He did. Otherwise he would not have had a liver transplant. You must be booze free for at least 6 months.

That one line in your post makes it look as though addiction is already starting to grab hold of you. a few years ago a very good friend of my family lost his battle with the booze. He was my dads best mate they were born nieghbouring houses, he was like an uncle to me but over the years i watched as the booze took hold of him. It got to a point where you never saw him sober, you would visit and he would always have an open can within reach of where he was sitting. It was heartbreaking to see this wonderful person, who i had a lot of respect and admiration for die a slow death. He never admitted he had a problem until just before the end. His body just shut down, his liver and other organs shot to bits. In and out of hospital until one day the doctors said thats it we can't do any more and a few weeks later that was it, he died. When i saw what he went through with alcohol and saw the changes in him, physically and mentally, i swore i would never abuse alcohol. I do drink, i do get drunk from time to time but i will never drink to excess on a regular basis. It's quite rare for me to drink alcohol more than once in two or three weeks. One thing that Peter succeeded in doing was to show me and my brothers the dangers. I can't think of how to put it but it installed something in my brain to stop me going overboard. I really miss uncle Peter and think of him regularly. Tragic that it had to end the way it did.

Then, no offence intended. You have a drink problem. Only you can sort it out. With support from docs of course.

Exfarmer's post is interesting, saying the fate of his uncle was a warning to him. Hmm my father was an alcoholic, didn't stop me though. Sometimes it's just life circumstances. |

My aunt and my mum died of alcoholism. I nursed my mum through it on my own, but I was still drinking like mad. It was a very slow and painful death. All her organs just packed up. Even that didn't stop me. I thought I was invincible. Until I ended up in hospital.

So did the liver doctors, knowing that he'd take it straight down to the pub, give him a liver that already had a lot of miles on the clock? |

I had a job when I was 20 driving a window cleaner to jobs - he was an alcoholic and he'd been banned from driving.
I realise now he had end stage liver disease - we'd be going to a job and he'd be puking blood into the window cleaning bucket. The job lasted six months before he inevitably snuffed it. He was 40 and looked 75. I was already fairly uninterested in drink - having grown up in a teetotal household I'd been brainwashed that it was the road to ruin. Watching the window cleaner slowly dying before my eyes confirmed this already ingrained belief. I wish they'd also brainwashed me about cigarettes. |
