I've also learned to no longer feel guilty if I'm invited out and don't want to go. If I start to say to myself, 'What's wrong with you that you're staying in five nights in a row to watch 'Forensic Files' instead of going out with your friends' I remind myself that it's what I need to do for myself at that point.

There is no question that sobriety has made me a better actor, made me a better person.

In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.
