • And more…

Connect

TAB is not a one way street!

We desire this site to facilitate conversation and prompt you, the reader, to ASK, ASK, ASK!  We have designated one post a week to doing nothing but answering questions submitted by you.  We will be calling this segment  the “Ask TAB”.  We dare not claim to be “experts”  about all things addiction, but we do want to prompt discussions that will lead to fruitful dialog. Together we win!

Enable

Finally, after you have been educated, inspired, and connected with others dealing with the same issues, TAB will be concluding each post with a call to action.  This might be a challenge to complete a task, a request to share an experience in the discussion forums, or any other form of action.  The purpose of this is simple, we hope you try something.  No one can come through your computer screen and make you do anything, but if we can motivate you to take a step with the possibility of failure and try something… then we have fulfilled our purpose.

So are you ready?  Here is your first call to action…Actually lets double that, here is your first TWO call to actions!

  1. Please help me spread this web address!  Tweet www.theaddictionblog.com like it’s hot, like us on Facebook, or email this post to your mailing lists.  Help TAB build community from day one.

  2. In the discussion forum below, help us compile a list of any “Ask TAB” questions you would like answered in the future.  No question is to small or to complex. It can be about anything addiction touches such as family issues, specific drug questions, living in recovery, drugs in the news, whatever.

    I know I like to think that I don’t know anything about or anyone with addiction. This could be helpful for me to realize I may be more connected than I think, and need more help
