30 months without a drink, and 2000 miles ran! I've never looked like this!

I should add a few things. I drank for 20 years. I'm 39 now.

30 months ago I hit .453% blood alcohol. If you've ever hit half that, you know I had a bad time. Withdrawals were a nightmare and made me suicidal. I lost all hope.

Thank God I found running! I have a very good friend for a coach, and even ran Grandma's marathon this summer in Duluth! Time was 4hr26mn. I was aiming for 4hr but pulled my hamstring half way through.

If your in hell and think there's no way out, keep breathing!

I'm so fucking proud of you man. Honestly, I've been struggling with a lot of things lately. Drinking out of stress, not being able to buy food, working a new job that I'm not sure I want to be in, two kids that I have a hard time seeing... You've given me some much needed inspiration tonight. Thank you.
