No Mellen, That is the great thing is that it is almost never to late to quit! You have a great plan to start out with finding a meeting to go to tonight. Your on your way to a much better futer. I read your story and I just had to find out if their was anything I can do to help you out. From what I hear I'm not to bad at offering support and I love to listen to stories too. :) Even though I have cirrhosis it wasn't to late for me to quit. I really dont wish this disease on anyone, alcohol is bad enough. So there you go, thats the trick. Quit before while your a head ya know. I would love to hear more from you. So if you wouldnt mind will you let me know how it went today? You can do this!!

Mellen58,
Hi, I just came across a post that you had made last june explaining your story. Mine is quite similar with some exceptions but I was just wondering how are you doing now? I hope you don't mind me asking.
For about the past 20 years i had been an acoholic drinking about 23 beers a day. morning till night. March 23, 2010 I stopped drinking because I was diagnosed with end stage cirrhosis. I was 38 at the time. Im doing good now though. Haven't drank since. Well that's me! Cirrhosis is no fun but I did it to myself. I hope you have stopped drinking like you wanted.
