(Preview)
"No one is forcing us to give up our misery." Basic Text, page 29 It's funny to remember how reluctant we once were to surrender to recovery. We seemed to think we had wonderful, fulfilling lives as using addicts and that giving up our drugs would be worse than serving a life sentence at hard l...
