The really big news:
QuoteHe spent 14 months in the drug court system, he says, scrubbing toilets and cleaning fairgrounds. "I've been sober for two-and-a-half years," he says to applause. "My children are happy. In August, my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour. And in September I'll play a solo concert at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic." That last part really impressed the Hill crowd.
I love that dude is SER about his sobriety.
:beers:
Yeah, trey!
Hot find, +k.
So there's someone who works on Capital Hill who is a phan?
lots of Deadheads up there, I would be surprised if there weren't any phans

2 and half a years is no joke. I am very impressed, and proud of everyone around him that has helped in the process. Going through that alone, even though in a sense you have to, in your mind, is not easy.
Oh, and good find!
:clap:
Thank you, Trey, for stepping up.
And, yeah, there's plenty of Phish Fans in DC.
:clap::clap:
its cool that hes there, but i really enjoyed the information below about the drug courts v. prison..
It's all real, man.
And right on, Trey.

I got a speeding ticket in Essex Co., NY summer of '07--about an hour from Whitehall--and when I showed up in the town courthouse to plead a few months later, most of the other defendants there were drug court cases. It was cool--DA and judge both were still serious, but respectful in a way I haven't seen when dealing w/ those accused of property & violent crimes.

:clap:
Way to go Trey! News like this really puts a smile on my face, it's so great to hear that he is taking sobriety seriously and is in it for the long run.
...anyone else find it humorous that this came from the Huffington Post? :lol:
WTG Trey. Keep coming back duder. It works if you work it brah. One day at a time.
YAY TREY!
:evil: :-D :evil:
nice find, +k
He's only going to get better. Face it folks. He knows he's stepped up. I mean just look at him. Has anyone else seen him this happy and/or healthy in years? I know I haven't. Trey you are the man. :clap:
+k for this post, deuce. :-D
Not only is he sober, but he seems PSYCHED about it!
I mean, not all recovering addicts take the time to travel around the country giving speeches about sobriety, I think that is a great sign.
