5 years sober!

Crazy to think in December of 2014, I was despondent enough to inject an entire Novolog pen into myself in an attempt to end the cycle of depression and drinking I was in.

I have a pretty good life these days. It's far from perfect, of course. I applied for another job recently and did not get it after going through all the interviews -- the job I have been doing for the last 4.5 years is niche enough that I am probably pigeonholed for my skillset.

But I also went trekking for 3 weeks in Nepal last fall and have my sights set on a couple of 14ers in CO for this fall. I have a more active and diverse social life than I ever had while I guzzled vodka at home, alone.

And I am not dead so that is a plus too.

    I celebrated 14 years in February and I feel the same way you do. So happy I am no longer a slave to the bottle. I never went to bars and drank, I did mine in secret, at home.

    The freedom I feel is the best! Congratulations to you and here's wishing you MANY, MANY, MANY more!
