After a cancer diagnosis, getting hit by a car riding my bike in 2019, and losing a friend ten years my junior die of alcohol related reasons in 2020, I find my self stunted, bored and generally disappointed. I declined chemotherapy and surgery and rid myself of cancer within 18 months with plants and supplements and I got a good lawyer for my injuries associated with the car collision. I’ve been and on and off drinker since my friend died (mostly off) and for a while was an ambassador for Athletic Brewing Co. while working up in Alaska. Ever tried to be a non-drinking vegan in Alaska? That was fun. Here is some of my story.
