Alcohol gave me stage 2 liver disease at 22

Karina Miesner had stage 2 liver disease at twenty-two. She had nearly drunk herself to death by an age most people are still treating drinking as a personality.

She is honest about the shame, what it did to her family and her relationships, and how long it took her to accept help that was being offered the whole time.

Nearly two years sober, she now works in the recovery field. What she says about sober living is that the rewards turn out to be the smallest, most ordinary parts of a day.
