Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?
A. My drugs of “no choice” were cocaine, alcohol, and weed from time-to-time. Decades after I gained sustainable recovery, in 1994, I had a “run in” with narcotic pain meds. Today I count my recovery journey as starting on Aug. 6, 1989.
Q. What do you like most about 12-step meetings?
A. The community of “We” continues to attract and sustain me.
Q. Do you think addiction is an illness, disease, a choice, or a wicked twist of fate?
A. Addiction is an illness, in some ways much like other chronic conditions and very different in others.
