test results
I got my lab work back and everything was normal except my cholesterol was high. What a relief to finally see those results, I was pretty nervous. The Dr did tell me my body is still healing at nine months and she said usually it takes about 2 years dry to really heal all the damage. I hope anyone else reading this is inspired to go get checked as it is good piece of mind.

This is a big reason/ motivator for me quitting. Last year my liver, cholesterol, and triglicerides were all slightly elevated. I am going in December for a physical and don't want alcohol to be screwing up my numbers/ health.
Congrats. Gotta be a good feeling. If I can offer any advice, don't let a good health report allow your AV to talk you into a drink being ok.

Thanks you everyone for your continued support it really means a lot.
About the 2 years to fully recover, I imagine that is only some parts of our bodies as my test results were fine for my liver and kidneys. I am sure our brains need longer to recover than anything.

That's great news! I'm not at all surprised- I felt like I was still changing and getting healthier for a couple years, too. Some of the aches and pains I'd attributed to simply getting older completely went away after I got sober.
HI SVA. I'm really glad your blood work came back okay. I think the blood provides a window into the body, so they're quite important and a relief if results were satisfactory, as yours were. Did your doctor attribute your slightly cholesterol levels to your drinking? I recently had blood work done, glucose and cholesterol were higher than last year, but my liver enzymes were normal. That's was a relief.
