Trigger warning: Alcohol abuse
Welcome to Episode 97 – Thriving after a liver transplant with John Weiman
Have you ever wondered what happens when you have “too much of a good thing?”. Alcohol can make us feel we’re on a good thing, but the long term impacts can have devastating consequences. This includes impacts on our mental and physical health, our identity, finances, relationships, careers and so much more.
This week we’re exploring all of this through the lived experience of John Weiman. After years of alcohol abuse, John was diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the liver and required a liver transplant to survive. He talks about what led to the diagnosis, and the hurdles he had to jump over just to get the doctor’s approval to do the transplant. This is a story of triumph over tragedy, and an episode you won’t want to miss.
In this episode, John shares:
Key Quotes:
“Because of the chaos in the household, I developed a family out side of the household and that was friends who drank.”
“Alcohol abuse is something that whether your drinking or not, lasts with you the rest of your life.”
“I never thought of myself as an alcoholic, I was a people-holic”
