Hi, I’ve been drinking heavily for a few years but recently cut back a lot. I'm worried about the damage I might’ve already done to my liver. Can liver disease caused by alcohol be reversed if I stay sober and live healthier now?

Yes, in some cases, early-stage liver damage, such as fatty liver, can be cured by stopping drinking and adopting a healthy lifestyle. But once it progresses to stages such as cirrhosis, it becomes much harder or impossible to reverse. It is extremely important to get medical advice and regularly monitor your liver function. I recommend reading this: https://genesishouse.net/blog/liver-disease-and-alcohol/. It explains the stages of alcohol-related liver disease and what you can do to protect your health in the future. You are doing the right thing by taking action now.
