In this episode, I recommend two materials that have been very helpful and that will be helpful to you. Whether you are working with one person or a small group, these materials will help to develop a relational model of recovery that focuses on conversation. It is important NOT to teach these principles in each workbook but to "circle up" and have conversations together.

It is time that we talk about these things!
