By way of introduction, my name is Juan Blea and I am a licensed alcohol and drug counselor (at the Master's level) who believe with every ounce of my being that reflective journaling can lead to great sources of internal, positive energy. I've witnessed both darkness and light, and I think they both have value for learning. My latest book, 49 Tips and Insights for Understanding Addiction won the 2016 NM-AZ Book Coop book of the year award for being the best self-help book....my blog is jblea1016.com and I look forward to being a part of the WU community! award
