The article features an easier softer way to address the death spiral caused by addiction using a program called ‘Harm Reduction’.
"…harm reduction" support group for people who want to reduce their alcohol intake, as well as private therapy with the social worker who runs the group, she's cut her drinking to about half of what it was a before she sought help.
