“There are many myths about addiction recovery and relapse… I believe that education into what addiction, recovery, and relapse are and what they are not, is very important to learn and understand.  I will work very hard to help you; however I will not work HARDER than you. It’s your recovery and it doesn’t come cheap. Hard work and constant vigilance is the price for your recovery and maintaining it on a long-term basis.”
