Social medicine, we just talked about that.
Some things that could help that will weirdly downriver affect pain is like better boundaries, creating healthy social connections, healing trauma.
These things all impact your experience with pain.
My other curiosity was, again, I brought up AA.
AA has abysmal success numbers.
Is that true?
It's in the, like, 30%.
But... I did not know.
Relative to the other treatments, it's an absolute miracle.
You can look at it one of two ways.
If you want to just go, like, only 30-some percent of people who go there end up getting long-term sobriety, sure.
But versus the alternative is, like, single digit.
People don't just quit.
I mean, very few people just...
white knuckle it for the rest of their lives.
So I'm curious, we know how abysmal the outcome of chronic pain treatment is with doctors.
It's in the low, you know, it's under 50%.
What kind of success would you say you were experiencing with this more holistic?
