Esophogeal Varices - Any experience?

Won't drink anymore. It took an internal bleed from esophogeal varices this week, but I'm done. I'm on librium and scared to death to drink again.

I really don't want to die within the next four years from this which is what the stats say. They say with proper meds and not drinking I can live longer than that, but how long is that?

Anyone had this happen who quit, who's been alive a long time since the first episode? You have subsequent episodes after quitting? I could use some encouragement, because I really am scared to death. Scared enough not to drink is scared to death for me.
