"Alcohol has put me in rehab twice, it has put me in the hospital a couple of times so that I could literally function," she disclosed.
The effects of alcohol began to take a toll on her health. A concerned doctor highlighted the seriousness of her situation, prompting her to reassess her life choices.
"I began experiencing downside effects of my health, from my eyes to my liver, my doctor looked at me and asked me 'Is this something you really want to continue?" Ronoh shared.
