Some time later, I found out that driver was watching out for me that night: He was a sober guy, and he took me to a friend's place.

But, even that night, & a similar night in NYC, didn't do it. It turned out that what did it for me was when I just couldn't do it anymore.

That was June 27, 2010. As I told a friend later, I'd always had an excuse for my drinking: good things, bad things, stress, whatever.

But, in late June 2010, I found that I had no such excuse, and yet that I was still as out of control as ever with my drinking.

So, I started dealing with it. I talked to people, I found help, I stopped drinking, and — eventually — I changed my way of living.

My life over the years since has been such a gift. And that's not because it was all easy (it wasn't) or all good (it wasn't).

Life has, however, been so ~different~ over these past sober years. ... Just knowing I won't black out or be hungover was a start.

But since that became my new normal, so much more has come about because I was able to stop all of the lies that went along with all that.

And, once that became normal, I was able to start dealing with still other things I'd been avoiding. It's just a constant building process.

@chrisgeidner ditto. It's been far too long, & I barely tweet anymore. But I read your stuff all the time & am so excited for your success
