    Wanted to do a little update. Today is August 11. I have had a very rough few weeks. My labs show, my condition is rapidly getting worse. A few test were added to my next appointment. I have the feeling its about time for the transplant. The last doctor I spoke to, was concerned something bad could happen if this is prolonged much more. I'm staying positive and busy. I'm trying to move out this hotel and have a place of my own. Thats definitely keeping me down. Extremely difficult these days. I've never had this issue before. The unrealistic terms just to rent a place. Keeping me busy though. Thank you to everyone that watched the video and listened to my story. I'll drop updates when I can.

    As your wife, it took me almost a full week to watch this episode because Aaron’s story is so similar to yours, Will. I’m so proud of you for always believing in your recovery! Your mental strength made a huge difference while you were waiting for the transplant and you never once complained about anything, even though we know how much you were suffering🥺. Your story and resilience are such an inspiration, and I hope you keep spreading your words to anyone who needs to hear them 💚.

    You guys are warriors. This community keeps getting bigger and bigger. Imagine how many people you guys are helping to educate about the true dangers of alcoholism. I'm sure you saved more than just one life with this and it's amazing.

    Wow, thanks for the video. What an inspiration. You're a strong man and your family loves you just as much as you love them. I have a feeling you'll adapt and over come this in your own way. Much love, Aaron 💕

    Powerful interview.  Very powerful. Aaron my prayers are with you on your journey back to health. Will, what a great interview style/demeanor you have. Thank you gentlemen. I am just over 6 months sober myself. What drinking does to our mind (while in active addiction) is as awful as what it does to the body.

    Thank you both for sharing. Alcohol has taken so much from me, but I have, just by luck, have escaped the catastrophic physical consequences you two have suffered. However, I know that if I start drinking again this is what awaits me. Aaron, I sincerely hope all goes well with your transplant. Sending you healing thoughts ....
