Oct. 22, 2023 – “I began hiding drinking far more than I ever had before. I was hiding bottles of wine around the house, I was drinking at work,” she said. “A bottle of something in the laundry basket or under the bathroom sink became part of life. At this time, no one knew that I was drinking at all.”
As the problem got worse, it became harder to hide, and had a bigger impact on her health.
“I was also beginning to feel really sick. I had stomach pain—this turned out to be an inflamed liver—I was vomiting, bloated and red,” she said. Long-term impacts of excessive alcohol use include liver damage, heart problems, neurological and gastrointestinal issues, a weakened immune system and mental health issues.
