Brian, Thank-you for this straight-forward article. I do interviews with women in recovery at 1 month, 6th months, and 12 months. I won’t say where because. . . . .

How does somebody actually learn to live a sober life without mentoring that fits the person? Their brain is like tangled skein of yarn? How do they investigate their trauma history and the possible harm they caused? This is still part of recovery.

This is exciting and frightening at the same time. Keep sharing what you find out and if you can find the funding for evaluation investigate what a respectful interview looks like (with statistical) from the people who are participating. I’d share, but . . . . .
