Addiction

"Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, the environment and an individuals life experiences. People with addiction use substances or engage in behaviors that become compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences. Prevention efforts and treatment approaches for addiction are generally as successful as those for other chronic diseases."

Addiction can kill. It can destroy - not only the addict but also family members, friends, colleagues.

Cherry Moon has given each of its collaborators the opportunity to choose an area in which we would like to make a difference -  I choose addiction.

Given that it is treatable like all other chronic diseases I propose to set up a 'Meeting Room'.

A safe space with a Certified Practitioner.

A space where people meet three times a week without shame or judgement.

A space to speak freely and seek help.

Help to break the cycle of addiction.
