Hello again, it's been a while
It's been a long time, almost 9 years since I posted on this forum. Well I'm back; barely surviving a long and horrible relapse. I stopped drinking almost a year ago, because I had no choice. I spent a week in the ICU with liver failure. I was in bad shape and didn't know if I was going to survive. I'm better now, in shape, labs are mostly normal, I'm productive again, back to church, enjoying family and new grandson. I'm obsessed with getting my life back. It's funny, others thought I had it together; wonderful family, career, etc. But, I was a master closet drinker and a fraud. I was not worthy. Now my secret is out for the world to see and in a sense I'm humiliated. But humility can be good, and realizing what I almost lost is giving me the drive to survive. My liver may never be 100 percent again, I have extensive scarring and a few of my counts are still off. We will see what happens, but for now I'm doing my absolute best to be healthy, trying to prove that I am worthy again.
Anyway, I have a lot I want to share and look forward to doing so with you on this forum.
