I’ve been sober for three years, and the first two were hard. I relapsed after one year of sobriety, but luckily my best friend was there to help me through it. Nicola is my wife, she didn’t let go of her grip until I got back on track. For 10 years, my whole life was consumed by chasing that high, running away from the consequences and trying to get a break from the world. But every time the high ended, the world would hit me like a punch in the face.
