Recovery

So...I've been a partier/drinker since I was 13. Functional for most of my life but a heavy vodka drinker for at least 15 years. At my worst it was about a liter a day with some days approaching a handle. No longer functional.

First time I tried to quit like 11 years ago, my liver enzymes were through the roof. Like 10 times normal. Tested again after 2 months and things were much better but not normal.

I've gotten sober and relapsed so many times I have lost count long ago. This is the longest I've been sober in over a decade. 174 days, almost 6 months.

Was scared/curious what my liver function looked like so I went and got blood work done yesterday and got the results today.

My liver function levels are perfectly normal. It's pretty incredible really. I really can't believe it. I am soooo lucky.

Happy Saturday everyone. Be good. Be nice. Be easy. :call_me_hand:

Thank god you stopped. My friend is 40 and waiting for a liver transplant with stage 4 cirrhosis. She is one year sober. Just praying the transplant works. When first met her, her eyes and skin was yellow. She looks good now but damage is done so liver is a must for her to live. Drinking just isn’t worth the risk. 40 years old. Very sad and scary. Stay strong my friend.

Yeah, the liver is an incredible organ until it finally throws in the towel.

The liver is incredibly resilient….until it’s not! Way to give it a break before your liver got pickled!
