The Opposite of Addiction is Connection

Two 

Two things I've come to understand about addiction are the desire to not be present in ones life either due to circumstance (environment/ past experience) or not having enough meaningful connections.

You see happiness does comes from within but also comes from outside, experiences and relationships, therefore it is not always enough to push the self love message when dealing with avoidance behaviour. When helping addicts, its important to encourage positive relationships as part of the healing process and utilise compassion as a route to recovery.

Hope Visits Yaba Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital 29th April 2017

"The second edition of #HopeVisits was an overwhelming success. We took a risk and because of you, it paid off. We did not do the usual - show up, give food, drop clothes and be on our way. We did so much more. HOPE demands that we do so much more. This time, we the hope bearers stormed 'Yaba Left' with lots of fruits, drinks and food. We put smiles on the patients' faces as they watched The Wedding Party (just picture it). We actually sat down with them and had conversations about life, challenges and their message to the world. Because of you, we touched over 379 lives at Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba with goody bags containing toilet paper, bathing and washing soap, sponge, deodorant, sanitary toilet, and so much more."
