I have been saying that for a year and a half now. Long overdue for sure but at least it happened. I could sit here and replay the last two years of my life but I'll hit the major points:
- Got arrested
- Got a job
- Got arrested again
- Tried to commit suicide
- When to the "hospital" (mental health facility)
- Kinda sobered up (but not really)
- When to the hospital again (mental and the real one)
- Had it explained to me that if I kept drinking I was going to die
- Sober as of December 18, 2018
- Legal struggles because of choices (see above)
- Got fired (see above)
- Got a much less desirable job (see above)
- Began the process of un-fucking myself
- Survived the pandemic
It's not really until I type this all out that the gravity of it hits me.
So today, I thought about this blog and decided to take a stroll down memory lane. Yikes. A few notes:
- Some of these posts DID NOT age well. I used unfortunate terms but am leaving them for now.
- Most of these posts I wrote while drunk. Ok, all of them. With that said, my grammar wasn't awful for being a fall down drunk.
- If you are reading these and thinking "This guy is always blaming everyone else and nothing is ever his fault" you are 100% correct.
With that being said, I am going to re-open the blog and write more. I cannot promise insights, political correctness, or answers to any issues but I plan on being sober. This time, I am aiming for an honest accounting of my dating life and if I am capable of "The Big Happy".
I hope so.
