I find that writing and sharing ideas is a process. Did you ever get a hand written letter in the mail from a dear friend? That feeling of real connection is transmitted through text and the TIME you know a person spent contemplating YOU. Looking forward to continued dialogue!

All things in balance and measure!" I couldn't agree more Lee, and I think the same is true in prevention and coalition work. Thankfully we have some choices to help us get through those time when we can't be together - especially in these tough economic times. I find the time spent online actually makes the time we spend together face-to-face even more special, yes? Thank you again for connecting. “Nothing beats a face-to-face meeting for a recovering addict.

An online presence can be very powerful for both recovery and prevention networking. Nonetheless, nothing beats a face-to-face meeting for a recovering addict. All things in balance and measure!

There's so many ways for us to connect these days and tech is changing so fast. More ways to - communicate - and collaborate online these days that help and comfort are literally a click away. Social networks are also coming on strong - since they offer discussion boards within the network, friending, messaging and a whole bundle of social media options. One example is a start up network for people in prevention called, <a href="http://connectedcommunities.ning.com" rel="nofollow">Connected Communities</a>. Maybe you'd like to join and help make it a lively place? Nice work and I am with you - we are just getting warmed up to how social media can help us help others and be in relationship for the common good.
