I never drank again until just the last Two days My sister past away
And the family all came together and anyway I broke down and Drank to two days it was Vodka ans I must say I drank quit a bit to where I am now a little worried I might have hurt my Liver again I know what I did was really stupid
Feeling pretty bad Today
I have been drinking lots of water and tea and some Boost drinks to try and flush it out,
As I say I am worried and was wondering if any one on here has been through any think similar and can lent some advice

So sorry to hear about your sister. The important thing is you only drank for two days and now you are getting back on track. As hard as it is, you owe it to yourself and your family to keep a clear head as you go through this. Stay strong and sending good thoughts you way. ((hugs))

I too am really sorry for your loss If you're at all worried, please go to your Doctor, who I'm pretty sure will reassure you or at least give you some tailored advice.

Be kind to yourself Xx

None of us can give medical advice; you should (all of you) consult a doc. Even if you have to go the ER. For those outside of the US, we have a decent medical system for those with money. If you don't have money or insurance things are less idea. However the law prohibits a hospital from refusing to treat emergent care due to lack of financial resources or insurance.

What's done is done. You can't go back in time and un-drink, unfortunately. For now you just have to commit to staying sober.

I'm so sorry for your loss, tony2toes. My dad passed away 2 years ago and I miss him every day. It has to be very hard for you right now. Do you have any other family around for support? After Dad dies I really went on a bender, drinking heavily every day. Ultimately it's also what helped me stop...I knew he wouldn't want me to drink myself to death. I'm sure your sister wouldn't want that, either.

What are you doing right now to try to get/stay sober? Are you doing AA or anything else? I have found that SR has is a rock, and it's really helped me a lot to get sober and stay that way.

It's good to have you here, tony2toes!

I'm pulling for you Naptime
My Bilirubin count was like 22 and it should be around .04 I think
I was a heavy drinker for about 10 years
Around an 18 pack of beer every day
