As many of you know, for the past year, I've been drinking like a fish, a whole bottle of rum every day for much of the year and sometimes more. I did this because I felt depressed and stuck, unable to move, and wanted an escape. Many of you tried to help me, to which I didn't listen. However, I hit rock bottom when my liver function test was done on May 19, 2025. My ALT levels were 373, and AST was 319. Both of these are more than 6 times the acceptable levels of 50 or less. Indicating very severe liver damage. This explained why I managed to drink so much, yet not feel drunk, my liver was doing a death rattle, and I would be, soon, if I didn't stop. For the first time in a while, i felt scared to lose my life, I looked back and saw what a coward I'd been. I felt a deep sense of regret, all the people I pushed away, all the problems I avoided, and now it might be too late. I bought a bottle of rum, 1 liter. I poured out 700ml of it and drank the rest. That was 80 days ago, and I haven't had one single drop since. My doctors had given up, not even bothering to schedule an appointment as they knew my cowardly behavior would simply cancel, so I didn't have to face them. After 38 days of absolute sobriety, I messaged my doctor informing her that i took her advice to heart and have removed alcohol from my life, I wanted to come in and get bloodwork done. On July 14th, it came back. ALT levels are 64, AST is 42. My liver healed faster than I ever thought possible, crushing my foolish excuse from before that I was too far gone to heal. With this, I was able to go back on Trikafta, improving my lung function greatly. I got another liver function test done on August 13th, ALT levels are 49, AST is 25. My liver is now healthier than it was a year before I started drinking. I wasn't sure I believed in God, but I prayed for my life to be spared, and I do believe he listened. I'm not sure how I want to celebrate, but you can bet it will involve a lot of family and no alcohol

I had never seen a rat or mouse in all my life until where I live.

You might think this is joke, but I'm serious and we are infested with rats.

Would you know what to do if your area was infested with rats?

Cats kill some young birds, the ones that don't fly away, rats and mice are totally different, they can't fly away.

I'm not kidding you, we have cats on leads, and taken for walks like dogs, other cats are kept inside. We don't have any cats anymore patrolling the area. This has only been happening for 3 or 4 years.

I've heard folklore of Dick Whittington and his cat, and the Pied Piper of Hamelin, but having never seen a rat or mouse, I thought there were no truth in them.

In the past rats were primarily known for transmitting the Black Death that killed a large portion of Europe's population, also other diseases which cause severe flu like symptoms and potentially fatal organ damage.

It seems like our past lessons have been forgotten.

What is your opinion?

President Trump has recently got the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan together and got them to make a peace agreement. He has several other peace deals he can point to. Now he is working hard to bring peace between Ukraine and Russia. Even though the US is no longer funding this war and in fact American companies are selling the majority of the weapons NATO in buying for this war he wants to stop the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians.

Democrats and their cheerleaders in the fake news want to see President Trump fail. They prefer that an additional tens of thousand people die in this war than to see President Trump get yet another win. Is this sick or what?
