drinking after clearing and open thred
What is the deal with alcohol after clearing? Is it okay to drink a couple glasses of wine with dinner from time to time?
thankyou for your compassion. i don't change after drinking, but I do feel more relaxed. Yes, I feel guilty about it because I know I shouldn't drink because I had hepatitis C. period. thank you. I thought about yoga. I will pursue that. thanks
Do you do thinks after drinking that you'd never do otherwise? Does your personality change after drinking? If not, the amounts you consume are hardly alarming. But since you have anxiety over it, there is a problem.
Life can be very difficult. I don't see any harm in a person getting enjoyment from hobbies or pursuits that don't harm others.
Of course, if alcohol compromises your health, well, than continuing with it is self-destructive. If you have difficulty in that circumstance, then, yes, you may need a helping hand in finding a healthier way to unwind and relax.

I think I have a drinking problem, because even after treatment, and I know alcohol is hard on the liver, the stress in my life is unbearable and I drink 2 glasses of wine every night and 3-4 on weekend nights. I know this is bad but I am afraid to tell my dr. I have to get this under control or i know I'll be sorry.
I would agree with the other comments. In the 7mo since tx, I have had a glass of wine 3x for special occasions with friends or family. Since I was stage 3 prior to tx, I will never again drink wine like I used to (while not alchoholic, it was moderately frequent). I feel comfortable with my decision for myself. Dave
If you are clear, not on treatment, and have no other reason not to (liver in bad shape, alcoholic, on certain meds, only 10 years old, etc.) then by all means responsibly enjoy!
If You Have Little, To No Liver Damage, & Do Not Have An Active Virus!
If You Are Undetectable... then there is nothing there to replicate....
It depends on past history, There is a differance between "Use & Abuse"... so speak with your doc about your "individual" case!
