'Wine was my best friend,' Wampler admits. Now that she's replaced wine with walking, all her relationships have improved.
"Wine was my best friend," Wampler admits. Now that she's replaced wine with walking, all her relationships have improved.Until May 2022, Pamela Wampler, now 53, didn’t see the wine she enjoyed in the evenings as a problem. “Drinking wine seemed like it was acceptable,” she says. The habit had started when she was around 40 years old and it just seemed normal.
Wampler was hungover about three times a week, but she was holding down her job as a resource specialist teacher. Her two adult sons didn’t think she had a problem. “I was really good at hiding it," she says."But my husband knew because there always had to be wine in the house — I got angry if there wasn’t."Courtesy of Pamela WamplerWampler had been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder at age 40 — around the same time she started drinking wine.
Unfortunately, small shifts weren't going to be enough. Blood tests revealed that Wampler's liver enzymes were “off the charts,” and an ultrasound showed that she had an extremely fatty liver. “My doctor said I was in the beginning stages of liver failure and within two years my liver would probably stop functioning," she says.
Wampler's husband knew her drinking was a problem because she got angry when there wasn't alcohol in the house.Wampler's doctor referred her to a 10-week virtual substance abuse program. “I thought, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I was still thinking I didn’t have a problem,” she says.
