On Ivan Abramov’s YouTube podcast, comedian Alexander Yakushev said he hasn’t consumed alcohol in nearly a decade.
According to the KVN star, several years ago he suffered from alcoholism, as a result of which he developed a deadly disease. “I sat in the apartment, drank, watched something, fell asleep, woke up and drank again. So I spent a couple of days, then I realized that I had not eaten all this time, ”says Yakushev.
According to the comedian, he consulted doctors on time. At the end of the operation, a piece of his pancreas was taken. “I vomited blood. Then I woke up and realized that my left side hurt so much. The pain was so intense that it was impossible. I was taken to the hospital, they did an ultrasound and they said pancreatic necrosis. Everything is very serious,” he said.
After facing a terminal illness, Yakushev vowed never to drink alcohol again. The comedian adheres to a strict diet and leads a healthy lifestyle. “It’s all boiled, no frying, greasy. It seems that there are many interesting things in life besides vodka. Gradually I began to understand this, ”the comedian admitted.
