It really isn't a healthy thing and, like you said, it's not fair to the other people that are in the group, because it changes the dynamics of it.
Ever wondered how to make relationships work while you're on the path to recovery? Lea and Jim dive into this tricky subject in an engaging episode of 'Recovery Talks'.
