"The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection," stated New York Times best-selling author, Johann Hari.
At Sobriety Engine, we're building connection.
Form Deep Connections
“Human beings have a natural and innate need to bond. And when we’re happy and healthy we’ll bond and connect with each other,” Hari explained. “But if you can’t do that — because you’re traumatized or isolated or beaten down by life — you will bond with something that will give you some sense of relief," he stated.
As a resource center and accountability group, Sobriety Engine is designed to help you stay sober by building connection, gaining coping skills, and finding community to gain the lives we've always dreamed of having!
