Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?
A. Wine, fine wines, a few other drugs Sobriety date 4/24/1993.
Q. What do you like most about 12-step meetings?
A. I find great comfort in 12-step meetings because they resonate deeply with our shared experiences. They can make us laugh, bring us to tears, and create moments where we truly feel connected, as if we’ve all witnessed something remarkable together.
Q. Do you think addiction is an illness, disease, a choice, or a wicked twist of fate?
A. Without a doubt, I believe it encompasses all of these aspects. I have a real allergy to alcohol, much like my allergy to shellfish. It impacts my body on a cellular level, just as eating shrimp would. However, I don’t have a disease that drives me to consume shrimp to feel better about myself or to fit in and feel comfortable in my own skin. For a time I thought the wine was helping my self-esteem, instead it was eating away at it, always making matters worse, not better.
