This is a love story.

It is the story of the love that developed between me and my wife, and also my love for alcohol. It is the story of how a loving relationship and alcoholism can’t coexist. They just can’t. One will destroy the other every single time.

Sobriety doesn’t fix anything, but it is a prerequisite.

January 10, 2018 was the best day of my life.

That’s not my wedding day or the date of the births of any of my children. It’s not my sobriety date, either. That’s the day I sent over 3,000 emails to everyone who had ever given me their contact information, explaining that I was a high-functioning alcoholic, and that I had been sober for one year.

January 9th was the most terrifying day of my life. I was convinced I would be fired from my job, and I anticipated all the negative feedback I would receive when I admitted my affliction. It took every bit of courage I could muster to push the send button on the morning of the tenth. My decision to be open about my disease was rewarded in ways I never imagined possible.
