5 years ago this week, I was writing the biggest npub1u00djvjjpk6vm09z8vrrkjpnj0s9favacchm00w8qw4ae4ptussq8upzgc (npub1u00…pzgc) blog in the APAC region, and one of the biggest in the world at the time, with over 120,000 followers.
One night, while drunk, depressed and suicidal, I deleted my Medium account and everything I had ever written. Burned it all down.
A couple of months after that, I came to terms with the fact that I was an alcoholic.
Ever since then, I've been rebuilding my life, my career and my work.
it gets better.
