Fantastic video
Just watched this. What a great message. I particularly love the bit about the sober community, how instead of being based on achievements itβs a place where connections are formed on vulnerability. That wherever we get to with our suffering, attachments, addictions etcβ¦ We have things in common and by allowing help into our lives we can change and help others change too
not my cup of tea but well done on 19 years
I particularly like that he talks about addiction as a social dilemma, taking the onus off the individual for a moment and acknowledging that society has an impact on the rampant addiction that exists as a way for people to even just cope with life these days. Regardless of the reason, whether itβs access to addictive substances or simply a need to escape, life is hard. I can only speak from my own perspective here in America that the pull yourself up by your bootstraps ideology is not a healthy way of showing people how to live a fulfilling life. So to hear him talk about addiction being a societal problem, what Iβd call a public health issue, is comforting. I wish I could figure out how to watch this in half time, because he talks so fast for my brain! Iβve watched it a couple times after seeing it on Instagram this morning and I donβt think Iβve even captured half of what he is saying. Love it.
Congratulations
