Hello, I'm new and have no idea how to start this without sounding negative.

I was diagnosed with cirrhosis 4 years ago (I'm 32) I'm sober for over a year and a half now.

I've been from recompensed to looking at a liver transplant assessment which I got declined from as I was too well and had to give it more time for my precious liver to heal so now im compensated and my last letter from Leeds said they are hopeful ill live my life without a transplant that's floored me to tears how remarkable the liver is.

My partner took his life earlier this year as I'm still sober and haven't even thought about drinking I still can't help but feel how could I ever date again in the future (not now) knowing I have cirrhosis and no idea of my life span, would I be a waste of time for them?

On a positive I have just completed raising money for this amazing charity and may I add I'm not jaundiced just over did it with the fake tan for summer to feel good

I'm sorry for the mixed post, a lot of crying, shaking, anxity but smiles won't into this post ... I hope it is understood.

Wishing you all health and happiness

I'm so happy to read you are now compensated. That is wonderful news. Keep up the good work!

I'm so sorry about your partner. But when the time is right for you, please do not hesitate to consider dating again. You will never be a waste of time - just be honest about your position. There is nothing wrong at all in making the most of what life has to offer.

Just to add well done on being a year and a half sober and for even taking part in such a race for our very own BLT, such an amazing source of help, guidance and support and its posts like yours that will help inspire others and give them hope so you just keep doing what you’re doing - you’re amazing 👏

congratulations on so many fronts: improving your liver function to become decompensated, being sober and raising funds for BLT. You are awesome and I’m sure you’ll find the confidence to date again when the time and person are right. No one knows how long they’ve got so you are absolutely NOT a waste of time for a future partner, you clearly have so much to give.
