1:13:01
and called my wife,
had to get her to ride to work
1:13:04
to pick me up
and take me home.
1:13:05
And then once I stopped
drinking the diet soda waters,
1:13:09
got my sugars back down.
1:13:10
I was fortunate enough,
my eyesight came back.
1:13:12
I didn't do that much damage
to them at that time.
1:13:17
I think it's human nature
to seek a drastic solution
1:13:22
only when you're faced
with a drastic problem.
1:13:24
I drank three or four
of those a day.
1:13:26
This is a half-gallon,
1:13:28
so that means
you were drinking probably
1:13:30
about two gallons of soda
a day.
1:13:32
It wasn't unusual,
for a two-week time,
1:13:34
we'd buy
50 two-liters of soda water.
1:13:35
50 two-liters
every two weeks.
1:13:37
And I'd probably end up
1:13:39
having to pick him up
a couple extra.
1:13:41
He drinks more than I do.
1:13:43
Ill go through
about one of those a day.
1:13:45
There's some days I go through
three or four two-liters.
1:13:48
A lot of us
don't realize the social stigma
1:13:53
that these people face
on a daily basis.
