Ooops.

Dee74

You don't need to have any kind of qualifications to respond to someone else's post and give some empathy comfort and support back Frank.

^^what dee said.

I'm woefully underqualified if you use 'stable recovery' as a benchmark but, really, helping others helps you Frank.

Give it a try?

FrankLapidas

I don't sleep much lately,

mystified

Yep. Thats common.

FrankLapidas

Easy for you to say. It's tea and biscuits your time.

mystified

Agreed. Other people spend large portion of the night awake. You're not alone.

FrankLapidas

Actually I am. At least until Cissy gets here. She gives me hugs.

FrankLapidas

ZaBoozer

Hang in there buddy. The insomnia does pass with time mate. It took a while for me. The urges pass too chap - you know this. Have you looked into AVRT?

The Good: Got my labs back, they are perfect.

The Bad: Got my labs back, they are perfect.

The Weirdly: Either they got my blood mixed up with that of a Buddhist Monk or I have a stainless steel liver.

Most people here are probably familiar with liver enzyme levels. My ALT SGPT is 28. Normal levels are 10-58. Go figure. That's the good news, but in a way it is bad news. I was sorta hoping to learn that I had or was ruining my liver - one more incentive to lay off the booze. Oh well!

Dee74

I'm glad you had good news Frank - but the thing is - good news now doesn't mean you'll still have good news 6 months from now, or a year, or 5 years, if you keep drinking.

You also should consider that liver problems are only one of a myriad of things that kills alcoholics.

I think you should look at this good news as a gift and use it as motivation to stay sober and start working for your future.

You are funny Frank.

Anyway, I was kinda waiting on the news from your Dr. and am happy to hear everything came out ok. Keep it going man.

Great news Frank!
