Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?
A. Alcohol was my best friend. I used everything else on top of it. My sobriety date is 3/9/1989.
Q. Is there anything special in your sobriety toolkit that helps keep you sober?
A. Still meetings, also meditation and prayer. And laughing.
Q. Do you think addiction is an illness, disease, a choice, or a wicked twist of fate?
A. When all is said and done, my bottom was a spiritual bottom and an existential one, so I like the term spiritual malady. Also an illness of the mind and body.
