I’m so behind the times. I haven’t even gotten it once!!
May you find rapid healing.
Ugh I just got COVID for the first time this last week too! Something I could have done without… hope you feel better soon!
Hope you feel better as well
I got an endoscopy today with a scope ultrasound of my pancreas and liver-I had asked my new doc if he could tell me my chances of needing a new liver so we did a procedure to find out how healthy of a condition I’m in. All my varices are gone and he told me when I woke that in the four years I’ve been sober I’ve pretty much reversed my liver cirrhosis. If I abstain from alcohol and continue to live the healthy lifestyle I’ve been living, I won’t need a liver transplant in this lifetime. Until this point I didn’t realize how subconsciously over the past four years I’ve been living in the now. Putting 1% in my 401k and not really saving any money as I honestly didn’t think I’d see past the age of 50. Living in the moment and just enjoying myself-truly. I never let myself fully digest the idea of living with a cirrhotic liver because it was too scary-too overwhelming. Well, the sigh of relief I took this morning was huge. Sober life is the best life and take it from me, it will reward you in ways you never thought were possible.
My 1198th day sober was pretty rad! Its also a little over 6 months since my final cigarette
Three weeks into my fourth sober season!
Thats awesome! We can and do recover!
Now this is a terrific hopeful share Emilie. That is such wonderful news. And such a relief. I keep hearing or understanding the body is an amazing machine. So happy for you.
Congratulations to you! Glad you will be able to go to sleep at night w the assurance you are not and should not be a transplant candidate. Bodies heal and livers in many cases especially can. Congratulations to you for getting that freedom back in your life, to not have that burden and fear attached. Welcome to your new world ! Big hugs. One upon a time in my twenties my liver was enlarged and cirrhotic, to the point that the tissue sample “fell apart” on biopsy. I had already not been drinking for three and a half years. It was not alcohol or a drug that did it, but once the condition was treated, it went back to normal…
This makes me so happy
That is amazing news, congrats on saving your own life Thanks for sharing your journey with us also, you are a huge inspiration!!
This is bloody wonderful. I’m so damn happy for you!!!

That’s just the best news Emilie! Sooo happy for you!
I’m really glad to hear about your new results! I hope now life will be easier for you.
I did not know this was even possible! Wow! I’m so happy right now! Emile, your story is how to live with courage and faith, and it blows me away.
Sobriety makes all things possible. So happy for ypur miraculous healing.
Great news, " the human body is regenerative, not degenerative". Guess that’s why they call it getting clean.
That is incredible news, best thing I’ve read in a long while!!!
