After nine years continuous service, Daily Dose makes a last entrance today, 26th March 2010. Sadly, we have been unable to attract sufficient sponsorship to continue operating.
The site will remain so that you can continue to use our archive, which dates back to 1st January, 2002.
As Editor and Founder of Daily Dose, I would like to take this opportunity of thanking our 8,000 subscribers for their continued support. We are sorry that we cannot continue to provide you with a service. I would also like to thank our current sponsors for their support over the past year.
My sincere thanks to Nathan Pitman, who developed our current website and content management system. I am also grateful to Jim Young, Sarah Davies and Ash Whitney for their help over the years in making Daily Dose such a success.
Finally, I would like to thank the Trustees of our charity Wired International Ltd – Mike Ashley, Tony Beddow, Wynford Ellis Owen, Canon Peter Williams and Jeff Zorko – for all their help and support during this time. You have my deepest gratitude.
Wired In will continue to maintain and further develop our online recovery community, which is going from strength to strength. We also intend to develop new services in the future.
I leave you with just a few of my favourite links.
Thank you.
My best wishes.
A sad day indeed and perhaps a milestone. Hackneyed though it is, I still love my fallback position ‘Onwards and upwards!’
I can’t believe that a sponsorship can’t be found for this service. I currently work in an FE college and run drugs awareness sessions and have found my ‘Daily Dose’ invaluable. It’s a place where information was readily availiable and always up to date and current. It’s a place where everything was together and saved hours on research as every day I would receive my e-mail and be able to gather all current information directly without having to spend hours surfing the net. It brought relevant information, personal experiences, newspaper articles from around the world together.
I’m really gutted this service will be ending. What a shame.
Thankyou to everyone who was involved with Daily Dose and good luck with everything you do in the future and hopefully a similair service will be developed in the future.

Sorry to hear…
Hello David,
I am saddened to hear of the demise of Daily (& Weekly) Dose.
I have been an avid reader for the last seven years, since being referred to your site by a friend. Both myself and my friend have substance misuse careers spanning over three decades formerly as service users and latterly as volunteers and subsequently substance misuse practitioners.
We’ve both found it an invaluable resource to keep up to date with practice and national and international research and opinion.
Many thanks to yourself and Jim Young and others who have worked on the site over the years.
Glad to hear that Wired In to recovery is to continue.

There is another site Booers : DS Daily (edited by Jim Young) run in association with Drug and Drink News. This kicked off fairly recently and is very similar to Daily Dose. Not as good in my humble opinion (no doubt it will develop) but I’m biased and really sorry to see Daily Dose go.
I’ve been tracking this day for quite a few years now on the SMMGP site which also hosts a blog-type forum.
Bad news, bad day, relieved only by the determination of practiioners and service users to continue to share information with – and support – each other here and elsewhere.

Hi David
Sorry to see the site close the info has been most helpful to me and my colleagues here at DRUG ARM Australasia.
All the best for the future
