when does yr body get back to normal after years of alcohol abuse?

Answer 1

Well I see the 2 point freeloaders have been here.
Alcohol related health issues can be reversed if you haven't caused irrefutable damage.
Once you stop using alcohol the body will immediately start reaping it self.
The liver is the only organ in your body capable of regenerating itself.
They say that after the first week that you stop using alcohol that the brain begins to change the way it sends messages to your body, and that the liver will begin repairing itself. After two months, the liver has replaced up to 30% of the damaged protion. And after a year the Brain has re-routed any damaged cells from the alcohol and it bask to a normal functioning brain.
At 2 years the liver will show an unprecidented 95% regrowth.
So it takes at least a year for your brain to function in the manner that it should and about 2-3 years your liver is like new.
Just remember you didn't spend 10 years killing things forthem to get better a month later. It take real time for the body to repair the deep effects of alcohol poisoning.

What do you mean by "back to normal"? Some damage can be done to the liver that can not be reversed, depending on the severity of the alcohol abuse... Alcohol can also make you look older after years of drinking and that's not going to reverse either. You'll def feel healthier after quitting if you go to a healthier lifestyle instead of a heavy-drinking lifestyle.

Answer 3

I know an alcoholic. His body never went back to "normal" Last time I saw him he had Parkinson's. He died from liver damage before he turned 60 & he'd been sober for 5 years.
I hope you can undo some of the damage, but expect to have a new "normal" body.
Congrats on getting sober!!
Best wishes

It depends on a few things. What you drank for one. A beer drinker will have more damage to the liver than a whiskey drinker. Damage from excessive amounts of any alcohol will destroy your liver completely. But your brain is another story. You will not get back any of the cells that are killed by the alcohol and it gets worse as you age because some cell damage is a normal part of aging.

Answer 5

That really depends on how bad the abuse was and for how long it went on. There are some things that happen to the body which are just not reversible, for instance, liver damage. If the drinking has stopped, the person should eat right, exercise, and live a clean life. They should also consult a doctor for additional information.

Answer 6

It depends on how much you abused it and for how long. If you've been drinking a case of beer a day for 10 years it's almost certain that you'll have irreparable damage, but it's still possible to lead a normal life after being sober for a year or so.

Answer 7

I don't think after you've caught the permanent red coloration
through out your entire body to where it has stained your body it's as easy as one, two and three. I think it can take faster or slowing then anyone.....Statistics can be superstitions and tell ya what you want or should believe. After all, think about how this world has been taught what to believe? How liable would "so called proven" surveys be?..Example: how do you get over a hang over? for some, water will do, coffee will dehydrate all (they say), sprite and whatever, right? Well, come on....Everyone is different, no?

Answer 8

Possibly never. There is likely to be long term damage to some organs. A visit to the GP with a frank and open discussion would help. They would then know what symptoms to look for and could arrange tests if they had any concerns. If there are any problems it's best to find out and then you can make any lifestyle changes that might be needed. Good luck.

Answer 9

Sadly, it may never get completely back to normal. Not all of the damage done by years of drinking can be simply undone. See your doctor, identifying alcohol related conditions and damage is best done by a physician. He will also know the best way to 'rebuild' the damage. Nutrition is most important. If your doctor does not include nutrition in the recovery plan, FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR.

Answer 10

A 19 year old son of a lady that my husband works with died last month from drinking too much, too quickly. Some kids dared him to down some Jack and he did. Two hours later, he died at the hospital. He made it to the emergency room, but he had so much in his system that there was nothing more they could do for him. Such an awful thing. Yes, she did the right thing in taking him to the hospital. Thank Goodness he survived. Many kids don't.
