The good ole days ... I remember those mornings.

Do you puke before you drink in the morning or after ?
I use to hate drinking to get the pain over only to throw up
a good buzz then I hated to start over .


I had to puke first to get all the nasty bile out of my stomach
from the day before. Sometimes I had to stick my finger
down my throat to toss up the big hunks.

Your likely on the way to cirrhosis .. unless your liver AST tests
are above
2000 or so your quite there yet. Have you really had blood tests
recently ?

No.. Your body is telling you it's time to seek help and quit drinking.

You know Chris . I had the same symptoms and worries you have ..
My liver pains were due to inflammed liver ..
I looked like shit, felt like shit .. and it kept getting worse
and I kept getting scarier ... but the next day/week/ would start all
over.

1. You need to see a doctor.
Do you have medical insurance ?
This is covered as *being sick*.

2. Do you mental health/ addiction coverage ?
Have your doctor submit a form to your
insurance seeking inpatence rehab.
6 weeks off .. You get well .. You get your life.
You've been distracted by addiction and your killing yourself.

You can lurk AA .. but if it was easy .. everyone could quit.

Even if you don't have coverage .. $12000 rehab is less than death
or
lawyer/ court fee when you kill a family of 4.

2 years + . Changed my life . Happy, sober . Alive.
