liver pain

[peacenik]

hi guys...i just want people to know that i came back here 10 days ago feeing awful with pains in my side and abdomen. already i feel so much better and i am painfree. i know i have damaged myself and am trying to stop drinking forever. i feel really strong this time (did 7 months and 4 months previously).
i had an epiphany the other day about living a non-violent life...i am a pacifist for sure. i do not believe that violence helps anything EVER, and yet i was hurting myself nightly for years with alcohol...violence inflicted upon myself, not with blows, but with a weapon called alcohol.
i am on the path to peace in myself...i would never hurt another person, animal, or thing willingly, why did i think it was ok to hurt myself for so long?

yhere i go again, this time with more insight and alot more humbly.

peace to all!

Well done peacnick glad you feel better. I too consider myself to be a kind person but when i drink i am not only hurting myself, but others so badly even the dog is neglected and all because i want 1 glass of wine. Morals just go out of the window. So selfish of me.

Feel so much stronger -i am smoking more but i can address that issue next week-no one ever got done for smoke driving and ther're not going to lead me into a comatosed state after 1.

I thought i had done some serious damage to my brain, was staggering all over as if i had no balance. But that has passed . Sleeping like a baby, 21.00 is my bedtime lately, so it catches up on you, which is great, this is the worst withdrawal symtom for me, the sleepless nights and sweats . Well done everyone keep up the good work :thanks:

Hi Peace, I had some bloodwork done recently and asked to have my liver enzymes checked as well. They were normal, which was a great relief. The doctor couldn't understand why I wanted them done though as I 'obviously wasn't an alcoholic' said without any questioning or background info. Doh.

I'm glad your feeling better.

Hi Peace,
I have a doctor appointment tomorrow morning to get the results of my blood work. It's scary but I think everything should be okay regardless of the drinking I have done in the past. I hope to remain calm the rest of this evening and in the morning. They usually call if there's "huge" problem. Regardless, you are correct, no reason to get angry over any results that I may have caused to myself. I am with you and hope the same!!!

Hi Peacenik

A few years ago i had my liver checked and it was fine. This was after 16 years of heavy binge drinking. The liver is the only human organ that can regenerate itself. A long as it is not to bad.
Got stomach problems again today but thats not due to the AL. Just over endulged on a "all you can eat" Chinese and Indian buffet!!!!!!! OHHHHHH the greed. I have decided I have an addictive personality but also a greedy one too. If i have a bar of chocolate I will eat all of it regardless if i have had enough half way. Giant packets of crisps the same. Drinking was until i passed out. Got a giant bottle of soy sauce in the fridge -everytime i go in there i think it is a bottle of wine sitting waiting to pounce!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck every one today
