Title: Article about Addiction & Recovery indirectly relates to cPTSD
Post by: C. on December 26, 2015, 11:42:49 PM
I came across this article from a friend and wanted to share it w/the forum.  It's about addiction to "drugs," but the recovery method applies directly to those recoverying from cPTSD in my mind as well.  I found it inspiring and thought I'd share it here too:

Sure.  And if you don't have much time to read I shared the article b/c of the main idea which is that the "opposite" of addiction is not non-addiction or stopping drug use, it's healthy connection w/other people.  I think I saw how important that is w/our own recovery.  The biggest healing for me has been in connecting w/other people in a healthy way.  An interesting couple of experiments too.
