Funny how I no longer have IBS…

Gross details ahead.

I would drink liquor 4-5 nights a week. It had been months of diarrhea. Idek if I could call it diarrhea because it was essentially just watery liquid.

I would not be able to go more than 5-10 minutes without my stomach churning and my having to run to the bathroom. Driving became hard, even going across the street to the store.

Other people driving me was out of the picture because I was terrified of not having control of the vehicle to pull over when I needed to.

I almost shit myself in line for an event in front of all of my friends once, too. There have been sooo many close calls. It made me anti-social because my ass explosions gave me so much anxiety.

Just ridiculous. But it was my daily reality for so long that I had no inkling that it might be the booze. I thought it was just how my stomach was.

And then I stopped drinking for 4 days and my poops went back to normal. It was so immediate that it was CONFUSING. It’s so strange to have no diarrhea.

And now I’m getting sober for longer and longer stretches, and my shits are completely normal. It’s crazy that my reality not long ago is now nuts to me.

It was the alcohol.
