After getting myself into the hospital twice, once in a coma and once in rage, escorted by ambulance and police, rehab twice, this has been the longest time in a while that I’ve been sober and stayed sober. I have difficulty with both short and long term memory, especially short, but I constantly keep my phone with me and make notes of anything important I need to do, immediately, just in case I forget. That helps a lot. For a while I felt lost because I felt I’d never regain my memory or be able to work again since I’m a web developer and memory is basically the core of my job. I’ve been taking the blank slate so to speak and using it to learn entirely new languages that I never would have before. So, not only do I have all the old stuff that may take a little time to recollect, but I’m learning a ton of new things that combined will make me extremely valuable in my field. I am taking this “time off” to do things I never would have had the time to do before, in an attempt to not only enjoy life but to learn more and more, to ultimately make working, income, easier for me to attain. Once I feel I get there and I can get back to living on my own, I will start to rebuild to rest of my life. All I see is a road ahead of me. Idk where it’s going yet, but I’m ready to start walking.
