Liver disease

Hey and welcome! I am around your age and got diagnosed with alcoholic cirrhosis at age 27. I’ve been sober for four years. When I first found out I didn’t stop drinking-I truly just wanted to die. Mine was so bad I was puking up blood, I was jaundice all over my face and eyes but I couldnt stop drinking due to the withdrawals. But like you, I finally reached out went to detox and rehab and have been sober ever since. I just got an endoscopy done of my liver and a scope biopsy of my liver and pancreas. My doctor told me after four years of abstaining from alcohol with the proper nutrients and losing weight, I have basically reversed my cirrhosis. Understand that a cirrhotic liver due to alcohol can become almost a normal liver again. They may not tell you this but I am your proof… You just need to commit to a healthy lifestyle and know if you continue down this path, you have a death sentence. Please message me if you have any questions. I’m here to support you as is everyone else. Hope my story helps you in moments where you feel hopeless @Lolo4shodoe :heart: as far as your blood work goes, I’m assuming your liver enzymes were elevated? Did a doctor specifically say you have cirrhosis? They’ll probably do a biopsy and endoscopy to see how far along it is.
