"I can't have a problem bc I just ran a 1/2 marathon so I deserve a _______" Insane. My body is still healing from the stress drinking had on me and my gut health was trashed from all that sugar. Stopping drinking was hard. Getting my body healed has taken longer, but I'm doing GREAT!!! The idea of alcohol just makes me cringe and the smell makes me wanna puke.
