What shall I say? I am embarrassed, scared and overwhelmed.
Damned, I am exposing my weight, my age, my weaknesses… If you check on any images you find of me, well, they are cropped so that my mid-riff is not visible. So, what could possibly move me to expose everything to the world?
Well, I have done it once before. Eight years ago, for the first time in my life, I stood up and said out loud: “Hi, I am Stephan, and I am an alcoholic!”
That started a journey that I could have not imagined in my wildest dreams. It made me a very different man, a transformation of which I am incredibly proud.
But the story does not stop there. Cross-addiction is a bitch. Turns out, the last three years were pretty s@#t. Loads of stress turned at times into distress, and food at night-time became my go-to to decompress. By the end of 2022 I had enough. This was not the way I imagined my future. In my dreams, I was young, slim and full of energy. In the morning, I would walk into the bathroom and more than once asked the guy in the mirror: “Who the hell are you?”
Every show I tell my audience: “The past does not equal the future!” And now has come the time for me to prove to myself that these are not just shallow platitudes. So, follow me as I explore, learn, experiment and morph in front of your eyes into version 3.0! 2023 is my year, and I will prove it to you!
