MODERATORS
Started as experimenting with drinking, found that I liked weed better, experimented with pretty much everything else, got arrested and put on probation, failed a drug test and was confronted by my parents, then went to rehab.
Rehab got me sober, Alcoholics Anonymous kept me sober.
The biggest reason I was able to get sober is that I actually wanted to. By the end of my addiction, I wanted to stop but couldn't.
The biggest reason I was able to stay sober was AA. Going and working the 12 steps.
