Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?
A. At the end I would take anything, classic poly drug user,  including Dr’s drugs.
The first drug I felt powerless over and LOVED was a stimulant. Uppers and booze were my yin/yang.
Sober since 12.12.01. ODAT.

Q. Is there anything special in your sobriety toolkit that helps keep you sober?
A. I see 12-Step recovery fellowships as the bread and butter that give me daily sustenance.
When I rock bottomed in 2001, I was a creative worker: TV director at the BBC, in Entertainment.
I became a qualified addictions therapist in 2005 and worked in the private and public sector- the National Health Service in UK, inner city youth through non-profit In-volve and Priory Healthcare.
