hello there! <3 new here and just came from a long stay recovering from alcoholic pancreatitis. doctor told me if i kept drinking, i'd live a miserable life in and out of the hospital. :( she told me i needed to stop or i would regret it. my mom died of cirrhosis a year ago due to drinking and drugs. i've felt so guilty due to my alcoholism and didn't feel the strength to stop despite previous medical visits. now i am a week sober and staying strong for my health, my mom, and my peace. :,)
