How to control addictions, or why groups help?

Facing addiction problems alone is hard and scary. Groups can give strength.

• talk only if you want to, no pressure

• no substances consumption during the meeting: water only, no smoking 

• event is free, donations will help a lot (online donations via mycelium) 

MAIN MESSAGES

the world is broken, not us – how to fix it? we talk. that is a start already!

we are all different and thus we seek help & recover differently. 

how to respect that? – i will ask the group each time what would they personally see as triggers.

what should we avoid doing or saying? so each live gathering might have additional rules according to sensitivities of the participants. please respect them. 

how to respect our differences and triggers and still talk about addictions openly? please share your ideas or concerns with us via moon@sicut-dico.com

chicken and egg, IN A NUTSHELL 😉

chicken & egg dilemma or vicious circle, name it as you like, but here it is:

the more pressure we feel – the more we crave escape – then we develop addictions and need to escape from them too. sometimes we just trade or substitute addictions. but do we really escape?

we try to ban drugs without understanding that our bodies are the most sophisticated drugs dispensers ever existed, we can’t ban nature. we need to understand and take control. everyone needs to find what makes them happy. sounds easy, yet reality is hard.

for many of us even basic formula of healthy living is hardly accessible. sensible nutrition and active lifestyle, essential for good mental health and for support of our self-love and self-confidence, become somewhat of a luxury. even the knowledge itself of some specifics of your body is a privilege, as it is only available to those who have access to medical services.

how to change it? how to survive it?

together it’s easier. and even though we might not have much money, but what we have is our community. for many rich people it’s an unknown luxury.

if you feel like it is somehow fucked up, you are right, it is. humanity is going into a dangerous direction.

but you still can enjoy life.

YES, YOU CAN!

IT IS HARD. BUT YOU ARE NOT ALONE
