Why do you choose not to use drugs or alcohol?
Maybe you want to stay in peak physical shape to reach your athletic goals. It could be that you want to get to first chair in orchestra class or exhibit your art in a local gallery. Perhaps you want to stay at the top of your mental game to compete in academic tournaments or get a scholarship.
Who inspired you to stay clear of substances?
Did someone special to you lead by example? Did a sports legend, musician, or artistic mentor’s success encourage you to stay clean? Or, did someone in your life suffer from substance misuse, and it showed you the dark side of when it stops being a weekend party thing and becomes their whole life?
