The good news, Fish, is that the first 2, I believe, are fixable with proper treatment.
And I would think also the last 2, but at least these shouldn't get any worse as long as you don't drink. I sure hope your doc is going to be working with you on these things.
One thing that helps me to not drink is to focus on what it will do to my health if I drink again. My blood pressure will start going back up and I'll get to go back to worrying about dropping dead from a stroke or something again.
