I knew a couple people who died from liver failure due to excessive drinking. I’ve talked about this many times before but I was almost one of them. Started drinking at 12 and had cirrhosis by 27. That was almost 4 years ago now, and I’m pretty much cured at this point due to no alcohol and living a healthy lifestyle. Still gotta see a gastro twice a year to make sure all is good, but he has told me I’m basically completely cured now.

This is great to hear. I was under the assumption that once you got to the point where you had cirrhosis, the options were liver transplant or death. Do you no longer have cirrhosis? That’s pretty fascinating but good to hear.

I had a guy I worked with die a couple years ago from alcohol poisoning. He never married and lived alone and drank Jack Daniel’s like it was water. Poor guy died alone at his house in his early 40’s

I thought once your liver started to harden that it was not reversible?

I take milk thistle daily to help with liver function. I was never an acholic but I still worry about all of the crap they put in foods nowadays. Sugar substitutes are bad for digestive health including your liver.
