Liver Damage

i have a thread that talks about vicodin and different ways of consuming the pill and i noticed that almost every person mentions that APAP is really bad for the liver. i haven't abused APAP too bad but i have abused the shit out of chlorpheniramine. i know this is extremely bad for the liver and can really fuck shit up. I'm now sitting around fucked up on a bunch of vicodins and drinking thinking about how damaged my liver is. what can i do or take to repair this shit? i know the first thing is to stop drinking and taking random ass shit, but what would the second thing be? I'm really trying to quit my shit and start living a healthy life and i understand that this will take a lot of self control and hard work. is it possible to fix my shit physically and mentally?

Milk Thistle helps repair the liver. Buy it over the counter at herbal supplement/ vitamin stores. Also drinking the right amount of water daily can't hurt.

From what I've read, the liver is the easiest organ to regenerate. I've heard of people donating large portions of their livers, only to have it grow back. Just lay off the toxins, and maybe take suppliments to clean your system. You'll be aight.

Check on the post in ODD, it was said not to take APAP and drink. Hopefully the CWE worked for him.

The liver is like the brain.
Serious damage is fatal.
Most damage is reversible over time.
My friend Joseph shot his brain and liver to hell. He injected cocaine, meth, took acid every other day, smoked too much pot and drank constantly. He was on a steady diet of pills throughout much of his young life. When he was left in state-mandated rehab he was sick for six months straight.
When he got to college he had to read a sentence three times to figure out wtf it meant.
Now he is the perfect picture of health and in a Duke environmental studies graduate program.
Livers and Brains regenerate. They're meant to withstand abuse and come back from it. Your liver will be fine so long as you commit to a totally healthy lifestyle.

Yes, I think that your liver is the only organ which can actually "regenerate". Now your friend is most likely better off because hes off all the shit he was consistently on. You dont have to live in total sobriety to be healthy. You just have to be careful with the stuff that will really hurt you, and otherwise maintain other healthy habits.
