Sorry to hear of your troubles.  I'm a nurse and would give you this advice - be sure to get at least one other opinion, if not two.  There are MANY ways to treat advanced liver disease now and you should be sure that you get as much information as you can before making any decisions about treatment.  Good luck to you!!

Hi Jim and welcome to the forum!

This particular forum deals mostly with drug addiction such as pills, methdone, heroin and the like. MedHelp offers a separate forum for alcoholism. I think your question would be best answered there.

Good Luck to you and I hope you stay healthy!!
