The Silent Treatment: Addiction in America series went life on the web today, and all of the stories are now available free to newspaper editors — and to you — around the world.

If your local newspaper isn't running at least part of the series, why not call or email the editor and direct him or her to the McClatchy-Tribune Information Services website, where lots of informative content can be downloaded for absolutely no charge.

My three pieces, which make up less than twenty percent of the series and are a small part of the overall initiative, are:

From bottom to top: One family’s generational struggle with addiction

Pain, secrecy of addiction shapes ‘wounded healers’

Books, films and DVDs offer inspiration for — and staying — sober

Tomorrow from 2:20 -3:30 p.m. EDT, I'll be fielding questions live at this address.
