October 2007 was the year for me! My dad died of cirrhosis - was a bad alcoholic in the last few years of his life but he was only 56!! So, when I started seeing some signs in myself I knew I had to chagne. It was a terrible death to watch. So, I'm very happy & proud that you have been strong enough to stop... and I'll hope that it continues that way. Stay strong & remember there's always someone else out there going thru what you are, so talk... I know I'd be happy to listen & talk back. I know somethings about the tests you are talking about & you know that the liver is a self-healing organ that can recover if what is hurting it is stopped. Some people have what docs call "fatty livers" which can elevate certain enzymes. Especially tryglistrides!! My relative has levels in the 2,000 and its because of a fatty liver! Takes Lipitor for that but I guess what I'm trying to say is that sometimes these numbers are scary but can go along with genetics, etc. , and that some things aren't real serious although they should be addressed, and that one of the first big steps toward healing is the fact you stopped drinking. I'm not a "know-it-all" but trying to offer some words of encouragement and I'll allow the experts (bodybuilders, etc) address some of the issues you wrote about. All the best to you, and please feel free to write.
