60 days - bloodwork disappointment until…
The end when I saw my AST/ALT were down to more than half of what they were when I decided to stop drinking 60 days ago. My AST is 22 (down from 50) and my ALT is 20 (down from 45).
My MCV & MCH are still right at the “high” mark, relatively unchanged from my last check and I was feeling really defeated after seeing that. Then, throw in what a garbage day I’ve had and I was seriously considering drinking the bottle of garbage Bordeaux that I couldn’t even bring myself to drink when nightly wine was my thing because today was THAT overwhelming and all around awful.
But I re-read my results, realized I missed the AST/ALT readings and thought about how that is a pretty telling improvement to my health, all by itself.
So here I am, typing this with my nightly Pellegrino seltzer in front of me and not wine. IWNDWYT.
