I wrote this poem after a good friend lost her life to alcoholism
#bekind
#alcoholism

Dancing with The Devil

Plunged into the depths of despair,
The number one enemy is sadness,
Drawn to Lucifer’s nefarious lair,
Driving confusion to madness.

1/5
Where is the answer, where is it hiding?
What is wrong and what is right?
Are there two worlds colliding,
Dancing in the Devil’s delight?

2/5
Doom and gloom, death and damnation,
Sorrow beckons through the night,
Destruction, depravity; the Devil’s creation
Of Hell, who has left on the light.

This is how the liver looks in the final stages of alcohol liver disease - #cirrhosis.

At this point of no return, liver functions worsen permanently & one barely survives a couple more years.

Alcohol destroys your liver in stages.

First, it causes fats to deposit on your liver.

Then, fibrous strands grow in your liver.

Finally, #cirrhosis sets it, which is irreparable & irreversible injury. It can kill you or further lead to #LiverCancer.

As you drink too much alcohol, your liver & life are gradually paying the ultimate price.

So, think about this. Is it really worth it?
