Feb. 2, 2022 – My daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia just a couple of years ago. I remember vividly sitting in the hospital room as the doctor came in, sat us down, and begin talking through the diagnoses and treatment options with us. We were shocked. Just a few weeks before, our daughter had been a happy, healthy child, and now she was dealing with cancer that was in her blood stream. The Doctor talked through the various options for treatment. One of the options that were offered was to do nothing. This was not promoted as a good option, but one of the options. Obviously, we chose to do something and give her the full medical treatment prescribed and promoted. As I think back on my recovery from alcoholism, there are many similarities to the recovery of a cancer patient. All leading medical providers list alcoholism as a disease. Mayo Clinic has designated a significant portion of resources to studying it. There are millions of people that are diagnosed and not diagnosed trying to recover from it. The similarities between recovery are stunning.
