Belonging: The Magnet of Hope

Have you ever thought about what the opposite of addiction is? The easy answer might be sobriety. But let me ask again: What is the opposite of addiction?

Justin White suggests just one word—connection. The recovery program he leads has grown into the largest in Indiana, and for good reason: it’s a magnet for belonging.
