Presentation by Dr. Adi Jaffe, the author of The Abstinence Myth and founder of the IGNTD program.

Dr. Jaffe believes all of us who continue to fight the fight against substance abuse are heroes because we haven't given up. He also believes that one solution, abstinence, does not fit every individual. Abstinence as the traditional treatment choice leaves 96% of those of us who identify as problem drinkers unwilling to reach out for help. Of the 4% of people who do attempt abstinence, less than 10% will succeed.
