In the post, she also shared a quote by Scottish writer Johann Hari.
“‘You’re not alone, we love you,’ has to be at every level of how we respond to addicts socially, politically and individually.
“‘For one hundred years now, we’ve been singing war songs about addicts. I think all along we should have been singing love songs to them… because the opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection, Johann Hari,” she wrote.
