Aug. 16, 2023 – “Today marks the day before the day I was told I most likely have breast cancer. It marks the day before I went for my second opinion and was then sent on to have various scans ahead of my diagnosis a few days later,” she began, referring to her August 2022 diagnosis of early triple-positive breast cancer.
“Today also marks the day I stopped drinking alcohol,” she added. Hainsby then explained that she initially made the decision to ditch drinking to ensure that she stayed as healthy as possible while undergoing her grueling cancer treatment. However, “it quickly turned into the best decision I made for myself because everything positive everyone says about stopping drinking, for me, continues to be true,” she wrote.
She went on to share some of the positive changes she’s seen since becoming sober, among them mental clarity, better sleep, greater productivity and boosted confidence. “Funnily enough, I’m way more confident without a drink — who knew?” she wrote.
