Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?
A. I started drinking when I was 13, and that quickly led to stimulants at 16. I became heavily addicted. When I was not using stimulants I would always go back to alcohol. Sobriety Date was July 18th, 2008.
Q. Is there anything special in your sobriety toolkit that helps keep you sober?
A. Yes, a durable commitment to never put drugs and alcohol into my body. I made a decision and that decision never falters.
Next is a durable commitment to never entertain the thought of drugs or alcohol for even a fraction of a second. A strong spiritual connection to God. Staying humble.
