I have severe alcoholic fatty liver and swollen spleen

I have had tests done and been told I have severe fatty liver and a swollen spleen. the Ultrasound and blood test results.

Report: The gallbladder is normal and the biliary tree is not dilated. The liver has severe increase in echogenicity and is enlarged. Portal flow is antegrade. The pancreas is poorly seen. The spleen is enlarged and measures 16.6cm in long axis. The kidneys appear normal. The aorta is of normal calibre. No mass or free fluid is seen.

Comment: The changes in the liver indicate severe fatty infiltration and the presence of splenomegaly raises possibility of cirrhosis. Correlation with LFT, platelets, etc is suggested.

I have a feeling the doctor is being gentle with me do I have irreversible damage? Cirhosis?
