“Before I arrived in San Francisco I lived in Miami, Houston, Hartford, Denver and a bunch of small towns in between. And every time I moved to a new city I told myself I'd stay clean.
I've been clean before and I've had my own businesses. But then I relapse and find myself starting over.”

Almost 30 years ago I left California for Arizona with some vague idea that I’d leave my issues behind. But when I arrived in Phoenix I met myself at the bus depot.
Moving had changed nothing. Things only changed when I faced my addictions and got into recovery.
