Our Christian Rehab Recovery has treated such severe alcoholism that the patient had pancreatitis that was almost fatal. The last time we checked in with that person on a monthly sobriety check, they were perfectly healthy and doing well with only moderate permanent damage. Below is what he told us during that check-up.
“I’m doing great! My doctor said even though my pancreas is still not 100% and might not ever be again, my liver is starting to heal! That’s good news! He was honest with me just like you guys were. I probably took about 20 years off my life, but I’m gonna try my hardest to make all the time I do have really count. I wish I had called you guys way sooner but I’m so grateful for my life back! I can never thank you enough!” -Bobby age 39
“Bobby” may not have until he is even 65 to live but when we first met him he wasn’t going to make it to 40! His was a typical story about having a few beers after work, partying on the weekends. Then the weekends started on Tuesday or Wednesday. Then the weekend started on Sunday at noon and ended on Sunday at 11:59 am. He was suffering from malnutrition, had severe anemia, was vitamin B deficient and could not think clearly for several weeks’ post withdrawal.
This is not the fun lifestyle he had envisioned when he started drinking. He was that fun guy who had a great time with his friends. Rapidly that turned into being that guy who drank way too much every time. That guy who was obnoxious and angry. Relationships failed, friends who were not alcoholics and drank socially drifted away. This is drinking too much alcohol!
