About Michael Cartwright
Michael Cartwright has over 20 years in recovery. During that time he has developed experience working in the behavioral health community and is known as a premiere addiction industry trailblazer, and noted behavioral health entrepreneur. He has learned how to not only put drug and alcohol use in his past but also how to thrive in recovery by envisioning what he wanted for his life and then enacting a plan to accomplish it.
Cartwright wrote the book Believable Hope: 5 Essential Elements to Beat Any Addiction with Ken Abraham, with the goal of empowering readers with the tools to overcome dependence upon any substance or self-destructive behavior. For people living in active addiction, the book has been a lifeline to long-lasting recovery. Cartwright counsels readers – people diagnosed with addiction and their concerned friends and family – to recognize the signs of addictive behavior, create a vision of the life they would be able to lead if addiction were no longer an issue, and then create an actionable plan to turn that vision into a reality.
