Six Months to One Year: Patience Pays Off
Patience becomes your best friend during this extended phase. While dramatic improvements might slow, your liver continues careful repair work behind the scenes. Some scar tissue may begin improving, though severe scarring takes much longer and sometimes never fully resolves. Your risk of serious liver disease drops considerably. Many discover their alcohol tolerance has completely changed, and even small amounts now affect them differently. This extended healing proves sobriety isn’t just about stopping drinking; it’s allowing your body time to rebuild from the ground up.
