Yes... the liver is one of the few organs that is capable of regeneration. Look at the people that receive partial liver transplants from live donners. It is an amazing organ with thousands of functions necessary for life. SO thank goodness it has regenerative abilities.
Of course, end stage liver disease and failure is fatal. The liver can only take so much and there is a point where it does not recover. But for the most part, abstinance and proper diet will do wonders.

Hi everyone, I am new to this, but this is a subject that scares me greatly because my husband passed away from liver failure, but I have continued to drink on a daily basis until two weeks ago, when I finally decided enough is enough. It has been horrible, for the first three days I could not even get out of bed but I am feeling much better although sick to my stomach. My question is, how long does it really take until the bloating goes away. I have gained 20 lbs from drinking but still look like a beached whale.
