Recovery | Alcohol Abuse Advice

There are as many answers to that as there are people in it. At last count I read that there were 13 million people “in recovery”, but, I have no idea how they figured out that number or where I even read it a few years ago.

What amazes me about all the people (and clients) that have shared their recovery with me, it still amazes me how some recovery ‘groups’ are likened to religion – that theirs is the only one that works and none of the other ones are real.

We have all learned a lot over the last 20 years. We have learned that there are many ways to recover.

6/8/2009,Poll: Obama Is Not Putting Americans to Work in a Way That Promotes “Sweeping Economic Recovery.”?

Question by Ryan C: 6/8/2009,Poll: Obama is not putting Americans to work in a way that promotes “sweeping economic recovery.”?
Agree or disagree?

In December 2008, The New York Times quotes Obama, saying: “We will create millions of jobs by making the single largest new investment in our national infrastructure since the creation of the federal highway system in the 1950s,” See http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/07/us/politics/07radio.html . In fact, in January 2009, the Obama administration released a report, titled: “Job Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.” On page 5 of that report, it states: “With Recovery Plan”-the unemployment rate will not rise above 8% in 2009 and in 2010 but “Without Recovery Plan”-unemployment rate will go up to 9% and no higher. See http://www.thompson.com/obamaeconplanjan9 . However, right before the signing of the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” on February 17, 2009, vice president Joe Biden released a statement saying that only “400,000 Jobs to Be Created Nationwide by Investing in our Country’s Infrastructure,” See http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/VicePresidentBiden400000JobstoBeCreatedNationwidebyInvestinginourCountrysInfrastructure/ . Accordingly, “Unemployment Rate Soars to 8.1% in February,” See http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/business/jan-june09/jobs_03-06.html . “The nation’s unemployment rate jumped to 8.5 percent in March,” See http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/04/03/business/main4915973.shtml . “Unemployment Rate Rises to 8.9% in April” (See http://www.ttnews.com/articles/basetemplate.aspx?storyid=21875 ) and 9.4% in May.
