A New Approach to Addiction Treatment
Addiction is a complex issue and therefore to make progress, it should be addressed from several angles for sure. So I'm excited to hear what you think about this and I look forward to your responses. Thank you. Bye

But you have to look at it also from the perspective of the context of that person and how they spend their time and who they spend their time with and what environments can nurture their whole life. And I think we're in a real crisis when people are isolated in their journey because they're wanting to see a way out and they might go towards some kind of treatment program. But they come home at night and there's nothing there for them to hold onto. And there's a lot of isolation
So I mean, there's like a macro and a micro, right. Individually. Yeah. Sure. We have individual things going on. But then there's a collective thing, in my opinion, I can't approach this work in dealing with my own addictions and then supporting others affairs without tackling the issues that are inherent in the systems that we all have to live by. The system that marginalized kids who are creative that don't come from rich backgrounds. Right

How well do we emotionally attuned to self and others? How aware are we of ourselves in Congress, in relationship, in community, with family, with community, with all of our endeavors. I think one of the biggest things that's in the way is that we focus on the outcome and not process. And I have really been inspired by people who systemically believe in trusting a process and that there is no straight line that this is a journey. It is a process. It is fits and starts
