Randy Haveson has been working in the substance abuse field since 1986. He has a Master’s degree in Counseling and has held positions in agencies, private practices, and in the counseling centers of prominent universities around the country. Today he is an author, speaker, and consultant. His passion is helping people make positive choices in their lives and avoid self-destructive pitfalls. And he knows self-destructive pitfalls. In May, 1984 Randy began his own journey into recovery from cocaine and alcohol addiction. He likes to joke that he has an MA in Counseling and a PhD in personal experience. Now he’s using that experience to teach others how to not go down that same path. His favorite tagline is that he is a recovering alcoholic that teaches people how to drink!
