2. Failed breathalyzer

   mimifromtx replied to remorse's topic in Recovery

   Well, technically you may be correct with respect to the BON requirements...however that doesn't necessarily hold water for the individual state monitoring programs. Monitoring programs are almost as bad as finding yourself in front of the BON. I p...

8. The Business of Recovery

   mimifromtx replied to mimifromtx's topic in Recovery

   I would like to clarify that despite what my own experiences have been with the "Recovery Machine", I am not meaning to totally bash what SHOULD be a great way to get sober. I know that there are some who would never get clean without being sort of f...
