i was married at 25, and quit my job at 38, but my ex did introduce me to over seas travel.. so i would say the only impact he had on it was actually opening my eyes to the world, and that i will be forever grateful to him.

I actually didn't get sober fully for the final time until i was already traveling for 1.5 years. I cut way back when i was traveling tho, and traveling actually helped me see that i did have a problem with alcohol, previous i thought it was me disliking my job, then on the road i realized it was all me, and i had to figure out why i was not happy, and alcohol was a huge driving force in it.. now that i quit and its been over 1.5 ish year.. i realized i just had a lot of emotions to process.. and medium and writing is probably what has been helping me the most. I always wanted to write years ago, but was scared and no idea if its all related or not, but somehow by trial and error i have gotten sober, and started living simple and have more joy.. its crazy how life works.. wow.i guess i had a lot to say to that question.. thank you for asking this..
