We can believe that most of us now are addicted to something. The list is long… in addition to alcohol, drugs, eating disorders, self-harm, gambling and sugar, we can now include the internet, our phones, social media, and even Brexit!

Maybe not everyone is suffering especially if unaware of their compulsions. It is for those who are struggling with their behaviours, and who really want to change what they are doing, that this path through addiction is important. 

This evening, Carolyn will speak about the roots of addiction and what makes us need to continually abandon ourselves in something else, the “other”. She will consider the range of experiences that can lead us to the place where we feel unable to change and from there, will explore ways in which we may find a path through addiction.
