I am raising funds for a dental procedure. I used to be an alcoholic and started having liver problems among many others. I decided to stop drinking and turn my life around. Upon doing so, I got very sick and was unable to eat or even drink water for almost 2 years because I was throwing up 24/7. I ended up in the hospital multiple times due to malnutrition and other medical issues. I basically lived on my bathroom floor for 2 years and drained my life savings. Due to the constant vomiting, the enamel on my teeth was destroyed. It took a little while after I had sobered up, but my teeth started and continue to deteriorate. They break and chip when I eat, sleep, or even when I brush my teeth. I have an unfixable deterioration in my teeth and have lost most of them down to the root, causing me to be unable to eat properly, lots of pain, and constant insecurity and fear of what infection or problems could come up unless they are replaced. I grew up the kid that all the grandmas loved my smile, and now it not only affects my life and health, but I absolutely hate smiling. It’s keeping me from even wanting to take a chance in a relationship. I wish one day I could be comfortable enough to smile again. I would like to be able to bite a sandwich, eat a chicken wing, or an apple. Every time I eat, it hurts, causing me to still have an eating disorder and inability to live like a normal person. I would greatly appreciate any help in trying to return to a man of confidence and good health. Quitting drinking turned into a curse and I would like to turn it into a blessing for what it took to get where I am.
