I turned 50 yesterday. I stopped drinking 2 weeks ago. I started drinking at 15 and I’ve been drinking daily for more than 30 years. Generally a bottle of red wine (700ml) a day and more than that on weekends (usually 2 or more a day on Saturdays and Sundays). I was either drunk or hungover constantly for many many years. Except for the odd day or 2 here and there when I tried unsuccessfully to stop drinking.
I am sure I’ve done damage to my body but the liver has an amazing ability to regenerate. As long as you stop abusing it. Don’t listen to the voice telling you it’s too late to stop and you may as well keep drinking. That’s the AV wanting it’s fix. And it’s a liar. It’s never too late.
I went to the doctor and astonishingly my bloods came back perfectly normal. I was amazed! I feel great (except for mood swings) and am exercising and have more energy than in a long time.
