Your reticular activation system is designed to keep you safe, and we use it in everyday life. Look around the room for anything that's blue. Today, people that can't afford one but are struggling with addiction and sobriety have a lifetime membership, which means you are basically taking care of somebody else. This is a holistic approach for everybody.
