Visible Contagious Addiction
• Addiction - the “SELFISH Disease”
• Addiction - a “disease” of exposure
• ‘Social contagion’, ‘Epidemics’, Families “catch addiction”.
• Collision between personal vulnerability and social
opportunity
• Active addiction is visible and contagious and attracts
vulnerable people in vulnerable families in vulnerable
communities
Visible Contagious Recovery
• Recovery – process of giving to, and being there for others.
• Recovery - a “process” of exposure.
• Catch it from other people in recovery
• Families “catch recovery”.
• Need to have people spreading recovery
• Visible people whose recovery is contagious
• People with wide social networks as recovery champions
