Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?
A. My sober date is April 7, 2002. Pot was my drug of choice; I gave that up on November 25, 2000, but I abused many drugs and alcohol.
Q. Is there anything special in your sobriety toolkit that helps keep you sober?
A. I have a village. It takes two sponsors, two therapists, a God squad, and a lot of “fellows” to keep me as sane as possible and sober. God letters have been an invaluable tool, and the Serenity Prayer has been the most consistent help to me from Day 1 through today.
Q. Where are you from and where do you reside now?
I’m from New York and got sober there. I was then bi-coastal for some years, attending meetings on both coasts. LA has been my home for 20 years.
