Will my liver degrade faster after recovering from alcoholic fatty liver disease?
I was recently diagnosed with alcoholic fatty liver disease, and I plan on abstaining from drinking for several months (33 days sober currently) to allow time for my liver to heal back to its normal state. I totally understand the best option for me is to continue to abstain for the rest of my life, and I’m seriously considering it at this point, but I’m curious: since my liver has already sustained serious damage, will I be more susceptible to a more rapid progression of liver disease as a result if I do end up drinking again after I recover?
I drank heavily for six years with few breaks longer than 2 weeks (maybe 4-5 instances lasting longer than that) in that time. Would “round 2” likely move on a faster timeline than the first go around if I were to pick up that same habit again?
