So. This took a lot for me to post. Which is lame I know. For years I had long, healthy hair. Then. Alcoholism. My hair broke off and thinned (did this happen to anyone else?!?!) and got brittle. I did everything I could to make myself feel better-changed the color, cut it, put in extensions…I’m super self conscious about it. Maybe it’s a girl thing. Anyway-finally am just owning it. Took out the extensions and had her cut it. It’s still growing back, and the broken off patches are getting there. Nutrient depletion from alcohol wreaks havoc in other ways besides just liver…first time in 2 years I’ve just let it be what it is. Thanks for listening!! (Left is alcohol hair. That’s what I’m calling it. You can see the brokenness😬)
I’ve done a full panel twice. I’m seeing a doctor and she’s getting everything take care of. I had nutrients, thyroid, and hormones all out of whack. I’m on a B12 supplement and like 200 other ones.
That made me LOL!!
Your hair looks good Jen I’m sure that over time eating good and just not having alcohol in your system your hair will begin to grow back healthy, it may never be the same but you can definitely see how much it’s improved
Thank you for saying that.
Congratulations on your 700 Days Anthony. That is amazing. Way to go!
Thank you very much!
Day 353 on call this week so no hiking just regular walks to get some time out with Dakota. That one year has been coming up, I’ve had mixed emotions about it but tonight is about feeling good so let’s bring it have a great evening everyone
Day 784
So grateful for my sobriety, this community and everything that has become better because of it
I am not sure how to take that.
Cute glasses!!
Why mixed emotions on your one year? If you don’t mind me asking…looks like a gorgeous evening!
Oh thank you!
It is, its actually pretty nice out considering it’s been a decent humid day probably nothing like what you’re used to. I’ve had mixed emotions on it cause it’s exciting but also not as thrilling as I thought it would be. I think because a typical celebration a year ago for me was much different than how I do things now, but I still plan on doing something nice for myself
Wait til you get there.
I was power walking with my music on and walking like a proud motherfucker. That was celebration enough. It was me, Madonna and Like A Virgin . And I’d do it again!!
Oh man I need an anthem for that day I’ll find it
That’s my boy
I cannot believe mine was Madonna. It just happened on my random playlist.
