Hiking to Sobriety

Back in 1999, when I was newly divorced and just over 50, I learned of a new wonderful and healthy activity. It was all about hiking the trails and climbing the hills of Connecticut. I threw myself into this new adventure with "complete abandon." The problem was that I was drinking daily and would be for the next 12 years. It wasn't until 2011 that I realized that my health was failing and my life was in jeopardy because of alcoholism.
