While the video seems well done, personally I'm someone who is finding it hard to relate to the "humour". To me, this video seems to mock Addiction and that is uncomfy for me.
Love it! A great way to reach out. We forget that humor can be a bridge in addressing very serious issues. It's a great way of reaching out perhaps to younger people as well. Lots of good positive way to address addiction using humor! I still believe that laughter is the best medicine.
One point: I would argue that cats are more like addicts and dogs are more like codependents! I mean have you ever tried to CONTROL A CAT?!! Not gonna happen. Dogs just want to please you. Keep up the great work. Love and blessings to you and your family.

John, I think it was a wonderful video and sometimes I think it is important that we are able to laugh at ourselves. I did like the disclaimer at the end that the dog delivered that these humans are serious about their recovery. It didn't offend me at all.

I agree with Karilynn, laughter is the best medicine!
Addiction is not WHO we are! It is a dark entity within us that HP can conquor. Laughter vaults us into the Light. It is the sound of recovery. I love it!

Thanks for the post, MIP, and all that you do. Humor is part of my personally. With humor you can make a valid point and bring on a smile at the same time. You did just that !!!

I think it is perfect! We obsess over all our issues seemingly daily. To remind ourselves there is more than just what is happening in our lives with crisis and recovery - is brainstorming and gets us through the tough times.
Keep up the awesome work John! You and your rooms are a light at the end of the tunnel for SO MANY! Thank you for all you do!
