new here
Well, l am new here,
I have decided to take a long break from drinking as I feel my health and my ability to control my drinking is suffering. I am in a wonderful relationship and alcohol has caused problems. My health has been a concern to me for the past three years. During the week, I exercise and eat well, but on the weekends I drink non-stop. Sometimes i go on binges that last longer than just the weekend. I have been drinking like this for nine years. I get a mild discomfort around my liver after my binges that lasts for several days. I went to the doctor last year because of this and they said my liver was not inflamed and my bloodwork came back fine. I took that as an excuse to continue my reckless lifestyle. I am almost 28 and I worry I have perminant liver damage. The amount of shame and guilt i feel weighs heavy on my shoulders.
