Jeff’s catchphrase “It’s the isolation that destroys us; the solution is community,” might be the perfect explanation of the human experience.  I think everybody has become more acutely aware of this in the last two years.  

Those of us in recovery from substance abuse have been aware for some time.  The World tends to push us in the direction of isolation, for some reason; it encourages us to keep our problems to ourselves, to marinate in some level of shame and guilt, and not to ask for help or offer it.  And everything positive in this life has at least a slight tendency to dissolve those barriers.  

No matter what you are going through, no matter how extreme or unique or shameful you are convinced it is, others are going through the same thing, and still others have successfully gotten through it. Sometimes they are just down the street, or sometimes they are all across the country and on a Zoom meeting on Monday nights.  God bless Jeff and his group, it is a tremendous source of help and relief to so many defendants, convicts and families.
