The opposite of addiction is connection!

Chemical dependency? Happy and connected lives? In Viet Nam 20% of our troops were using loads of heroin. When they came home, 95% of them just stopped!

What if addiction isn't about being hooked on chemicals? What if addiction is about your cage? Is the person bonded and connected with others? If not, you will bond with something that will get you some sense of relief. Do you have bonds and connections you want to be present for? If you have a crisis in your life who will come to sit with you? Your Twitter followers? Your Facebook friends? No, it will be flesh and blood friends whom you have deep and nuanced face-to-face relationships with.

You are not alone. We love you! The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection!
