DRUGNET
was born our of a desire of Dr. C.J. Shaw, an addictionologist, to bring the local marijuana issue to the forefront in 2005. With Dr. Shaw being a recovering person from alcohol and my black-belt in co-dependency, I was "in." I was already a founding member of The Drug Coalition and President of Friends of the Coalition, so DRUGNET was a natural fit. Before we could launch the show, the drug of choice had changed to methamphetamine. Dr. Shaw and I spent months providing education on all drugs, including designer drugs. We opened up the phone lines and we were inundated with calls. We knew we were on to something. Our next step was to bring on people in recovery to tell their story. The phones kept ringing but people did not want their voices heard on the radio. Our Tech would answer the phone and type the questions on the screen for us to answer. After Dr. Shaw retired, two recovering people - Roger N and Randy - joined me as co-hosts. The show evolved into sharing the 12 steps and how to get in to recovery. After these two co-hosts left, I was joined by Dr. David Greenburg who had come from Scottsdale to The White Mountains to work in The Medical Detox Unit at WMRDC in Springerville. With Dr. Greenburg's experience as an addictionologist, we gained a new perspective to the current drug crisis. With Dr. Greenburg's job having been eliminated at WMRDC, the slot has again opened for new folks to slide in the co-host chair beside me and offer still another perspective. Our continued goal with the show is to be "Your White Mountain Radio Source for information on drugs, alcohol and recovery." Additionally, bringing hope to the addict or alcoholic and their families is our key mission on the show. DRUGNET is live each Tuesday night at 6 pm on 93.5 KSNX, streaming at 935KSNX.com. Listeners can call in with questions or comments or email us during the show at DRUGNETLIVE@Gmail.com.

Each month I write a DRUGNET article in The Maverick Magazine to further the educational component of the show.
