My anti-drug is Theater. Acting, singing, dancing, all three are important to me and help me cope with stress and other problems in my life. Acting and being in shows is so important to me and there is really no feeling that can compare to being on stage and making people feel emotion. Theater keeps me busy and gets me passionate about performing, distracting me from drugs and other bad habits. Theater gives me an adrenaline rush and helps me cope with stress. Addicts use drugs to fulfill those needs, but I have theater. If I did drugs my love for theater would be tarnished and I would not be able to be passionate and express those emotions. Acting is so important to me, and it keeps me clean.
