Mim Jenkinson’s life was ticking along just as she expected. A wonderful husband, a thriving career, two beautiful children.
Then, one day, she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer.
After an intense period of treatment, she beat the cancer.
But while her body had won the fight, her mind was a mess.
Mim developed PTSD. She was traumatised that at any moment something could go wrong, She could get sick again and she’d be taken away her away from her children forever.
So she turned to alcohol. It was how she numbed out the anxiety, the stress, the uncertainty.
But what felt good at the start, eventually became a serious addiction. It was another fight she had to win for the sake of her health, her kids and her marriage.
Mim is now sober, she’s five years free of cancer and she’s never been happier or healthier.
She’s a written a book about her experience called Less Wine, More Time.
