Recovering alcoholic myself and 4yrs sober for me on the 10th of this month. It has been a long difficult road but it is worth it!
I pray and wish the best for you!

Happy Aniversary!!! :clap:
 
Welcome. Stick around and enjoy. How has post op been for the transplant? Thankfully mine healed after a serious accident. I had a level 4.5/6 liver laceration. Thankfully mine healed but I have to stay up on it and keep getting checks for liver function.

Glad to hear yours healed. The liver is pretty important I found out and once it gets so bad transplant is only option. I was an alcoholic with the thought that I wasnt drinking that bad...I wasn't gonna get that sick ...I was young still ...blah blah. young and naive. Luckily I was able to get my miracle and get a second chance. A couple months after my transplant i got real sick again and had went into rejection. But luckily other than that I have been very blessed. Spent not even 2 weeks in hospital after surgery and then my kidneys started working again ( they thought I'd need a kidney and a liver ) but by the grace of God I didn't end up needing a kidney. I feel so fortunate. Lately I've been struggling ...not with my sobriety but my boyfriend I've been with for over a year and a half ...I'm realizing has a drinking problem . And he's kinda mean sometimes I'm realizing and I have a hard time coping. I'm not drinking so I do a lot of crying ...lol not funny really but it's like I can't say anything cuz he yells at me and shuts me down and then if I get upset and loud back it doesn't help anything it just makes it so so much worse. I feel like I can't have an opinion cuz it never matters and if I do like I said he just tells me or screams at me that he has to defend himself . I'm like against what ...you made me cry ??? And the. Asked why and when I tell him why he takes it like I'm attacking him . I don't get it anyways. Sorry I kinda went on a tangent there. Hope you have a happy new years. Thanks for replying . 😀

I am a nurse and have been for 45 years.
I've taken care of those recovering from alcohol and drug abuse in various facilities throughout my life, both here in the states and England when I lived there.
I know about the struggle.
Keep on keeping on.

Thank you. I can't say how much encouragement means sometimes. It's hard not to get depressed or feel overwhelmed.like I'm supposed to be perfect. Cuz Lord knows I'm not.
