Looks like a good read. I was a total believer of the tough love approach and recovered in 1990 with the old-school 12-step dynamic. However, once my partner's daughter became a heroin addict and going through that as a family.......recovering from my own relapse......and entering recovery in a totally different time and generation, I'm seeing a lot of differences even within the 12-step AA program I currently attend. It's really interesting to see and I'm not sure what my opinion is yet. I'm still needing to learn more.
