Alcohol hepatitis?

Hello all,

About three months ago I was sick for a week with a swollen liver and pancreas and the doctor said that I could never have alcohol again or I would end up in the emergency room or worse. But a nurse who saw me said that I would have to cut back and start drinking around people and not by myself. WHo is right here? I haven't had a drink since I was sick because I am scared that as soon as I take a sip the pain will start up again but it is ridiculous that I can't have another drink ever! But it is a good time to quit since I went through withdrawl while I was sick so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. My main question though is if I have permanent liver damage now that will shorten my life? Thanks.
