addiction recovery ebulletin making addicts feel needed
October 12, 2018 – Brooks seized on the quote. He asked himself if he needs people on the margins of society, eventually landing on this insight: “If we truly want to help people, we should need them.” Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, spoke Friday at Sen. Mike Lee’s 2018 Solutions Summit. Titled, “Instead — Connecting for a Cure,” the all-day event focused on combatting opioid addiction in Utah. In the morning, about 5,000 high school students filled the Vivint Smart Home Arena for a fast-paced mix of speakers — including many who had battled addictions such as UFC fighter Court McGee — songs, cheers and video clips, as well as a short film produced by the Mark Wahlberg Foundation. The message was how easy it is to lose oneself to the lure of opioids and how deadly that can be.
