Connection is important

Someone shared this link on my feed today and it really spoke to me because of the recent death of my father due to alcohol related illness and his isolation.

It links to this other story

And a Ted talk

The problem of loneliness is huge in our society. Let’s avoid loneliness and live integrated lives with support.

I’m so sorry to hear about your father.

Thank you for sharing I read the article and it is so true. Unfortunately we as a collective in many cultures have lost our ability to connect with others or our understanding of the importance of connection. We put it on the back burner allowing careers, television shows and the accumulation of items to be our primary focus. I think that’s why meetings and a sober community are essential for so many in recovery the community and connection heals and gives us what we really need.
