It is well known that the lack of a strong community is a primary reason for failure in long-term recovery programs. Having a strong community is not only good, but also essential to achieving success.

Johann Hari spoke at TED in London about the study and what he discovered after traveling the world to better understand addiction. It’s well worth 15 minutes of your time to watch the video. It will change the way you think about addiction!
