I don't think the point of the treatment center is to get you sober. That's something we're going to try and help you with. So, like you said, whether you're writing an essay, writing a poem, writing a song, just learning to play your instrument a little bit better, learning to dribble a basketball a little bit better, being able to make the shot from behind your back, whatever it is that sense that life has challenged ahead of us in a positive way, and I can see myself getting a little bit better than I did Yesterday.
What does recovery look like deep in the heart of Texas?
