The Clean Slate Addiction Blog

The Clean Slate Addiction Blog examines news and views on addiction from the perspective that addiction is not a disease. The author, Steven Slate, is an addiction expert who struggled for 5 years trying to solve his problem through conventional treatment and 12-step programs, only to find that these very programs were helping him to fail. He eventually found success by learning that substance abuse was a choice. Since then he has helped hundreds of others to end their substance abuse habits as lead instructor and director of a non-12-step program developed by Baldwin Research Institute. Today, he personally coaches others to end their addictions on their own, without having to go to support meetings or take time out of their lives to attend time consuming treatment programs. The blog was founded in May 2010, and has quickly become the source for high quality analysis of news about addiction, treatment, and recovery trends.
