“The longer I’ve been sober, the less I did breaking and entering level things. My secrets are now stuff like being sad about something my kid’s struggling with or being disheartened by something at work, feeling down on myself, and I always just think I’ll figure that out and I’m kind of embarrassed to bring it up with somebody in my network.”
