The Recovery Place Rehab Center: Learning to Live on Life’s Terms www.therecoveryplace.net (877) 360-7623 The Recovery Place rehab center places extreme emphasis on helping clients like Jim learn to rejoin the community in a positive way. Jim has been clean for three years now, and feels this is due to the transition he was able to make from inpatient rehab to a semi-structured residential program and then into sober living housing. He wasn’t just treated for 30 days and cut loose to struggle on his own. According to John, CEO of The Recovery Place and clean himself for 10 years, “many of us who were abusing forgot how to live life without the drugs.” Learning to live in society in a healthy and positive way is a huge and important part of treatment at The Recovery Place, a Florida based residential rehab center.
Question by NorthernCA/FL: Recovery from alcoholism. I go to more meetings than he does. Is that dangerous?
I have 18 months, he has three years. He was a drug addict as well (me, too–speed, but primary alcohol). In the beginning, we talked all the time about our program, our meetings, sponsors, Higher Power, etc. It has been five months that we have been seeing each other. He is also working nights, and going to school part time. I have noticed that he goes to a meeting a week, and is pretty cynical about the “sappy” people in AA, who “hide in the program.” I am one of the sappy ones…AA saved my life.
Best answer:
Answer by :O) No. Good job I hope you keep up the good work.
Question by miss b: My boyfriend is a recovering crack addict. How do I best support him in his recovery?
Or, are there any assurances that he won’t relapse? We’re getting really close…I’m thinking that he’s going to propose over the holidays.He was clean and sober before we met, but I understand the 12 step philosophy that there is no recovered addict. I suppose, I just want assurances that y’all can’t give…but I’m asking anyway.
No, “once an addict, always an addict” isn’t true. I work in the mental health field…people can and DO change…it’s a belief one must have, esp. when one is in that profession. And Ihave seen people in my own life who, after they sobered up, stayed that way the rest of their lives
Yes, he was going to NA meetings before we met…he chairs the Friday meeting.
He’s been clean for nearly two years.

Ringo Starr’s cover of Hoyt Axton and David Jackson’s “No No Song” was included on his 1974 album Goodnight Vienna. It was a number-three hit in the US. The song describes progressive attempts to sell Colombian marijuana, Spanish cocaine and Tennessean moonshine to a recovered addict who refuses it all. Video Rating: 0 / 5
Question by toddly1: New Alcoholism Recovery Book – Ad Was on TV?
Within the past six months I have seen advertisements for a new book on alcoholism recovery. The ad features a father and son talking about how their book works. I am interested in learning more about it, but can’t remember the name of the book nor their URL. I’m pretty sure I will recognize it once I see the name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your answer about The Cure, but that isn’t the one I’m looking for. The one I am looking for talks about recovering, not about curing.
Best answer:
Answer by Altru-man I think it’s called the cure but I don’t give it much validity. As a recovered alcoholic for 17 yrs plus today ( to the day ) I found only one thing that worked with my alcoholism. These books don’t approach the curious twist that happens to alcoholics, namely the phenomenon of craving that develops when an alcoholic begins to drink that makes it impossible for the alcoholic to stop. There is NO cure for this component of alcoholism except for total abstinence from alcohol . The other components of alcoholism, namely the mental and emotional factors, sometimes take years of therapy to bring about a recovery state of mind and lifestyle. An alcoholic can NEVER safely consume alcohol regardless of how long it’s been since their last drink.

DonInLondon 2005-2010 Two wrongs can make us righteous and still we may not be right. Two rights can end up being wrong. Ten years after the “twin towers” and all the awful acts in that year the consequences are still unravelling. I could see what would happen over the next few years as did many others. I am sober today; looking back at those intemperate times, there is hope locally and globally. Just for today, I need remember and cherish everyone always… Why were others less hard working than me? I always thought I worked harder, strove harder to prove I was a worthwhile individual. Fear of not being good enough was always there in the back of my mind. And resentful when others were less hard working and what I thought was less committed. Driven to work hard and needing self-worth and always fear pushing me to deliver. I had no clue about balance in life, full steam ahead in every direction, squeeze the last drop out and be the life and soul of anything and everything. Did I have a zest for life? Hiding a great big misunderstanding about most of life and living. Which made me able to see all the faults and festering others did not really get to see in their own lives. So if I could not sort my own life, I got good helping others sort theirs. Living by proxy, feeling right by helping anyone and everyone feel right about their chosen path. Work hard and play hard, booze hard, party hard. Happy? Hardly, as I looked for the next right action, next right work, next right … Video Rating: 0 / 5
Question by sherry p: where would i go for information on how to help with recovery of alcoholism?
i have a ex who is wanting to work things out when he gets out of rehab and starts recovery, i want to help him but i don’t know anything about his recovery and want is best for me to do to help him through this. i live in texas if that helps
Best answer:
Answer by Timothy I’m sure they have AA meetings and i think you should encourage him to participate or continue to go to AA and see if he would like u to go with him, if u would be willing to. Otherwise you can find an AA meeting by maybe talking to the court house, and go find information if your really interested in helping him. I think that it’s outstanding that you are trying to help him through this, i think more people should strive to help people recover when they choose to, because a lot of people never choose to stop. Thank you.
