I don't really have anyone to talk about this with in person, and I'm sure I'm not really articulating myself as best I could with text here
One of the greatest things about AA, talking to other alcoholics in recovery face to face or on the phone.
Now on to your question, I was diagnosed with a fatty liver (precursor to cirrosis of the liver), after 90 days of not drinking my liver enzymes were back to normal, after 6 months of sobriety all the swelling was gone, oh yea in a week all the tenderness was gone as well.
Other things that changed with time since I quit drinking:
Heartburn every night is gone.
Blood in stool is gone.
I do not throw up every morning.
My depression is gone.
My head is clear every morning.
Blood pressure is down.
Stool is firm and I do not crap myself when I sneeze anymore.
There are others, I will post them as I recall them.
