Stopped Drinking Mood
Friday, August 22, 2008 | A General Update story

I managed to stop drinking, after a long period of extremely heavy drinking. My liver has been damaged, but not severely. My stomach hurts sometimes, like hunger pains, but severe ones, burning ones. but eating fixes that, so long as it isn't something that would hurt the stomach lining. I haven't seen any effects of the liver damage since that night when I felt like I was going to die. That night was terrifying. I spent the whole night throwing up, sweating while freezing, shaking, in severe abdominal pain, etc., but after I stopped drinking, the symptoms cleared up. Now only my disease remains, with no extra outside things hurting me. I have found another strong medication which is extremely expensive, extremely. However, it gives me the ability to walk and function, so I'm willing to pay big bucks for it.
