What is this Blog?
This blog is intended to be
a connection point for recovery support services personnel and/or any other professionals interested in recovery, recovery management, recovery advocacy, public polices and legislation concerning alcoholism and addiction issues and/or any other topic connected to recovery from alcoholism and addiction with the focus on recovery as the solution. It is also open to anyone in recovery or wanting to be in recovery and/or their family and friends. Recovery is a reality and it is time to start focusing on the solution of recovery instead of focusing negatively on the problem. Stigma must be eliminated: Anyone can become an alcoholic or become addicted to a chemical substance given a variety of situations and circumstances. No one is immune. Alcohol and addiction are progress and chronic when untreated. There are many pathways to recovery and just because one did not work; it does not mean an other pathway will not. (See pathways)
