Chapter 59 - Globetrotting

I knew that I needed to make some serious changes or I was going to lose Jess forever.

I began seeing a therapist regularly and we started trying to uncover why I felt so much social anxiety and why I had a pattern of self-destructive behavior.

I quit drinking and I started doing meditation and yoga to clear my mind. And, even though I was against it originally, I began taking small dose of anti-anxiety medication.

I had never felt better in my life, and I kicked myself for living the way I had for as long as I had.

Six weeks after I started therapy, Jess and I got the green light to head off on our now much-delayed adventure to Japan. We had two months before I had to start shooting my next project, Neighbors, and we were determined to make the most of every second.

We had no idea at the time, but those eight weeks abroad would forever change the trajectory of our relationship with each other in the most unexpected of ways.
