Okay, I feel like I’ve been slacking on the writing for A3 recently. After finally finishing my Doctorate at UCLA a little more than a month ago, things have been surprisingly hectic for me. In case you hadn’t read it here or on the Huffington Post, I’ve been getting a little more exposure recently, some of it unwanted, but I’m hoping that in the process we’ll get more attention for our work here on All About Addiction. In the end, it’s all about helping addicts get help.

We’ve also begun featuring articles by Dirk Hanson, the journalist behind Addiction Inbox, one of my favorite sites featuring addiction information. Dirk’s first post had to do with the patterns of addiction treatment entries in the U.S. using the TEDS data from SAMHSA. One of my goals for this next year is to begin featuring more articles from outside writers including international experts on addiction. Hopefully, we’ll be able to include a peer-review process similar to that of academic journal to bring the level of our writing even higher – if that’s possible!!!

Thank you everyone for your continued support – We’re 15,000 visitors strong every month now and from the feedback I’m getting, we’re helping at least some of our readers out there and that’s all I’ve ever wanted.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jaffe
