Dr. Rob and Tami share their thoughts on what to do if none of your friends or sponsors are picking up the phone in times of crisis. It’s a horrible situation to be in, but the urges do pass. Whatever you do, do not go out that door to go act out. If the people in your life aren’t showing up for you in a way that you need, then go out and find the right sponsor and people for you.

[20:15] Addiction is a disease of disconnection. If you disconnect, you’re probably going to act out.

[29:45] When you’re in your anger, you’re in your healing. Dr. Rob explains what he means.
