Day 51 and decided
it is time to go see the Doctor for a check-up. I am nervous, but just want to make sure all is OK. Feeling OK, just tired still. Also will be straight up with her and let her know I am an long term alcoholic. I have been watching too many videos on cirrhosis of the liver and I am scared. No symptoms of any sort ,but still want to have all blood work done. Probably should not be watching them. Anyhow just touching base. DAY 51!!!

50 days , brilliant .
I,d stay away from Dr Google . I used to do this for the least pain or sensation and always saw what I didnt want to see which freaked me out sending me to the GP who found nothing was ever wrong .
Its good your being checked over for peace of mind .

I ended up seeing a new doctor when I quit drinking and I went full in and told her everything. She has been fantastic and I am so happy I found her!
I did have liver enzymes testing out of range (one of the reasons I decided it was time to quit for good) and within a very short period of sobriety, all of my tests came back in the normal range.
You are doing the absolute best thing for yourself, heaven!

Just a side note - the dentist is a good idea, too. Sadly, I found out that I need 3 fillings done. But at least all of my teeth aren't falling out! (I neglected to go to the dentist for two years - kept canceling due to hangovers) It's a really good idea to have good dental health because this can have a huge overall impact on your body as well. I had a good cleaning done and it was painful, but I felt healthier afterwards now that my mouth is all tidy!
