i have heard the same, my father went through it, not just his liver but his heart too. certain organs will repair themselves if givn time to rebuild, i was told the liver is one of them, but like the experts say, no more drinking and especially with meds. gosh i was so lucky i didnt suffer from health issues....i used to "activate" my pain meds back in the day with a shot of Jager...unreal, i was a real piece of work. someone was watching out for me....
good luck,
As long you stay sober - you got a chance for the recovery of your liver. Good Luck

our bodies are truly remarkable.....we can put them thru abuse and neglect....and they heal.....i;ve seen amazing things happen with ppl who've recovered from cirrohsis and pancreatitis due to drinking.In recovery we do learn to regard these bodies of ours as sacred temples and treat them as such!
These comments have really put my mind at ease.I'll stop the worrying.
Thank You Denise
Thank You,That will put my mind at ease until I have the next blood test and we'll go from there.

Hi narla,
The liver has an amazing capacity to recover if you treat it well. Keep drinking and using and it will eventually give up. I had high readings and was hospitalised for liver damage but it eventually recovered after I stopped drinking. Worrying about it is a futile act, stick to your recovery plan, don’t drink or use and when the time comes have the necessary tests then deal with things as your doctor recommends.
