I’m an alcoholic. But 2 years ago, I took my last sip of alcohol. The last 6 months have been the hardest but I am so proud that I’ve stayed away for 2 whole years. At the height of my addiction, I was drinking 750ml of vodka daily. You can do it to. Lmk if I can help ❤️

Hey friends, Due to some unfortunate and unexpected circumstances, I am in need of a new job If you or your company are looking for a remote, mid-level (2.5 years exp), Ruby on Rails full-stack developer with dev-ops & OSS experience, I’d love to connect. RT’s appreciated🙏

If Ruby has millions of developers, I am one of them. If Ruby has ten developers, I am one of them. If Ruby has only one developer, that is me. If Ruby has no developers, that means I am no longer on this earth. If the world is against Ruby, I am against the world.

Exactly 5 months ago today I smoked my last cigarette. I was a pack-a-day smoker then and thought it was an addiction I’d never break. On top of the health effects, it had ruined relationships, and led to some really bad times in my life. I’m so happy that’s all behind me now

Officially one year clean from cigarettes. Literally accepted it would eventually kill me but didn't think I'd ever be able to quit, but here we are. If you're a smoker and want to quit, there is hope. I promise.

It's officially been 3 years since I took control of my life back from alcohol. It's been a hard road but I'm much happier with the sober version of my life. I never thought I could stop drinking so trust me when I say it's possible if it's something you struggle with too.
