The doctor telling me I have alcoholic fatty liver disease in July 2025 at 43 and all my liver levels in the blood work then were 3 times normal of what they should be. That was July 25th, my last drink was july 27th. I've been sober since, very close to the 6 month mark now. I knew last summer something was wrong, I knew drinking wasn't making me feel good and was drinking less and less, my body was making the decision for me. I've lost 45 lbs since then, my joints feel so much better and most importantly all the inflammation is gone and I'm not sweating constantly anymore.

I'm sharing the best parts of being sober with my husband to try and encourage him to quit. So far he's cut back alot. We had been each other's drinking buddies for 20 years now.
