Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by wuzzbert: My doctor has told me to stop drinking alcohol for 3 months. Can I have a few on holiday?
I went to the docs becuase I go out at weekends and was drinking a lot (70 units a week approx). He said my gamma GT level was high (55) and that I should not drink for 3 months. Ive done a month without a drink and was wondering if when I go on holiday next week and have a couple at night (and i mean a couple) will this effect my detox and put me back at square one or will it be ok?

And by the way is a level of 55 bad?

Question by MMMM B’eer Verchina Expert: If I went to work drunk would I get a couple months off to go to treatment?
Also can you drink while in treatment?

And no they can not fire you for coming to work drunk due to alcoholism being a disease they have to try to help you the first time.
As long as you ask for help they can not fire you the first time.

Trust me I know these things.

Question by Ross: What will happen if I stop drinking alcohol for two months?
I’ve been drinking about 20-30 beers a week for the past three years. If I completely abstain for two months will there be any noticeable physical differences?
Anyone have experience taking a two month break from drinking after consistently drinking heavily for years?

You will lose weight, and you will give your liver and kidneys a break! You will most likely have lots of physical improvements.
