01 What it was like

Pure hell. I hated myself, I hated my relationship, and I hated my life.

02 What happened

An impaired driving was the straw that broke the camels back. That's all it took and everything fell apart. So I made a lifelong commitment to stop drinking.

03 What it is like now

Nearly 8 years later it feels like a lifetime ago since I last drank. I don't miss it and everything is great!
