		<description><![CDATA[Video game addiction: Like most things where addiction is in question, the behaviors and call signs are similar. There is an unquenchable desire for more, leading to irritability, anger, despondence, and isolation. Video game addiction isn&#8217;t a substance abuse disorder; it as a clinical impulse control disorder, similar to a gambling addiction. In other words, playing the game becomes a compulsive call to action. Role-playing games in particular can evolve into an addictive foe. &#160; Meet George. He&#8217;s 13 and he is always seen plugged into a device. It could be an iPhone, or his desktop computer, but he is &#8230; <div class="more-diva-2"><span class="more-link-2"><a href="http://www.visionsteen.com/2013/05/video-game-addiction-our-digital-foe/">Read More</a></span></div>]]></description>

One of the things I adore about Lianne is her infectious personality and sense of humor. She can make the mundane fun and she brings light and laughter into everything she does, even if it&#8217;s simply loading the printer with paper. Throughout the years, Lianne has worn many hats at Visions, and as a result, she understands the deep inner workings of what makes us tick.

		<description><![CDATA[Our speech is a powerful tool: What we say and how we say it can have a profound effect on whomever we&#8217;re talking to. If we are kind, it can change the trajectory of the conversation; likewise, rudeness and thoughtless speech can wreak havoc. Part of recovery is changing our actions and our interactions with others. When we speak wisely, we nurture healthy relationships with others, and create a safe haven for ourselves as well as for those around us. The times when it&#8217;s really difficult are when someone is being unkind to us. &#160; When you find yourself in &#8230; <div class="more-diva-2"><span class="more-link-2"><a href="http://www.visionsteen.com/2013/05/wise-speech-a-behavior-worth-modeling/">Read More</a></span></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Failure doesn&#8217;t have to be a dirty word. It can also be viewed as a stepping-stone to success, be it personal or professional.  In school, for example, failing a test shows us what we don&#8217;t know and what we need to study. Sure, the grade is bad, but the opportunity to learn is alive! The need to be right all the time is debilitating – it prevents us from being teachable and from learning new things. Interestingly, failure is what allows us to grow. If you never allow yourself to fail, you limit your ability to expand beyond your safety &#8230; <div class="more-diva-2"><span class="more-link-2"><a href="http://www.visionsteen.com/2013/05/failure-can-be-a-stepping-stone-to-success/">Read More</a></span></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Developing positive, healthy relationships are the one of the cornerstones in our recovery process.  One&#8217;s earnings or the size of one&#8217;s bank account doesn&#8217;t define success in recovery, though that doesn&#8217;t stop us from placing the expectations of monetary success upon ourselves. It&#8217;s not unusual to get sober and equate success in recovery with what we have, whom we date, where we live, what we drive, et cetera. In time, however, it is our cultivation of healthy relationships with those around us that are the true markers of success. Think about it this way: if the things we have define &#8230; <div class="more-diva-2"><span class="more-link-2"><a href="http://www.visionsteen.com/2013/04/cultivating-healthy-healing-relationships-in-recovery/">Read More</a></span></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SAMHSA recently provided mental-health professionals a working definition of recovery: “A process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.” The impetus behind this definition was to create something that reflects the &#8220;common elements of the recovery experience for those with mental disorders and/or substance use disorders.&#8221; While this is certainly a more clinical definition of what recovery is, it remains a valuable foundational reference for professionals working in the mental health and substance abuse fields. &#160; SAMHSA&#8217;s Principals of Recovery look like this: Person-driven; Occurs via &#8230; <div class="more-diva-2"><span class="more-link-2"><a href="http://www.visionsteen.com/2013/04/a-working-definition-of-recovery/">Read More</a></span></div>]]></description>
