Sometimes the rock bottom isn’t a dramatic moment. Sometimes it’s just a Tuesday night after your restaurant shift, a few drinks that turned into several, and a 7-mile walk home that ended with you on the ground at 2AM, bleeding from your knees, calling an Uber because you couldn’t walk anymore. Sometimes it takes two more years and two more ER psych crisis visits after that before it finally lands. Before you finally see the grip alcohol has on you.
The application is simple: hitting bottom doesn’t always look like what you think it will. But when you finally put it down, every single day without it is a milestone worth counting. Today is day 341. And if you’re struggling, there is a better way.
That is the application. The rest is the source code.

About two hours and several drinks later, I found myself on the ground in the Columbia neighborhood at 2AM, bleeding from my knees. In my drunk 7 mile walk home from work, I took a major fall. I was in so much pain that I called an Uber to drive me the rest of the way home.

It would be two more years and two more very intoxicated ER psych crisis visits before I finally realized the grip alcohol had on me.
I will learn in a few weeks what damage alcohol and my fall may have had on my brain.
