I fit into the 10% category for years while building my first start-up age ~22 - 30.
I fit into the 10% category for years while building my first start-up age ~22 - 30. I realized at some point it was out of control and I couldn't stop. The details are as ugly as anybodys addiction story but to most everybody else I managed to externally look "fine". I am the biggest contrarian and skeptic in the world, eventually sought out medical help and was referred to AA which I was very leery of. But I did it and recently celebrated year 2 of sobriety along with a way to address the stress, fear, loneliness of startup life. Not trying to hijack a data-thread into self-help but when I was out drinking I loved consuming these articles to feel like I wasn't the only one. Having spent some time in AA there are are a LOT of developers, entrepreneurs, hackers that are working the program too, if you're struggling with the alcohol monkey like I was it's a safe thing to at least check out.
