The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it's connection. - Johan Hari @ TED

Off topic. But she looks like the host of a 70s public television children’s show. 😏

[account_advanced]

that may be so, but then what’s the opposite of sobriety?

[JacobBrownFailForward]

I love this so much, because I live it.

[FlixandPixels]

Or maybe the opposite of "addiction" is just "freedom"

[ajpi]

Shouldn't the opposite be like a healthy use of the substance?

[crayonparfait]

Was this recorded in the 70’s or is that just her style?

Can't we get sober without support? That's a bleak outcome if we can't. But of course you can! Support helps for sure, but it's only an extra tool to help you get better

Testify! I'm begging. There's no one out there I've been on the waiting list for a specialist for 3 years. I just want to go to Zumba. Yoga. Church. All inclusive. Anywhere outside. I want to paddle board. I wanted to swim. And I need a part and I am flabbergasted but what I'm going through. Thank you for this. Do you keep doing you

Off topic. But she looks like a 70s Kate Middleton in dungarees.

Too bad they dont pay these people nearly enough

Cmon Ted, let’s have Leslie van Houten giving a talk on how to avoid cults. Or the mental bouancy of cult serial killers.

You could also never stop using and have a great life, millions of Americans do, especially people like myself who suffer from severe chronic pain. You can't just tell us to stop taking painkillers and replace them with Tylenol and ibuprofen.

Tylenol severely damaged my liver and Ibuprofen gave me an ulcer. That's gonna be a no from me dawg, I'm staying on painkillers for the rest of my life, but thanks anyway.

The vocal fry plus content shows how little this person cares about the subject

[hbgriss]

Theres a-lot more than that 😔 and alot more NOT in recovery . Gulp.

Understandable message, but sobriety is in fact the opposite of addiction. If u tryna say everyone is born with addictions ur delusional
