Baby boomer stereotypes didn’t start with, “Okay, boomer.” Far from it. They didn’t start with Woodstock either, my groovy dudes. Wherever they started, let’s try and give it a rest. Right after this:
RECOVERY ROAD POT HOLES AND HUMPS
Recovery road is paved with promise and hope. Most of all, it’s paved with compasses to stay on track. Whether recovery involves substance or emotions, staying on track is vital. How does that work?
