First Day
Hi,
After 12 years of heavy alcohol abuse, I have been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the Liver. I have been told in no uncertain terms that if I do not stop drinking, I will shorten my life significantly.
So here I am, my first day of sobriety. Not sure what to expect, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Welcome BertyBoy.
I second mako's advice.
This place can save you if you let it.
Dont expect to move mountains in a day. Take it ODAAT and get all the help you can. Withdrawl is tough if your going through it just stick to it and loads and loads of water and B complex vitamins are reccommended (common advice)
After a week you feel better. After a month much better.
Have you got a PLAN :

Welcome BertyBoy! Did your doctor give you any assistance for a safe detox? SR has been a huge support for me. Reading the threads and posting is important to continue my sobriety. One day, even one minute at a time. You can do it!

Thanks again for the advice and recovery plan link. My doctor advised that I should taper off over a 1week period, cutting consumption each day. I did that, yesterday was the last tapering day so here’s hoping.
