Like many other nights, I had started drinking in the late afternoon and was not exactly sure which way was up by nightfall.

I had a birthday party to get to, and I made it there, although (I was later told) there was concern I would fall into the pond in the yard.

I went elsewhere after the party that night, and I kept drinking. I drank, I suppose, until friends cut me off, the bar did, or it closed.

In the years since, I've heard so many people talk about their last drink. I don't know what my last drink was. I just have no clue.

But, the next morning, when I woke up, I knew it was enough. Too much. ... I'd had another bad night two days earlier, just like that.

I'd had countless other bad, and many worse, nights before that. For years before that. But, for some reason, that morning was different.

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.
