    Chrispus Kimaru's story mirrors mine. I worked for Safaricom, got fired, although mine wasn't alcohol-related dismissal, but rather ENT issues. I started doing online writing around 2014 and that's when my alcoholism started. I've been to rehab 4 times but still relapsed. Only God came to save me. When Chris talks, I resonate with everything he says. Good work bro. I'm definitely going to look for you.

    I remember as a small boy hearing a family member describe H. E. James Gichuru who was then the minister of defense as an alcoholoc. I thought Wow! that is what I want to be when I grow up; an alcoholic in the Jomo Kenyatta government. Thanks be to God my dream did not come true.

    I wish I knew this much many years back when my father was struggling with alcoholism and eventually took the 'easy way out' as you mentioned but then again i was too young. Thank you for educating us and i wish you nothing but the best as you continue building yourself up away from the painful past.

    This is one journey that I relate with in so many levels. From the first drink to the guilt of hurting loved ones to lost opportunities and suicide thoughts and then to that one devine decision that leads to recovery. To date, I am almost 3 years sober and everyday is a gift. Thank you for sharing your story Chris

    I follow Chris everywhere 😅. I don't struggle with addiction and that's that's blessing. But he inspires me aloooot. I also get to understand addiction and how to he of help to an addict. His story never gets boring or told alot, I believe this is a cause God has put in his heart and I manifest the support network he is envisioning. May grace abide 🙏🙏.
    Also God bless James - he is a true one.

    It's a really bitter experience. I went through the same but I thank God i did quit in 2012.I resigned more than two times but my boss was very supportive.You keep on trying to end it all because you feel lonely, hurt and hopeless. It's quite unfortunate that you get comfort in knowing that death would solve it all. It's an internal struggle one has to win at all cost.
