I work with The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. I sit proudly as one of only two recovering addicts on their board.

Getting sober just exploded my life. Now I have a much clearer sense of myself and what I can and can't do. I am more successful than I have ever been. I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.

I'm not a prophet. I'm not a teacher. I have no degrees. My degree is from the University of Life.

My husband and I are very different. Our company is called Syzygy Industries, which can mean a pair of opposites. And that's exactly what we are. Yet there is obviously a very strong pull toward each other.

Life is not supposed to be this calcified experience where you don't change.

It's not that I'm retired, I just no longer accept acting work.

Getting sober was the single bravest thing I've ever done and will ever do in my life.
