Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?
A. Anything UP – coke, crystal, prescription speed, and of course something to take off the edge. Opium and more.
Q. What do you like most about 12-step meetings?
A. The stories. The reminder of how bad it can get and where I never want to go, and the miracle that took place.
Q. Do you think addiction is an illness, disease, a choice, or a wicked twist of fate?
A. I think it’s a kind of disease that generally doesn’t spread but mental wiring that can be activated by associations. I don’t believe in twists of fate or luck, that there’s a principle of Random Hostility built into the fabric of being and some creator going, “You’re going to be blind; you’re crippled…you? I’m gonna give you a break.” Perhaps karma is more reasonable.
