You can see from my comment history that I have a history of problems with alcohol also.
I have spent many Christmas's holed up in motels alone with a bottle, thinking "what's the point?". You think going through that one year would be enough, but it wasn't enough to learn my lesson.
It's no place to be, but it CAN get better as you've pointed out.
I noted in a prior comment I went from a senior software engineer to a homeless shelter.
I'm back to being a senior software engineer.
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays everyone.

- SamPatt 4y agoAlcohol senior engineer who ended up homeless? In my experience that's always a dude. Women have their lives fall apart in different ways. I'm willing to make a gendered assumption occasionally.
- bitexploder 4y agoIt’s like the Rust design philosophy. It’s a zero cost abstraction.
- bag_boy 4y agoSame here. I remember thinking the depression/drinking would never end. It did. Life is great now. Merry Christmas
- AlecSchueler 4y agoWe're you ever happy prior to the depressive periods?
- bag_boy 4y agoI think so, although it’s hard to define what happy means.
