The 5 essential components of a successful sober program are:
2020-03-16 11:21:28 Let’s be clear. There are many paths to a sober life. Yet this is one of the major disagreements within the recovery community. We all seem to be so deeply entrenched in our own method and utterly convinced that our way is the only possible way to get sober. To the point that if you don’t do it my way, we believe you will drink and then you will ... »
