I’m 8 months and a few days in too. People joke about New Years resolutions, but this one seems to have worked out for you and me.

If you looked after yourself before, you might not have noticed any physical changes. I haven’t lost any weight as I was/am a gym goer and runner so always burned off my alcohol calories. However, an ultrasound in December diagnosed a mild fatty liver, but then a private fibroscan* done two weeks ago showed all that fat had gone! My liver is healthy and supple now. What a recovery, and all I did was stop drinking! Your liver will be thanking you too.

* Having a fibroscan was overkill, but I’d drunk for 20 years and could well have had some fibrosis or scarring. I’m very relieved that’s not the case. I’ve been let off Scott free.
