Q. Do you think addiction is an illness, disease, a choice, or a wicked twist of fate?
A. I believe it is a disease and when you are active there is no choice.
Q. If you ever retire, would you prefer to live by the ocean, lake, river, mountaintop, desert, or penthouse?
A. I would love to be in Montana.
Q. Is there anything special in your sobriety Toolkit that helps keep you sober?
A. I would say the most important part of the sobriety is to be involved in AA by completing the 12 steps, having a sponsor that holds you accountable, and sponsoring others.
