Summary
Liver cirrhosis nearly took everything from Dan Sheridan, and the moment doctors told him he might not survive the night changed his life forever. Dan grew up feeling like he never fitted in, lost his dad to cancer, and spent years drinking 18 cans of Stella a day just to stop the shaking. At 40 he was told he had cirrhosis of the liver and two years to live, but he walked straight to Sainsbury's and bought 36 tins. It took collapsing in hospital, flatlining, and waking up to machines and tubes before something finally shifted. A woman named Nula at his transplant assessment told him the hardest truth he ever heard: not drinking and being sober are not the same thing. Dan got his transplant, found love with his wife Clara through TikTok, and is now five and a half years sober and grateful for every single day. You can follow Dan's story on his social media where he shares openly about recovery and organ donation awareness. https://www.instagram.com/danman147/ Tik Tok @mrssheridanshusband If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/ or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/ Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice. www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services https://nacoa.org.uk/ Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-Martinez Instagram - @TheDaniellaMartinez https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/ www.instagram.com/grownuphustle Hosted on Acast.
