The Harry Potter series to me is about choosing to live..

I'm 28 years old and I'm a recovering addict who has been sober for 7 years. Getting and staying sober was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I did... and by doing so I chose to live just as Harry did. Similarly, to Mr. Potter I had some of the most loving, kind and courageous people helping me along my guided path towards vanquishing evil; without them I, like Harry would most certainly be dead. Now Harry Potter is my drug of choice, and one that I tend to overdose on regularly.

I met my wife in recovery and were married 8/21/07. She gave birth to our beautiful daughter Celeste on 2/1/11.

So what does Harry Potter mean to me? Everything.
