I used to love to read, I used to love music, especially classical. I volunteered for a homeless charity. I worked out at the gym. I hold down a good job, I manage people. I inspire and lead them. I've realised that I have left all of those hobbies I loved behind. I work, I drink, I spend time with my beloved family when I can.
I want it back now. I want my life back. I want to get back who I am, and be able to enjoy life without relying on alcohol to numb my feelings. My daughter gave me a little pep talk yesterday, she told me to reduce my hours at work and go back to volunteering, or go and get a degree in something different. She believes I am capable of anything. I used to believe that too. I want my life back, it may not have been perfect, but at least it was mine.
I have asked for the help I need, I know my job will be supportive, and I just need to use all the resources available to get back on track. Including this place, it's inspirational. Thank you everyone
