maasai, try not to think like that. Your body cells respond to what your brain tells them. Tell then they are well and healthy. I envision my liver and heart as being nice and pink and healthy. Please try to stay away from fearful thoughts. The body has powerful ability to heal. Your brain (thoughts) tell it to. I know this may soud sort "out there" but it is what I believe. Otherwise I'd surely be dead by now. Think happy healthy thoughts.

I too wonder about the damage done from the booze but can only go forward not backwards,


Lots of water, fruit, sald and exercise have to help too.I think weight drops off as well as those empty calories get left behind.


Its not a good look to have a red nose, broken veins, dried lips from dehydration, bad breath, acid reflux, smelly wind, lack lustre skin and a "Wish I hadnt done it look!!!!!"

I am convinced that moderating or abstaining whichever is your journey and a healthier life style leads to better sleep and healing of SOME of the damage done.


No beating my self up and no looking back doing "if onlys" helps too...


Good Luck to those trying to get back in shape .. sounds like you have made great progress and the support on here helps so much

Cassy.

What a great thread.

I know I go to bed worried every night about my liver, totally paranoid. I'm going to think good thoughts from now on.
And my face is now quite red, I was putting it down to being outdoors, too much sun, hot kitchen, blah blah blah...now I know it's the drink. I'm 47 now and want to reverse the damage.

Remember that the liver is the most regenerative organ in the human body. That means that it heals itself more than any other organ. After you stop drinking, the liver will start to heal much of the damage. I was a long term heavy drinker for over twenty years. I stopped drinking a few years ago. I recently had a full detailed liver panel done with my doctor and everything was fine. That wasn't true a few years ago when my doctor had concerns about some of the enzymes.

Stop worrying about your liver. It will take care of itself. Just worry about yourself. That means stop drinking. When you do, your liver and the rest of you will heal with time.

Just my two cents.
