Successful on the Outside, Lonely on the Inside: Our Hidden Epidemic

Author: Laura Young

I say “Loneliness. Isolation. Invisibility.”

You ask “Eleanor Rigby?”

I say “No. Your co-worker. The person next to you in the grocery store. The new CEO they just hired. The person who just repaired your washing machine. It’s all around you.”

Relationships: Last a Lifetime

Relationships: Last a Lifetime

Author: Jan Verhoeff

Stepping into a new position brought along a few surprises. People I grew up with wandered into my office, smiling a bit in surprise, and content to greet an old friend.

While the above-mentioned elements of a persons overall recovery plan are crucial to his recovery, another major factor that will greatly influence an individual’s continued abstinence is how he is able to handle the breakdowns that happen in life.
