Introduction

Combining addiction research and application to make our industry better at what it does!

About Me

I’m a doctoral student at UCLA finishing up my PhD in psychology.

I’ve been studying issues related to drug-addiction, sex-addiction, and gambling-addiction for the past 6 years. I’ve researched related conditions like HIV, Hepatitis, depression, and ADHD as well. During this time I have been, and still am, learning a lot that I think can benefit those struggling with addiction themselves, as well as their family members, friends, and loved ones.

Whatever you’re comfortable calling addiction (disease, affliction, a moral failing) there’s no doubt that it’s having a great, negative, impact on those it affects.

I am most interested in learning about what I call “The pathway to addiction,” the ways people become addicted and the reasons they may stay stuck in addiction. I’ve learned a lot about about the genetic, behavioral, and environmental influences on addiction and drug-abuse. I hope you can use this blog to benefit from my knowledge without having to do so
