I'm Winning the Battle UPDATE
Hi All,
I told you in the above post that I had a liver check up today, and that I would find out the results of the ultra sound performed on my liver. Good news is that I don't have any scarring (hence, no worries as far as cirrohsis of the liver goes)as long as I continue to abstain that is. I do have alot of fatty build up as a result of my heavy wine consumption, but according to my PCP, as long as I continue to abstain, the problem will correct itself.
Today is 23 days sober (no mind altering substances of any kind), and I feel great. I have a high amount of energy for a change. I haven't found myself craving wine, but I have been drinking lots of water and coffee (mainly expresso by the pots full). Last night between 8 and 10:30 I drank three pots of expresso and still had no trouble sleeping - pretty cool.
Remember to stay focused, positive and upbeat.
If in heaven we don't meet;
Hand in hand we'll bear the heat;
If it ever gets too hot;
A Starbucks Latte hits the spot!
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Love & Huggies Galore,
Marina

The neat thing about the liver is that it does heal itself. That is so good.
Keep fighting the good fight and keep doing the next right thing. It does get better.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
