“Continuing bonds are not an alternative to grief-work, but more a result of it.”
Lisa Irish, Grieving - the Sacred Art: Hope in the Land of Loss

Christopher Dines
“The process of recovering from addictiveness happens at a deeper level of consciousness and through feeling our pain without using old addictive fixes. There is no escaping that getting in touch with our original pain is the touchstone to mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.”
Christopher Dines, The Kindness Habit: Transforming our Relationship to Addictive Behaviours
