Positive Recovery with Corinna
Hi everyone 🙋🏻♀️
I’m Corinna and I am enjoying riding with sobriety on Bumblebee (My Can Am Ryker)
I worked as a mental health nurse for 37 years until 2020 when I was medically retired due to fibromyalgia, arthritis, Functional Neurological Disorder, Benign Positional Vertigo, Anxiety and Depression. I also drank a bottle of wine every night for 22 years.
At the time of my retirement I struggled to walk, talk and eat without choking. I fell daily (never whilst drunk) leading to several injuries and ongoing cartilage and tendon tears. Pain is my thing! And I drank to numb it all. But I also drank away my neuro pathways.
I am now over 3 years sober and have worked hard at retraining my neural pathways with mindfulness. Nowadays, I can mostly walk without my previously trusted purple pusher (walker) And have learnt to ride a 600cc machine. I am now travelling around the world, sometimes on Bumblebee and sometimes by plane, meeting sober brothers and sisters, promoting sobriety and giving hope to others with disabilities. If you think sobriety is boring you have been seriously misled. I’m not great with technology but I’m doing my best to share the word on sobriety, living positively with disability and grief. Sadly, my biggest support Andy passed away on 22nd April 2023. You can read more about him and our journey together on the ‘In Loving Memory’ page. You can also listen to our story in Coping with Illness and Death on my YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/fSj0p2HuMN0?si=3bsotSqOSxYzb4KK

Alcohol is the third leading cause of preventable death in the USA killer. Smoking is 6th. It contains over 30 cancer causing chemicals including arsenic and formaldehyde. It causes liver disease, dementia, cancer and death. It is the most harmful drug to self and others. Much higher than heroin and crack cocaine. But, instead of declaring all this and allowing us to make an informed choice, it is hidden and encouraged with fancy packaging and advertising convincing us that we cannot get through any occasion without it; sporting events, holidays, Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day etc.
I am petitioning for:
A total ban on advertising
Alcohol to be packaged in plain bottles, cans and boxes. No fancy packing. And the truth be written on the container:
Contains a flammable solvent with arsenic and formaldehyde. Causes cancer, liver disease, dementia and 3 million deaths a year ⚠️ ☠️
