Hi tbh

I wish I could say that I'm some kind of medical clairvoyant or something and that I know absolutely for certain you'll be fine.

I can't do that tho - noone can.

I drank a lot - at the end I was an day drinker.

It seems inconceivable to me that I not only survived that but I've lasted 12 years beyond me quitting with so little damage from all that foolishness.

I know people who did not drink as much or as long as I did who sadly are no longer with us.

I feel very privileged yet profoundly humbled to have this second chance when others have not.

I think there's something to be said for living each day like it was your last - not in a macabre way, but a joyful one.

Live your life like there's nothing seriously wrong with you because, in all likelihood, there's probably not..

Forget about the guilt and the shame that have you looking over your shoulder waiting for a price to be paid.

Many of us have already paid that price simply by the hell that ended with us ending up here.

Hug your children, love your husband and follow your dreams.
This fear of bad news will fade in time, I promise.
