Thanks to technical difficulties we have the first part of our first two-parter. And our first cliffhanger!

Dave knows first-hand the "confusion, heartache, and despair" of a parent to a child addicted to heroin. In the midst of his feelings of helplessness and hopelessness he worked his way into a plan that would turn his son's life and his own around.

Originally recorded January 28, 2015.

Clip: The Lost Weekend f. Ray Miland / 1945 / http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037884/

Jeff, Matt & Chris return refreshed and renewed with a wide-ranging, edge-of-your-seat recovery chat. At times aimless and unfocused and at times meandering across barely-related tangents, you won't want to miss this very special episode.

In which Jeff, Matt and Chris discuss getting sober, staying sober, triggers, N.A., rehab and more!

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."—Not Albert Einstein*

In the interest of demonstrating our sanity, Jeff, Matt and I went to a SMART Recovery meeting (http://smartrecovery.org). Then we talked about it.

*The earliest verifiable instances of the quote are:

Alcoholics Anonymous / Step 2: A Promise of Hope (pamphlet) / 1980

Narcotics Anonymous / The Basic Text of Narcotics Anonymous / 1981

As persons in recovery what is our responsibility to others in recovery?
