The Rising of Lost 0
Many years ago now, I had a terrible habit that I never meant to have, that very nearly took my life. I managed to ruin much of what I had built up over years of mental and physical toil, not to mention making a mess of my family. Eventually, my ludicrous behavior put me where I belonged, in the hospital near death, which took me almost three months to recoup my mental and physical stability. The mental took much longer but I was well enough to come home to an empty house. Alcohol, in a word.
That was back in 2013 when it all caught up with me and rapped me solidly over the head. How many years I have been doing this escapes me but it seems like Vietnam may have been the catalyst. A catalyst is no excuse.
This is where the name, “Lost 0,” came from originally but since then I have put my house back in order, including family, and shot out the other end. I have never gone to a meeting with AA. I came out, eventually, with a stronger mind, not a smarter mind, and faced all the reckonings I had to face to put my life back together.
It was the bible, long unread by me, that helped me get all the loose ends tied in neat knots. However, I now have a new definition for “Lost 0” as I think of it as working with code for websites. One lost zero will spoil an installation if the zero is a piece of the code. There you have it.
