Hi bbz’s

Thanks for taking the time to read this probably disorganised writing!

My name is Adam obviously…. And it’s coming up to my 3 year sober mark!

So I thought I would give something back so all the times. I have gone on about being sober 😂 , and many won’t know why I went sober …

I struggled with alcohol for probably most of my 30s , probably most of my life if im being honest… combination of a lot of different things.. and it was getting out of hand , Oct 2019 I was probably the lowest i have even been with booze, I couldn’t stop I was also suffering with a few things i just ignored. I had noticed a change in size and a ‘dragging’ feeling in my testicles. “I was late to work one day because I wasn’t feeling right. It’s unlike me to be ill and so my old manager Neil, who is also one of my closest friends, noticed. We got talking and he persuaded me to go to the doctors.   “I got an appointment that Monday afternoon – it was 3rd October . The doctor examined me and advised that he’d found a lump on my right testicle. He said he would flag it up for a scan as soon as possible. 

The scan took place two days later. The team at the City Hospital’s Cancer Centre was amazing. The consultant confirmed that it was testicular cancer, kindly explained what exactly it was and what the next steps were going to be. At that very first appointment I was asked if I wanted to donate sperm and if I wanted a prosthetic testicle! Bonkers…

I obviously hit the vodka when I got home and on the Friday ( a few days later ) I was in the hospital , shitting myself but also with bad DT’s and I asked for help, and that WAS 3 years ago, and I haven’t touched a drink since.

I couldn’t of done any of this without the support of so many people , my friends my family , the NHS and especially Cancer Focus NI , Cancer Focus NI has been AMAZING, Barbara my Counsellor helped me so so much.. Deanna Troi , Beyoncé , Dr Crusher 🖖👽♥️

I have shared my story with the people at Cancerfocus Ni and if you would like to read about it the link is below ⬇️

I have often been a bit scared or shy when telling people I had cancer and maybe a lot of you guys don’t know? Well you know nai aye ? , I want to give something back to the amazing charity Cancer Focus NI!! So to mark my 3 years sober I would kindly ask for a the price of a drink / a cuppa coffee donated to this amazing charity!!
