Playboy Model Jessica Landon Undergoes Transformation After Alcohol Caused Rotting Skin
A former Playboy model who described drinking vodka 24-hours a day said she suffered rotting skin and organ failure as a result of alcohol addiction.
Jessica Landon was once an aspiring Hollywood actress and model but she claimed that her life spiralled down because of her addiction to alcohol.
She said that a molestation incident by a babysitter when she was five years old left her with unwanted feelings that she tried to cover up by things like alcohol and food. She said that booze made her comfortable and forget her pain.
By the time she turned 26 years old, she became a 24-hour-a-day vodka drinker. Despite her potential, she became homeless at one point and lived in a stranger’s attic vomiting blood on a regular basis.
With her weak and frail condition, she tripped over a stair rail one day and landed on her head.
The incident caused brain hemorrhage the size of an oblong baseball in her brain that needed to be drained through surgery before it could cause permanent damage.
She had to be detoxed from alcohol first because her blood was too thin. Five days into the detox, however, a series of seizures required her to undergo an emergency brain surgery.
She recovered miraculously but relapsed again while living with a friend.
“I lay on his floor and nearly drank myself to death. I was incapable of getting up to use the restroom because I was too weak and atrophied, so I laid there urinating and defecating on myself for over a month in one spot,” she said.
Jessica said the acid from her urine ate away the skin on her hips and tailbone causing a blood staph infection. When she was brought to the hospital, her blood alcohol content was 0.53 percent and all her organs were failing.
Weighing just 78 pounds, she was kept in the hospital for more than a month to safely detox and regain strength before she went back to her parents.
That was rock bottom for Jessica. After going through nine treatment centers and a difficult process of sobriety, Jessica managed to turn her life around with impressive transformation.
She is now five years sober, weighs a healthy 105 pounds and works as a recovery coach helping people get sober and maintain sobriety. She is also expecting to have her first child with partner Mattew in December this year.
