My early experience in recovery was really about learning. Every tool that I’ve had available to me, I have soaked up and utilized.
Paul’s unhealthy drinking and drug use led him down a path that included divorce, gambling, and writing bad checks. Paul credits treatment, plus the camaraderie gained through a recovery golf program, with helping him let go of resentment and speak up for himself.
