Addiction recovery research. Tors ago, i kept trying convince dr. Clark that the best way to have any research was to people and track people. He was the director. You suggested my attitude was a bit of republican conservatism and not very american. However, today as years of past, i have a thing on my wrist called a fitbit that keeps track of every step i take. Lotsk at people and i see of piercings and other things. Me that at some point we need to really become a tracking mechanism for people who do research so people will if youactly what happens move into an oxford house, get involved in the democracy of a house, learn the kind of selfreliance and selfrespect that comes from oxford house.
