Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?

A. Marijuana. Thanksgiving 2017.

Q. What do you like most about 12-step meetings?

A. It’s a leveling of the field. We’re all wounded and damaged and in need of help. No one is better than the other.

3. Do you think addiction is an illness, disease, a choice, or a wicked twist of fate?

A. A deliciously wicked mix of all of those.
