Alchol use and abuse to your body

the answer is yes. your liver will repair itself as long as you have not entered the cirrhosis stage. as a recovering alcoholic of almost 3 years there are no visible signs of damage to my liver, and i partied like a rock star for almost 20 years. good job wanting to sober up for your kids, but in my experiences the only way to get and stay sober is to do it for yourself and only yourself. everyone else will reap the benefits. if you want to get involved with A.A. i highly recommend it. good luck.

You just answered your own question-------your SON. If need be go to a doctor to get help if you can't do it on your own. There is no shame in asking for help.  Kids need all the help they can get from parents and if you don't care enough to be there to help him to not drink, take drugs, answer his questions on sex, laugh with him, cry with him and love him: then he's not the most important thing in your life and don't pretend he is.

yes it can repair if its not to bad damaged it will take at least 3-6 months of no drinking at all to repair but after its repaired it might still be weaker than normal so just drink at christmas and birthdays

unfortunatly your liver cant fully heal itself, the effects of alcoholism are permanant just like the effects of long term smoking. and its also why alot of alchoholics come to need liver transplants. if your drinking 5 six times a day then thats not good but be careful even if its drinking once a day that to can have harmful effects in the long run. but dont just go by advice people give you here i would consult a doctor or physician about it to be on the safe side

Have you SERIOUSLY looked into A.A.?

You truly have to WANT to quit; if you are just giving it lip service then you will most definitely NOT be successful.

Quitting will be very difficult, no one is denying that. And no one is saying that quitting will automatically change your life, or bring you the support you need and long for.

What we are saying is that this HAS TO START WITH YOU.

YOU are the one who can choose to seek help. YOU are the one who can find inner strength to take it one day at a time. YOU are the one who can choose to join A.A. or another group and ask your sponsors for help in beating this. YOU are the one who can decide it is time to stop making excuses and stop having a pity party.

YOU, YOU, YOU.

It is up to YOU to look for resources and help and to KEEP LOOKING until you find ones that will work for you.

We can cheer you and encourage you - but we cannot do it for you.

PLEASE seek help! my kids father just passed away this week due to his alcoholic problems he died from ulcerated stomach and he was only 55 yrs old and he robbed himself of years he could have been here for his future grandchildren and it is a shame and it has hurt my kids so much.  I hope the best for you in this situation and if you can seek an AA sponsor it will be a real blessing because he did seek one and went for a few months which was the best time of our whole marriage which ended after he started drinking and becoming violent toward me and the kids.

Drinking much alcohol will lead you in many illnesses especially on your liver and it makes your body abuse. If you really wanted to change, change your lifestyle first, stop drinking little by little and you will see the big changes in you. Start it now, its not really too late, you have still your children, make a change for them. Make your self busy in order to forget your bad routine. Think, it's for your family.

It may not be too late for you to regain your health.

I commend you for wanting to change your behavior and get healthy so you can be a positive presence in your son's life.

You may want to ask your physician for advice and/or look into AA; either will be helpful.
