INTRODUCTION

Hello!

My name is Kaitlin Kelly and I am a student of the Addictions Community Outreach program at NSCC, Kentville. As a component of this program we are asked to create a personal theory of what ‘addiction’ means to us. This assignment is intended to make us reflect upon how a personal philosophy will relate to our future work in the field of addictions, whatever that may mean. This will involve research into where our definition came from or how it was shaped, what the nature of this field is, the appropriate terminology we use, the impacts addictions has as well as who may be impacted and how our beliefs may shape our work in the future. As a creative means of presenting my personal theory I will be continuously blogging my progress towards creating and integrating new information, ideas and concepts which I identify with, until I have molded my unique outlook on to what addictions means. Bear with me as I organize and conceptualize a wide range of information and stayed turned for the final product where I bring all of my ideas together.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope to see you again soon.

Until next time,

Kaitlin
