I've got an appt with liver consultant this morning. I saw him in September following liver biopsy, diagnosed with fibrosis, fatty liver and type 2 diabetes.When I last saw him I had lost weight as he advised and been abstinent from alcohol for a few months.
Got to face the music today, now heavier again and relapsed with the alcohol. I don't really know how this happened. I'm mad with myself because when I last saw him I felt fantastic and he commented on how far I'd come. Never mind, I will be honest. Got to draw a line under it and move on. I want to feel that good again.
Thanks for listening..

Everyone's journey is different, I told myself that I am Tee Total for the rest of my life and that's it as far as alcohol is concerned. It not been easy and I still feel lonely and an outcast, but is better than the alternative.
I went knowing what I had to face. I was told if I carry on the way I'm going I am on the road to a heart attack or a stroke. I saw a lovely Doctor who was very polite, easy to talk to but also very blunt and he told me as it is. I got upset and had a cry, the staff there were lovely to me.
So, here goes, I have done 1 day alcohol free! Got to go back to the hospital in 3 mths time.He is also referring me for addiction counselling....so here goes!!
