Hiya all you fabulousss people down my phone πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹

As my new motto is "in for a penny......" I've plucked up the courage to post my then (liver damage) 😒 & now (sober,fitter,better,back to fabulous) πŸ’ͺpic xx

I haven't deleted it to remind me what Mr vino did to me (the b*st*rd πŸ‘Šlol)

Talk about denial (and not the river ha) I remember Drs asking "is the round face normal for you" i couldn't see it, I couldn't see what they was seeing (I just thought they was calling me fat ha)

I'd like to show young girls/boys what drinking to excess can do to you!! I never drank on the park bench or out of a brown paper bag, I never even drank spirits or mixed my drinks ....just him! Mr vino 😑

But I'm not going to dwell on the past what's done is done....the old me is gone the girl on the left is gone Mr vino has gone im winning πŸ’ͺ.....#newbeginings #hellofuture #thissoberlife #recoveryisworthit #recoveryispossible #backtofabulousss 😍

Lisa 😘

Good good xx I'm smashing thanks smiley πŸ‘noooo I'm still here plodding along lol xx

The guide dogs post?? Yes it's true (although I don't think everyone knows about it) there's a real thing called a recovery pet, recovery from any illness xx

It can be any pet ...a dog,cat,fish,bird,alligator ha whatever you want x

It is supposed to aid in your recovery,maybe it's a new focus on life?? I know I saved my snoop but he saved me too 😍

Take care smiley xx

LπŸ˜€ xx

in reply to Miss_fab

Yes but surely you don’t call snoop a guide dog? Maybe a recovery dog - I would understand that 😁

Miles

πŸ‡§πŸ‡§

Miss_fab profile image
Miss_fab in reply to

OH NO he's defo not a guide dog i think they're just for the visually impaired (but I could be wrong) xx

Thank you for sharing. I relate so much to this. I must have 20lbs in my β€œdry January”. I find it repulsive how much I was drinking and what it did to me. Wish I had paid more attention over the years.

If I'm honest ....I'm scared!! I think it's just that I've never had a fibroscan before & the doubt is always there (I'm a Libra always waiting for bad news)

I'll face my fears tho ....im bulletproof ha ha

Take care lovely Xx

Lisa πŸ˜€

in reply to Miss_fab
