Intro... 23 years clean
Greetings, my name is Tim. I’m a person living in long-term recovery from addiction. For me that means I haven’t had to use alcohol or any other drugs for the past 23 years. I almost died in 1992 after destroying my 4th motor vehicle while driving drunk. I’ve achieved most of my recovery by working 12-step programs. I switched to SMART recovery and joined the New Recovery Advocacy Movement (NRAM) in 2017 because the scientific approach appeals to me. Today I seek to expand my social network.
