Hi. I just want to say that jaundice and liver failure can also be reversible - because I did it. My numbers were off the charts, I was neon yellow-orange, eyes and all, and they talked to my mom about "what if" .. including transplant or death..... I stopped drinking immediately.

In hospital, they gave me potassium, vitamins, and lots of liquids, and food (I hadn't been eating) .. After about 4-5 days I was improving, and they sent me home (with follow-up visits scheduled with the specialist). ..... That was over two years ago. I recently had a short, stupid relapse, but am sober once again - and forever I hope ... and my liver tests are now "perfect". No cirrohsis, no fatty liver.

(I have heard that lemon helps cleanse so I drank a lot of warm lemon water. I also read that coffee is good for the liver and other things and I started drinking coffee two years ago too and still do, and eating better and healthier foods.)

I don't know if I got lucky or what, but I am so grateful.... and one thing I can say for certain is that things won't get better, and will in all likelihood get much worse, if you don't stop drinking. Be thankful that you have this "heads-up" and the chance to turn things around. Use that!

Best wishes to you!
