What it was like?

I was a lost soul for years, filled with guilt, shame and embarrassment! I was always waking up to a 40 oz bottle at 6am and acting a fool the rest of the day! I disappointed alot of people, especially my parents!

What happened?

While life was already spinning out of control, I began to have seizures. The last one I had back in 2012 was the last straw! Hit my head pretty hard on a computer desk, dislocated my jaw and bit off part of my tongue. That was the eye opener for me!

What it is like now?

I've been seizure free for 10 years and waking up hangover free is the best feeling ever! I have a good job now and my family couldn't be happier!
