Today marks FIVE YEARS sober!

To paraphrase Courtney Act, “Daddy Stephan did crystal meth, so you don’t have to.” Consider my experience all the research you need to avoid doing it yourself.

My meth use started at 18 and continued on and off for the next 16 years. Tina had a way of resurfacing whenever I got too confident or let my guard down. Different approaches to recovery, including safer use and targeted abstinence, helped along the way until I found a path to sustainable stability.

Today, staying sober means going to therapy, attending CMA meetings, and working with a sponsor. I’m an active participant in both my recovery and my community.

Sobriety has given me the stability to weather difficult times and achieve lifelong goals. I’m married to a man I adore, I’m a loving dog dad, and I finally landed my dream job as an attorney for an entertainment company, a goal I’ve pursued since graduating law school in 2017.

If you’re struggling with substance use, you don’t have to do it alone. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery, and there are many paths to finding what works for you. 💙
