Two years ago, I reached the heaviest weight of my life. It was near the end of 2016, and a decade of heavy drinking had finally caught up with me. I was ending my twenties about 65 pounds heavier than I had started them.

Fortunately, I was able to recognize how bad my drinking had become and decided to get sober just a few months before my thirtieth birthday.
