Send us Fan MailKevin’s alcoholism hid in plain sight. Raised in a culture where heavy drinking was normalized and rewarded, alcohol slowly became a necessity rather than a choice. Years of bartending and constant access accelerated the damage until his body began to fail — hallucinations, blackouts, internal bleeding, and repeated hospitalizations ending in a diagnosis no one expects: end-stage liver cirrhosis.Now sober and living with a life-limiting illness, Kevin speaks openly about alcoholism, chronic illness, survivor’s guilt, and the reality of choosing sobriety when the damage is already done. This conversation is about accountability, faith, and what it means to keep choosing life even when healing doesn’t look the way people expect.✅ Check SEIU West✅ Wellness News✅ Bunny Hugs and Mental Health✅ Parenting in the StormCheck out Kevin's channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@UC_gRJxtDoxeQFoWUvIG0TpQ Check out LD's channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@liverdisease-qb6rkSupport the showSEIU-WestWellness NewsParenting in the Storm Check out Parenting in the Storm HEREAre you getting something from our content?
