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

A. 12/27/2012 – alcohol, substances. I have been in and out of treatment since I was 18 years old. I struggled with the idea of letting go of control of my life and did not trust that anyone had my best interest at heart until “all my score cards read zero” and I was faced with a near death experience that forced me to be open minded enough to the idea of change.

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

A. Community, spiritual principles, fellowship, being a vessel in someone else’s life and watching their life transform through practical application of willingness, open mindedness, and honesty. I love the anonymous component on a group conscious level where no dues or fees are required to host a meeting. I love that there are meetings available all over the world and resources available.
