@@avalancheonmaui963thank you so much for asking. it's going amazing!!! The moment i made that comment on quitting i asked my wife to take the rest of my whiskey drink and poor it down the drain. It's now been 21 days after 7 years of non stop drinking every day. It was getting really really bad. My wife and daughter are super happy and told me how much my attitude and mood has changed. I am high on life again no more going back i am done being a slave to the alcohol. How about you? Are you trying to stop or have you already?

Stage 4 liver cirrhosis here. Diagnosed 2 yrs ago and varices as well. As soon as I was diagnosed, I got sober. Your body does some weird creepy stuff when your liver is failing. My blood work is normal and my liver is healing. Believe it or not liver specialist don’t know a lot about diet or how to heal your liver other than not drink. People are made to believe it is a death sentence and it is absolutely not. Working out as much as you can is very important as well. We will not go this way baby! God bless!

[@hemidancer64]

My son’s story is very similar. He was diagnosed with cirrhosis at age 34. He has been sober for almost 2 years now and is doing well. He had several varices removed also. His disease is well compensated right now, and we’re hopeful that he stays this way as long as he stays away from alcohol. I hope you are doing well, too. God bless you.

[@matthewbarker2935]

LD, my wife passed away last November from end stage liver disease at 38 years old. Watching your videos helps me to process the different stages of where she was at and the symptoms she exhibited. It can be a lonely walk, especially if you haven't lived with someone who has cirrhosis. All I can say is it's the worst way to go that I can imagine. You either choose to control alcohol intake on your own terms or if you'll be forced to do so with liver disease and that's miserable. Keep going, brother, we are with you LD! God bless your sobriety, you are making well on your promise to God to help those around you on this platform.

[@Serenity7250]

What helped me was going on a carnivore diet. That diet reset my body and for the first time I experienced alcohol for the toxin it is. The carnivore diet made me allergic to alcohol, literally. So I stopped drinking as it was giving me bad side effects. My ALT blood numbers went from 510 back to under 60. My liver stopped melting from daily vodka drinking as the carnivore diet made me hate alcohol for the first time in my life. I cant recommend it enough! Been 2 years with no alcohol and i dont miss it at all. If youre reading this and are having issues? Get on the carnivore diet. Its NOT NORMAL to get only good effects from a toxin! Reset your body, get your life back. Reversed type 2 diabetes and lost weight too.

I feel you 100% I've been in the food industry for about 8 years. From 17- 25 now. I've struggled hard with alcohol I drank in my teens when I had the access but once I turned 21 it turned into every day of drinking. Every day I'd get off work and grab about 3-6 mikes hard. It got bad to where I had work at 4am and I was drinking at 2am right after waking up. I could keep going but I am currently in the process of a bunch of test after going to the dr today and explaining everything, been throwing up and pooping dark blood(sorry tmi), pain in my right abdomen etc.its going to take about 2 weeks for my blood results and approval from insurance for the other tests. They are testing all of my organs from liver,gallbladder, pancreas,kidneys, every organ. Glad I listened to your story.

@@kenwin5845A lot of Christian religions discourage alcohol or drugs. AA was started by Christian people. It’s mainly the Catholic religion that drinks socially. Ask Pentecostals or other orthodox Christian religions if they do drugs and alcohol (some strict Christian religions are even wary of coffee or spices like the 7th Day Adventist Christians). Keep in mind that alcoholics are also open minded to other drug substances which can create a terrible combination. Also plenty of atheists drink alcohol as well so let’s not pretend it’s just Christians.

Thank you for sharing your story and hope continue to get well. Unfortunately, my brother past away just yesterday😢ive lost two brothers now to alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. He was in the hospital for month and a half esophagus varices ruptured and had three surgeries while in the hospital. Drs told him he'll die if he didn't stop drinking, he said he was done no more. But they continue to keep him in the hospital, then transfer to another hospital but from there he went down hill, he couldn't walk, use hands or anything he didn't understand what was happening to him ..they were giving him so much medicines orally and through veins, even said he was improving eventhough it seemed he wasn't, even said he would be transfer to another hospital for liver transplant...and within 4 days he was gone. This makes me wonder if it's even a good idea to even stay in the hospital for that long, cause it seems that at the end theyll still kill you and all those medicines with the liver problem the person already have, i think meds just make it worst. We're mourning because regardless he was a great person and we missed him so much. He was a veteran of the US army and went to combat, had PTSD and struggled with alcohol for so long but it seemed he got worst on the last three months or so.

[@GodisLove4Eternity]

I’m so sorry about your brothers. I agree with you about that medicines are also very damaging for the liver. Thankful for your brothers service. I had a neighbor that had PTSD from the service and he drank himself to death alone. So very sad. His legs had swollen up so much he couldn’t walk anymore and his top was so skinny he looked like a skeleton. Praying for all Dealing with this horrible addiction! Lord please help those struggling with this horrible addiction. Help them see it is a poison that is killing them and it is destroying their lives not helping them. Please lead them to have no desire for alcohol. Please help them heal and return to full health.

Alot of Chefs drink. I worked with a few. They were dangerous. They were drunk while working. I cooked in a Sheridan Hotel. When they got a break they would go across the street to Bennigans and drink. Then come back to work.

[@jeannettematthews7758]

Our active alcoholism story is the same. 1/2 gallon every other day or so. I’ve been sober 20 years, and you can too! One day at a time. If you aren’t in AA I beg you to become active. I’ve come to believe the most we can hope for in this journey is to help others. Your videos are helping many. You can help those in your community, and accept their love and help.

That smoke detector needs new batteries

[@waterlevelroute]

No, I think it's mine

[@kath57]

Will pray for you and your family ❤

[@brandondalehixon4748]

Did the doctors do an ultra sound on your liver to see if it was enlarged??? If so was it enlarged or swelled or did the ultrasound show any issues with your liver??? Thanks.

[@d.mushroomhunter3528]

The heart rate going through the roof is shock from the blood loss. The port in my chest was called a permacaths. It's a central line to provide fluids and mine was specifically used for dialysis.

[@oscargrainger2962]

Sounds like your Smoke alarm needs a battery, lol. Hope your better soon. God bless.

[@Redsnapper123]

Holy cow man. What a story. I can see you’re still alive from your recent videos i’d love to know the full story. The fact you forgot to do an update and forgot the video was even posted is memory loss related to cirrhosis?

[@FoodieBeautyStan]

Thanks for sharing. I’m listening.

[@thoughtsonpaper2]

I drink often, but I don't have this guy's story. Started drinking at 30. I have like 2 glasses of red wine and an IPA almost everyday... but very spread out over the day. I never come close to being drunk and never hung over. I know I drink more than average person.... but i don't think i need to change anything. Thoughts?

[@liverdisease-qb6rk]

Thank you, it is totally up to you. I just made a video recently about the harms of alcohol and the who just put out a study from the European region and they say that even small amounts of alcohol can cause major issues health wise. Alcohol is a category 1 carcinogen. I am not here to tell anyone what to do with their lives, I just want to bring knowledge and awareness on this. I never thought I would end up sick like I did, but I also drank a lot! Thank you for sharing. God bless

[@HeffewiezenDudeGuy]

Get a blood test. That should tell you. Alcohol is a poison. There is no getting around that. It may be good for relaxing, carbs, protein, and other medicinal purposes but in the end l, it's poisonous to our body.

[@pedazodetorpedo]

It might not sound like a lot of alcohol but the fact that you're doing that almost everyday means it adds up. If you're not really getting drunk it doesn't mean it's not causing inflammation and/or liver fat. I don't know where you live but most public health advice is not to exceed about 1 bottle of wine per week. I was regularly drinking 1-2 litres of beer nearly every day and I have stage 2 steatosis (fatty liver disease) which I only know about because I paid for a fibroscan after getting a slightly abnormal blood test result. Fortunately I do not have any signs of scarring but it was still a wake-up call. I no longer drink any alcohol at home and only have a couple of drinks very occasionally in a bar or restaurant. That one change allowed me to cut out 90% of my drinking. I'm not trying to go completely sober because I know I won't stick to it, so it's just harm reduction at this point.

[@pedazodetorpedo]

​@@HeffewiezenDudeGuyblood test might not tell you. My liver enzymes were normal, I just had slightly elevated bilirubin. The doctor said it's probably just a genetic disorder and harmless because I'm not overweight. I got a fibroscan which revealed a 60% fatty change in my liver ie moderate fatty liver disease.
