Intriguing New Website: The Fix

May 28, 2011 By Keith Humphreys @KeithNHumphreys

The Fix is generating spirited debate among recovering people and addiction treatment professionals. Some are delighted that a website produced primarily by people with experience of addiction is gaining an audience, others find the celebrity-focus of the site off-putting.

I personally find the contents uneven in quality, but I would recommend that anyone interested in addiction and recovery give it a look. My recent favorite The Fix stories are Tony O’Neill’s essay on the current UK heroin drought, Bill Manville’s honest, well-written account of how his bohemiam drinking days became progressively nightmarish and Ruth Fowler’s unsentimental and therefore useful guide to finding the right A.A. meeting
