I'm calling my 30's the lost decade - lost to addiction, depression, and workaholism. The last 18 months have simultaneously been the hardest and best in my life. I got sober, went IP and got my meds fixed, found a new job that's much lower stress that is allowing me to continue oupatient treatment for alcoholism, and I am learning to play the harp which is a passion of mine. I sometimes regret screwing up my 30's so badly, and feel like I'm behind my peers, but today I can honestly say that I feel hopeful about the future & that I can make positive changes in my life that will make it what I want it to be.

So hang in there - things can get better.
