I drank daily. All day. I ate all the fried bar foods. I made jokes about 12 ounce curls and the only exercise I got was running to the fridge for another beer.
In 2016 I was diagnosed with an unknown cancer that was thought to be melanoma but later evolved into something doctors could not fully articulate. I decided to take my health into my own hands and healed myself holistically. It was my first crack at sobriety. I wasn’t going to heal my body as a drinker.
Our bodies have been damaged by poisons and we owe it to ourselves not to only allow the body to heal, but to assist it along the way.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can do it. You’re strong enough and you’re capable.
