Pandemic Challenges: Substance Use Disorder and Recovery Insights with John Shinholser and David Rook
“Peer recovery groups, smart recovery, different-step fellowships are out there, Aana, they're all you know they're doing their part. If we can just keep them from killing each other, they can love each other and they got a little bit of an advantage that somebody say: you know that's never had an experience with recovery but can't find it right now because you know there's not a whole lot of places.”
