Recovering question

I am 23 and quit drinking recently.  I'm not sure if I was an alcoholic, but I definitely had a problem.  I am in college and gained 80 lbs over 4 years from drinking and just not caring in general.  I've recently lost 50 lbs and cut back drastically.  My question is, will my liver and other organs that were effected heal themselves at my age, or will the damage I've done never be the same?

thats great that you lost the 50 pounds...being way over weight is so bad on everything..and drinking on top of it is trouble..if you look around and you don't want to end up an alcoholic you'll do much better in life...i would say you'll be fine...try to keep up with an exercise program and eat healthy...good luck...billy

congrats on the cease fire with the alcohol and the weight loss!did u have bloodwork done that gave u liver enzyme levels and other levels that told u u have damage?

no, I didn't, but I was a binge drinker for over 3 years... nearly every night.  I had high blood pressure, but that has subsided over the past year.
