I drank yesterday and last night (9/3) so I’m late to the party (story of my life), but if it’s OK, I’m in. I logged in today because I know I’m at a point where I’m going to start doing serious damage if I don’t do something.

Edit: Well, I shit the bed. Drank on 9/7 and 9/9.

I am in, as long as there is no ‘party’ reward when September ends (check the Green Day reference!) and it automatically rolls over into October and beyond :nerd_face:

@ASP - how was your liver scan? :crossed_fingers:

Thanks for asking, now it’s not until the 24th Sept . I put it back to give myself time to heal… not sure if that was wise but I think I’m in denial about the damage I might have done to my health.

Hi Adam, I understand all too well the denial and shame that got you to postpone your liver scan. When I was admitted to hospital with acute alcoholic hepatitis, I felt exactly the same to the point where I was masking my drinking habits from the doctors. One of them visited me in the evening hours and explained that, to them, alcoholism is a disease just like any other and they do not judge or stigmatize. That really helped me open up.
Please, please have your (liver) health checked out asap, an unhealthy liver has wider ramifications on our bodies and medication can help jump start recovery.
