As the sun sets and the moon rises, a story (or two). Seven years and one day ago, I was blacked out before sunset. I missed it completely.pic.twitter.com/SfxOtjeqic

I decided to do something. I realized I didn't have the answers. I started asking for help. I made changes. And, I stopped drinking.
That morning was June 27, 2010. Every day since, one day at a time, has been a gift.pic.twitter.com/oBCINC3qBF
My life is unimaginable to me. I have a family I love and who I love to be around. I have amazing friends in DC — and all over the country.
I have a job that is so much more than just a job to me. It is a career, of course, but I also get to do what I love, with support.
I have ridiculously talented co-workers, amazing editors — and I work somewhere that wants me to be honest about who I am on my terms.
I still falter every day. I still fuck up, I'm still impatient, & I still forget, at moments, that's it's OK not to know & to ask for help.
But, I've learned so much about myself sober. I know there's another day ahead of me, and that I needn't beat myself up.
Today, I got to end another term covering the US Supreme Court. I got to wish a colleague and mentor off to retirement. I live my best life.pic.twitter.com/UKWnP4GWnI
And, tonight, I watched the sun set.pic.twitter.com/ydqGILV00f
These past 7 years weren't of my doing. I've received help at every turn, long before June 27, 2010, from many, many people. Thanks to them.pic.twitter.com/xQPLTbofe9
If you are unhappy with your drinking or drug use, talk to someone you trust, find someone in recovery, or google around. Help is all over.pic.twitter.com/AE1oEXZyqY
For me, today is a day for thanks and gratitude — but also for living the life that my sobriety has made possible. And I had an amazing day.pic.twitter.com/mRP37GNAIS
It's nighttime now. I am grateful. Another day I'm ending without a drink. That's all I need. The rest is a gift.pic.twitter.com/d6XL2Xbbb5
