Let me preface by saying I was very unhealthy. Drank every night till I blacked out, Dr said i had 2 yrs to live if I didn’t quit. My hair was thinning, my liver was fat (right side of my body was swollen) due to the fatty liver.
By day 30, my family is a little calmer, my hair is drastically thicker, my face is not blotchy red.
Feelings are coming up that I would usually numb away, these feelings that I get show me I’m still alive. I am thankful. I wasn’t. I am present. I used to not be. I have confidence to talk to strangers…it’s only been 30 days. I am a thankful person, when before I felt as though I had no purpose. I hope this motivates at least one person to stay sober.
There were days when I really wanted a drink, but I’ve heard, if you reach out for help, you don’t have the right to drink, and that kept me sober during that hard time.
