SUMMARY:Addressing Addiction
DESCRIPTION:Addressing Addiction  ADDRESSING ADDICTION\n\nDate: Sunday\, Ap
 r 7\nTime: 12:30-2 pm\nLocation: Fireside Room\n\nPresenter: Rev. Melissa 
 Thompson\n\nRegistration: Not required\n\nIn a 2015 survey\, the National 
 Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)\, part of the National I
 nstitutes of Health\, reported that about 10 percent of Americans are livi
 ng with a substance use disorder. Process addictions such as overeating\, 
 video gaming\, and gambling are on the rise as well. Most of us know someo
 ne who has faced adverse consequences from addictive behaviors\, perhaps e
 ven had our own struggles\, sometimes with heartbreaking consequences.\n\n
 In this session on addiction\, healthcare chaplain Melissa Thomson will ad
 dress the basics of alcoholism and addiction\, speak about how recovery pr
 ocesses and programs work\, discuss psycho-social aspects of the diseases 
 of addiction\, and suggest caring\, supportive practices for friends and f
 amily members of those living with addiction. Our UU belief in the inheren
 t worth and dignity of every person and our UU tradition’s encouragement
  to spiritual growth can be great assets in navigating the challenges that
  come with living with these disorders. This session is open to all levels
  of awareness and interest. Privacy is important when speaking of addictio
 n: no individual sharing will be required to take part in this session.\n\
 nRev. Melissa Thomson serves as a chaplain at the Kaiser Permanente Hospit
 al in Redwood City.
