Snoozy, I'm so sorry to hear you are dealing with this!

When my liver enzymes were elevated, my doc did a liver biopsy and I was told I had cirrhosis (serious!) and had at most 5 years to live. That was in 2008. My abdominal ultrasound did not look good and the blood flow in one of the veins in my liver kept on reversing direction - a very bad sign. I just had my most recent ultrasound and my liver looks normal.

So, I also recommend avoiding Dr Google! All of those things are averages. However, I would take this as a major wake-up call that your body is showing the results of alcohol abuse. Please listen to your doctor and resolve to do whatever it takes to be sober.

Be well!
