Golden Collier: Breaking Barriers in Recovery
“I think one of the things I really liked about SMART too, was that, and I think refuge, excuse me, recovery dharma is like this too, in that it's not really about one type of kind of attachment to something. You know, I'm in there because I'm working on not drinking.”
