I am so scared, I think my liver is shot...
I am in pain every day..My dad died because of alcohol...
I can go weeks without a drink, but everytime I drink my side hurts so bad...
I have such a good family, they tell me that I drink too much...
Recently I have started drinking a lot more
almost every day..3-5 drinks a day,,,
i am having nightmares about dying.

It is NEVER too late - Never. You can do it~ I just joined AA and picked up my starter chip. If I can do it - anyone can do it. I'm just starting out so.. I'm not sure how long I can hold out. I just know I have the desire to stay clean and sober.

It's never too late~

I read recently that the liver can repair a lot of damage done to it but it sounds like you need to cut out the drinking pretty quick like. I recommend AA...

I agree with mrcoffee, You should have that pain checked out by an MD,The night mares don't sound good either they just might drive you to drink.Go to a AA meeting to day and just listen get accquainted with the group.They will make you feel welcomed

I agree, it is NEVER too late. First you need to go to a doctor and make sure you are ok. You also need to get to a meeting. You don't have to talk, just listen and introduce yourself. You will hear some useful information that will help in your journey to sobriety. Good Luck

We can tell you to get help until we're blue in the face. Your father died from this disease and your liver hurts when you drink, unfortunately this disease has nothing to do with logic.
Are you ready to get help? If so I would call 911 and get yourself to a hospital, detoxing on your own is extreamely dangerous...people do have seizures or worse trying to do this themselves.
Best wishes to you.

Restless, irritable and discontent unless they can again feel that ease and comfort of the 1st drink. The problem is not drinking, it's ourselves when we're sober. You can feel that peace without drinking too. Work the steps. It sounds like you're able to put together a few sober days, start the steps and do something different. If you don't start doing something different, nothing will change. It's almost too late, but not yet. GET INTO ACTION.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
