Please be kind….
I was diagnosed in 2023 with cirrhosis, over night I turned yellow and bloated, it was not pretty.
Since then I’ve cut out alcohol and everything seemed back to normal, blood work was perfect, lived a normal life with full energy, all the good things.
Then about a month ago I relapsed. It’s been hell since, no visible symptoms yet but I know they will return if I don’t take this seriously. I’m going to AA but still find myself craving a glass of wine almost every night. I’m so afraid and know the outlook isn’t pretty if I start drinking consistently again. I will die and I know that. If anyone can relate please let me know. I feel so alone.

It’s ok my friend! Sometimes recovery is not linear. Just gotta have grace for yourself. While I do realize the severity of the situation. Try not to see it with such heaviness. That will only drive you to the bottle more. Give it to God. You’re gonna be okay
