My husband is an alcoholic and smokes a lot. He is in week 44. Level is below 15. He won't drink water. How does alcohol (beer) affect his tx and condition?

Whoa. Ask the doctor. I don't want to cause marital stress.
My friend was stage 4, on treatment, drinking. Died before he finished.

walsh your absolutely right about the slow suicide but try not to be so harsh booze is one tough habit to break. maybe the sickness of tx will make the man choose life over booze. yea, booze will wipe him out in only a few years at best. hep c? your friend booze has to go. there is life after booze and thats coming from a man who loved to drink the loudmouth..

your right walsh, i wasnt allowed to tx untill sober for at least six months. however tx often causes folks to relapse into addictions in an effort to cope i spose. tx is some bad shit.. nicole, we know your made of steel by now, but im accusing you of being a little bit of a bullshitter. you have to be feeling crappy by now, you must be the master of downplay.. bullshitter !!

...I went to AA have been sober for 2.7 yrs now, drinking and the liver are very serious issues, take it up with your doctor.

another point the dr's asked me if I was still drinking or using before I started tx, they won't let you do it unless you are clean and sober. The medication is very hard on the body and is really compounded if you are still drinking or using.
