Dear @that.girl1,
Thank you for sharing your experiences and sorry you’re having such a hard time of it. As @Bansah1 mentions, a lot of us know exactly what you’re going through from first-hand experiences.
Liver damage (fibrosis) is reversible in most instances, especially when you haven’t felt any liver-related symptoms. It’s great that you have steeled yourself for changing your lifestyle for the better to help your body repair itself and stay healthy.
While staying sober indefinitely will help, the most important thing is to make changes that you can stick to over the long term. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you have the occasional drink (I sometimes go to the pub with others and end up having a beer). Small, persistent changes to habits add up and really do help over time.
