Hi Allishope and others

Monday morning here 06:00am

It seems the big problem with all of us , is how to manage stress.
Quote from a book I'm reading:
According to Gabor Mate,MD, in his book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
"people need three things for addiction to occur:
a susceptible organism, a drug with addictive potential
and stress"
And then further on:
"There are countless stressors in lifee, and we can't avoid them all. But psychologist Bruce Alexander has found evidence that the most common stressor that causes addiction is the basic desire for connection, something many of us seem to be missing"
This is why SR has become so important to me , because here we can connect and share and feel like part of a community/fellowship/family

Have a non-blue Monday xx
