The desert has long been a place of retreat, personal quietude, and inner healing.

Are we at more risk? Economy and Addictions

The current economy is elevating our collective stress levels and making us feel financially vulnerable and unsure about our jobs, careers, etc. Everyday, we are barraged with media and stories from friends and families about how the recession has affected them. Some people are turning to their 'ole addictions to "help" them through all of this uncertainty and stress...the manure of addictions.

Some of the things you can do to avoid having Amy Winehouse as your roommate by February is:

1) Watch limited 24/7 news programs
2) Start watching your alcohol, marijuana and other chemical consumptions
3) Strike more of a balance in your life including: working out, spiritual practices, healthy social connections, study/read
4) Keep close to people who support you for WHO you are, not for WHAT YOU DO for a living
5) Seek professional help if you cannot control your behaviors

If you, or someone you know is struggling with addictions of any kind...please call our HelpLine at (888) 429-7342 and speak with one of our recovery counselors. The cost of not getting help can be great. Call today!
