Drug addiction is nuanced; there are layers to everything attached to it - from availability to the eventual use.
When it comes to addiction, there are more causes than there are blames. Addiction is usually the outcome of a process rather than an occurrence. What this means in plain terms is that the foundation for addiction is usually laid long before actual use.
Then, once addiction takes root, it does so in the same area of the brain that controls our need to breathe. In this sense, a craving can be compared to ones desperation for his next breath after holding it for a minute. Thus, addiction is classified as a disease ( I.e. it alters the brain’s functionality).
Now this is the perspective from which the prevalence and availability of drugs must be understood: the desperation that craving causes will drive a person to spend every awaken minute thinking about how to gain access to the drug of choice. That desperation, coupled with a dealers scrupulous observation of it, will make it damn near impossible to keep drugs - especially something that is used/fatal in such small quantities as fentanyl - out of the most secure locations!
This assessment doesn’t even scratch the surface of the layered challenges that we face. However, I will reiterate this: it is more prudent to focus on “causes” than on “blame” because addiction is the outcome of a process, and the availability of drugs is a response to a desperation that is similar to our need to take our next breath…
If we don’t truly understand this, we can cause more harm than good by raising a sword at our allies, while allowing the enemy to continue to destroy.

I’m excited and deeply honored to share that I will be the keynote speaker for the 99th Conasauga Drug Court Graduation Ceremony on December 11th at the Whitfield County Courthouse.

These ceremonies are powerful celebrations of determination and transformation. Our recovery community in Whitfield and Murray counties is extraordinary—people here continually show up for one another, and it’s a privilege to stand alongside them as we honor the graduates’ hard work and perseverance.

My journey—from incarceration to recovery to leadership—has taught me that change is always possible when hope meets responsibility. Being able to share that message through Principles Over Passions Consultancy is one of the greatest gifts of my life’s work.

If you’re looking for a speaker or trainer for your agency, school, business, or community event—whether the focus is recovery, resilience, leadership, or lived-experience storytelling—I would love to partner with you.

Let’s continue building communities where transformation is possible and supported.

The Southeast Addiction Recovery Coalition is a regional alliance of recovery-focused organizations from across the Southeastern United States, united under the shared belief that recovery is possible for everyone, everywhere.

We believe we are stronger together and with a united voice we can impact policy and funding from Washington D.C., State Capitols across the Southeast, and in our local communities

Uniting peers with lived experience, families, clinical professionals, and allies from business, faith, education, and law-enforcement, we join together to save lives, restore families, and strengthen communities across the Southeast
