Further Confusion 2015

What can we do when the party stops being fun? For many people, recreational intoxication is a safe and even healthy part of life. Some of us, though, can't use in safety. This panel aims to provide information, camaraderie and a venue for open discussion of an issue that can be difficult to discuss. It's open to anyone - whether curious, concerned about themselves or another, already working a program, or somewhere in between. The panelist brings both practical and academic experience, as a doctor (PhD) of neuroscience and a person in recovery. The use of time will be flexibly divided between an informal talk on addition and recovery - including insights from modern neuroscience - and time for group discussion modeled loosely on recovery meetings and/or free or guided meditation.
