Q. If you are in recovery, what was your DOC and when did you discontinue its use?
A. My drug of choice was heroin; I’ve been in remission from opioid use disorder for six years.

Q.  Do you believe leaders are made or born?
A. I think leaders are made. Addiction Policy Forum’s Founder, Jessica Hulsey Nickel, whose parents’ opioid use disorder led her to experience homelessness and foster care as a child, talks about turning the pain of our losses into fire in our bellies. Whenever I’m having a rough day I think of that phrase, translate pain into the drive to help families and communities impacted by addiction.
