There are over 23.5 million people in the US that suffer from addiction and millions more worldwide. Studies have showed that addiction is caused when people lack a sense of belonging and love they feel bad with themselves and so to avoid the feeling they escape to drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling ext.

In Retorno (=to return in Spanish, because everybody starts off good!) a rehab center outside Jerusalem that treats all addicts regardless of their race or religion the motto is \"Ohavim Otcha\" which means in Hebrew \"you are loved\". Saying this to everybody sincerely creates an environment where people feel loved and wanted and thus don\'t feel a need to escape to the addiction.
This is the environment we hope to create in our global community. A world where every person knows that he or she are loved (and feel it as well). Such a world would be free of the destructive force of addiction. Just imagine a world where you are surrounded by people telling you through their shirt: \"You Are Loved\". Indeed, it will be beautiful 
