Terry is a peer counselor at an outpatient clinic in New York but his main job, like he says, is being a sober man. 

He was in 7th grade when he first tasted alcohol, and though it didn't get out of hand at that time, a pattern was formed.  Anytime he picked up alcohol he went "go hard or go home." He hated the taste but loved the feeling. 

Things did not get awful until later on for Terry.  When things were going well with coaching varsity sports, he met someone who had a very tumultuous life that introduced him to heroin. And that was the drug that brought him to his knees.
