Thank you.
GP said, at my age, it's unlikely to have scaring or permanent damage but who knows. I've drank a lot and, while I know the liver is a forgiving organ, it can only take so much.
Really hoping that it's ok.

Needing help - quick question for you if you don't mind. What prompted you to actually go get the liver test? I mean, I know generally the liver is taking a beating especially for us heavy drinkers, but anything in specific that caused you to actually get tested?
I only ask b/c I'm wondering if that is something I should look into. I actually have a doctor's appointment in a few weeks (just my annual checkup) and I'm wondering if that's the time to actually come clean to my doctor about how much I am drinking and that I am concerned. (Gosh, just the thought of that makes me so scared though. I can just imagine the judgement...)

I was terrified about revealing the extent of my drinking to my doctor but he was great, not judgemental at all. It was scary though but I'm pleased I did tell him.
Good luck with your appointment
Lola there won't be any judgement from a Doctor. If you have any question about the health of your liver because of your drinking you should just do it. I just had one done on Monday. I was terrified but hoping if I have done damage it's not too late to turn things around. Still waiting for my results with fingers crossed
