Alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) use by individuals working in the addictions field has existed as a complex, controversial personal and professional practice issue for more than 150 years. The central debate within this history involves the concept of nexus - the boundary that distinguishes rights to personal privacy from professional duties and obligations. |

Read an inspirational message that deals with the need to heed nature's call to slow down and seek renewal, as winter approaches. To the extent that we are able to align ourselves with the natural rhythm of the season, we can embrace the coming holidays with joy and gratitude, rather than succumbing to the "holiday crazies" that are right around the corner. |

The experience of a first-time supervisor or manager is often one of the most trying in their career. They rarely have adequate training for the new management role -- they were promoted because of their technical expertise, not because of their managerial expertise. |

The act of forgiveness is truly a cleansing process that resonates throughout our entire being. Through forgiveness, we are able to release our resentment toward others and thereby lighten our load. Following the path of forgiveness also enables us to release ourselves from the burden of excessive guilt stemming from our own misdeeds that have either intentionally or unintentionally inflicted harm on those around us.

Effective crisis management is an important best practice; it is an essential skill of effective time managers because unexpected things do happen in every project. The problem comes when crisis management becomes the routine rather than the exception. If you spend more of your time putting out fires than doing your work, you are managing by crisis.

| Are You an Adrenalin Junkie?

Many (if not most) people with addictive disorders crave excitement, and feel a need to live on the edge all the time - even after they have entered into recovery. In fact, many treatment professionals believe that learning to live without constantly kicking our adrenalin into overdrive can be as great a challenge for people in recovery as learning to live without alcohol or drugs. |
