Not to worry but take stock

I just watched the youtube "rain the heart". The most stark statement from the doctor was about cirrhosis and it being progressive even if you stop drinking. It didn't mention if it slows down when you stop. There was one subject in the documentary who had 10 years sober and then died of liver disease out of the blue.

No way of knowing if you are passed the point of no return in respect to liver as much of the damage is silent. On the postive side if you stop before cirrhosis reversing damage is possible.

I think I was having symptoms that indicative of pancreas problems. These have all but gone since stopping. The pancreas seems to play second fiddle in terms of health concerns compared to the liver but it is right up there.
