Many people get degrees in counseling in order to learn more about how they can help themselves — in addition to helping other people. This makes sense, since many of us have our own problems to deal with. Reading counseling blogs can be a great help as we look for support through our problems, and attempt to overcome addictions.
If you are interested in finding continuing support, but you are not sure if you are ready to let others know about your addictions, you can use technology to your advantage. There are a number of helpful counseling blogs that can offer great ideas for overcoming, as well as offer a safe environment of support. Here are 50 great addiction counseling blogs:
