ChangingThe old saying is true: You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. It's the same with addiction and recovery. People can take away our drugs and put us in treatment, but no one can make us clean and sober. When it hurts enough, when we're scared enough, when we're sick and tired enou...
