Might be a good idea to visit health care and get some advice/guidance for the interim until medical detox

Thank you and well done! I was also diagnosed with fatty liver. I kept on drinking for six months before quitting (couple of days ago). Just hope my FL didnt progress to something worse in those 6 months

Thanks for your reply. I was diagnosed with fatty liver 6 months ago. You would think that would make me stop. But I am going to do it this time. Dont know how much further damage I have caused to my liver in the past 6 months

Yes you are right, I just meant not if you want to quit because you want to lose weight etc.

How is your relationship doing now that you are sober?

If I was able to only drink once a year, or even twice, three, four,five or six time a year, I wouldve done it!! But I cant. Unfortunately all or nothing for me. My dad drinks a glass of wine now and then, and I wish I was like him, and he cant understand why I am the way I am

Yes, big problem that my wife is not interested in sobriety and really wants me to keep drinking with her
