Guess what, lard barge, everywhere except the US, there are more harm reduction recovery programs where you don't quit cold turkey, you learn to manage your drinking or whatever and many of them are more successful than abstinence programs.   Please tell me there are stats, this is very juicy information and the public needs to be more aware of it.  We have a bullshit addiction mentality here where if you screw up once, welp you might as well binge, because you have failed.  Oh god yes.
