Congratulations Jakeland!

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing your rock bottom with us - that takes a lot of courage. Thank you for inspiring us.

So what's it like for you to be alcohol free?

I deserve no Congrats but thank you. Fact is I drove my life into the ground by running it on self will fueled by alcohol. I was at the jumping off point, rock bottom. Death was my next step. That pain keeps me from drinking, keeps me willing to do anything to get and stay sober. I had no choice. 
Today my life is okay, I am not getting what I want but that is okay.

Today marks 2 years since my last drink. Two years ago today I woke up with no memory of March 8 what so ever. I knew I was out at the bars but no other memory of who I was with or where I was. My visa statement helped a little showed I spent hundreds at there locations. Hung over march the 9, It was a sunday, I made my way to the bar again to PARTY, to forget the fact my wife, kids, house, cars, boat and I hated myself. I turned to drink one last time to fix how I felt.
4 hours later left the bar with about 50 oz of rye in me. Got home and drank a little more. Then I hated life so much I took a bottle of pills, I was at rock bottom.
