thanks noan.

He was leaning towards the gastritis and severe inflammation after describing my drinking. When asked if on the 12 - 14 days or so of sobriety I've had luck with if the symptoms go away... I said yes. They do. They are actually even better today than they were Wednesday.

Blood tests are next and will tell the tell of my liver. I'm pretty scared. I just turned 33. When I was 30, and still drinking, my 30 year physical showed no signs of damage. In fact, that doctor said "keep doing what you're doing..." lol.

But, it's taken it's toll. I hope and pray I am just temporarily damaged and it all normalizes.

I am dead seat on sobriety today. Today... I hope it holds. I have written all the damage I'm experience emotionally, physically, etc... for a reminder next time I want to drink.
