I just saw it today also. Apparently he has passed. I am an RN for 43 years. One of the scariest things I ever saw was a ruptured "esophageal varicosity." The blood shot for 10 feet across the room. A varicosity is like a bubble. We have very large arteries that exit from the top of the heart under pressure that are beneath esophageal tissue. Ingesting corrosive liquids...including ethanol, acids like vinegar...and even beverages that often have a ph below 3!!! Coca-Cola has a ph of about 2.7 and is caustic. Apparently alcohol is worse on the esophageal tissue than low ph drinks...which is surprising to me. Apple Cider Vinegar comes with a warning to dilute before drinking to prevent this very thing. I dont know if we will ever hear exactly how the rest of his life went before passing..I havent discovered it if it's there.

Ah so have I, bless him didn't realise he's paased 😢

Ah man. I was just cruising KZfaq and found this, and I was wondering how he was doing. 😞

Roger, my uncles ex wife died that way. She was found after she died from the rupture. That’s an incredibly harsh thing.

@Jerry-sn4nx I watched a tough one on a hospital floor. Spooky when you are talking to a person and they shoot blood across a room. Not many survive it.

Sorry for your loss 🙏

Sorry for your profound loss and God Bless. Lost my brother to pancreatic cancer 3 years ago. He fought hard and lived life the best he could until the end

My husband passed away Oct 24 , 2020. He was drinking all his life, he was I’ll for many years and I knew he would die before me. It was the hardest time in my life and I miss him very much. My condolences to you! Let’s be strong, life belongs to the living!

First let me say that I am so sorry for your loss. We were the same age. I was hard on my body, not drinking or drugs or anything. I would get out on a motorcycle and do something really stupid. I would pop right up and chuckle. But toward the end of my 30s I noticed that my body would hurt whenever I got cold, of the air pressure was high it was not so bad, at least for me. If it was super low then I would have to lie around and ache. As the years went by, the aches got worse. Then I was diagnosed with a degenerative bone disease and that was it. Now I have had surgeries all over my body to stabilize this, or pin that. Now I can barely walk and I am confined to either a bed or a wheelchair. Cirrhosis is not something I would want to deal with. My grandmother had it and never took a drink in her life. I am so glad you were able to spend time with him.

Doesn't seem like a change, but because the Doc said your going to die

When did he pass??

12 years sober. I'm pretty sure your liver is ok now. That doesn't mean to start again. The lliver is the only organ that will regenerate itself over time. I'm sure you know this, but don't make the same mistake twice.

unfortunately it won't. The problem lies with the fact that in order for the liver to regenerate it needs to regenerate from healthy tissue. If you damage that healthy tissue then it doesn't have something good to regenerate from .

​@@minkorrhin this video he says he's been sober for 30 years?

I'm saddened to hear that. Watching videos like these opens your eyes to how precious the liver is. You can get cirrhosis from NAFLD that can turn into fibrosis and so on. Some people are ignorant and there is a stigma attached to alcoholics. At least people like this gentleman reached out for help.

I'm so very sorry!

RIP beloved

@@Tackettt12 I’m actually at one week now thanks for asking. I drank last Sunday, I’m looking for meetings for my addictions. How are you doing ?

@@hbrotha1866there’s an easy way to quit alcohol.

Your God is weak. Your God is cruel. Your God is Narcissistic. Your God can't stop women and children from being raped. Your God can't stop wars in his name. Your God admits there are other Gods in his 1st Commandment. Your God can't stop hunger. Your God cant stop cancer. Your God can't stop murder. Your God can't stop aborting thousands of babies every day. Your God can't show his face. Your God can't. Or maybe he won't. Or maybe he doesn't know. Regardless of why your God can't, won't or doesn't know, he has done nothing about these things. And since he is so weak, why do you worship him as a God? Your God is not real, and you are weak for believing in a Middle Eastern Myth.

Your doing great keep it up

It is sad. My dad died as a result of smoking in 1990! Still miss him. Too young and missed so much of our lives. Enjoy every day and fully appreciate those around you!

Sorry for your loss. My 30 year old son died of the same thing your Father did, back in May of this year. He was home for the last 5 weeks of his life. It was hard watching him waste away, but he wanted to do as much as possible before he passed. We did do alot of things with him, and we suffered with him too. This caught me totally by surprise. I have never known anyone his age have this happen. I still feel like he got cheated. His birthday recently came and went, and now I am preparing to get through Christmas without him. It amazed me how little "modern medicine" can do for this. It felt so hopeless, and helpless. I am sorry again for your loss, I hope you have a fantastic holiday season. Peace.

I can relate. Brother was diagnosed in July 2023 and passed September 2023. It was fast. Six weeks from diagnosis to death. First symptom was in July 2023. Miss him terribly!

Did he get put on a donors list,?

Short answer: No. He was flown to Denver for a transplant evaluation, and he was denied due to the bad state of his kidneys. He wouldn't have had enough time anyway for a transplant. He was gone 5 weeks after he got home from Denver. Thanks for asking. Peace@@valeriemikepinera3828

I havent wanted to drink not even a drop since I stopped. I have been researching it and its terrible. I never knew how bad it was and I was abusing it for years.

How are you feeling Woody?

Praying for you Mama....not easy. 🙏❤️🙏

Hi Woody, thank you for sharing your story. Were you diagnosed with cirrhosis 30 years ago when you stopped drinking? My 34yo son was diagnosed last year and he stopped drinking, but I don’t know what his long term prognosis is. Seeing you still going gives me so much hope. I wish you continued health and the transplant that you are seeking. God bless you.

@@hemidancer64 Elin bless you and your son. I do hope that he's going to AA or getting some type of sobriety support because often/ usually if you don't get support w/ sobriety it's very easy to relapse. It sounds as though your son is lucky to be alive... The body has the amazing ability to heal itself, if proper care and attention is given. I wish you all well.

Good luck keep the faith.

Wow nice how many carbs was she eating

Junk food is similarly damaging to the liver as alcohol.

Please check again. Not so easy. It takes lots of work and time and never goes away. Second, sometimes 3rd opinions help but always lurks in the background. I know. 2010 passed out, cracked head open, 911, last rites. Always at Dr's for years. Nobody knew until ammonia odor. 14 years ago. 2 other episodes. Still here. Thank God.

Thanks for the definition of varies. My husband just passed of non alcoholic cirrhosis. I had heard the term for years but not sure exactly what it was.😢

Wow - so he was a music man! I thought he looked that way 😎RIP

He died last year unfortunately.

So sad, my mother years ago passed away with that. Other than that, GoFundMe pages are only issued for only a month, at least the one that was set up for me was, not sure if they can go longer.

That's sad man, 21. The liver is very different for different people though. I have seen people with hep c who drank heavily their whole lives and their liver was actually fine still, very little damage. I have seen other people who actually blew there liver out in about a year from very heavy drinking. That's what I mean by saying people can vary a lot when it comes to the liver and how it responds. I'm surprised he had ascites so severe it killed him at that age. He must have had some pretty bad liver damage if he had that. He must have been in extreme pain too, as ascites is usually extremely painful. There are so many people who are extremely bloated though and they never have a problem. Even people who are fat and sort of bloated never seem to. I'm not even sure how you would know it's real ascites or very serious ascites. The kind you need drained I mean. From what I understand ascites is very very painful and uncomfortable though, the person should have some idea based on pain and discomfort. Do you know how much he drank between being 15 and 21? I knew someone who's liver was failing in his 20s from extreme drinking. He had end stage liver disease, but it wasn't at it's worst, and doctors were able to take care of it without a transplant. Very sad whenever someone dies young. I'm sorry you lost your friend Chris.

@@billj4525 i'll level with you, i extrapolated a lot of the info just from the facts as i know them. it was a real hush hush thing with his family and it was suggested well in advanced that inquiring too much into the cause of his death would be met with severe push back. everything i said about him being a heavy drinker and him having a severely bloated stomach, while being relatively thin everywhere else, and that he died very suddenly of cirrhosis, are the facts as i know them. as you've commented on, people can really beat up their livers and still live long lives regardless. however i've personally never come across, or heard of anyone, beating up their livers in in such a short amount of time, and dying as a result. it's possible he had some congenital issue with his liver, or perhaps suffered from additional comorbidities, however by all other metrics he gave the impression of being an otherwise healthy individual. the intent behind my post wasn't to skew the facts, but to let people know it's possible to die from liver disease, or some effect as a result of livery damage, even at a young age.

:(

is it confirmed that he died? If so may he indeed be at peace by God's side - and may his story inspire others.

There was a response below, that said he had passed.

Fast and pray. Ash God to never leave or forsake you and break the spirit of addiction from you. Fasting is key. Don't forget to pray/ask while fasting.

You will wonder why you ever felt the desire to drink. I quit 3 weeks ago after experiencing a health scare and I will never risk being in that situation again so long as I can help it. I'm not too old either and haven't been drinking much or for very long.

More power to you brother. @@DissonantShadow

Man, I pray you have stopped especially after seeing so many family members die and suffer from this. I mean you were given so many red flags. How can you turn around and do it to yourself I just don’t understand. Not having the knowledge of how bad alcohol can be, is definitely a reason why so many people abuse it but after you have the knowledge that there’s no excuse to drink unless you want to kill yourself. I pray you are sober and healthy

You can do it. One day at a time. Just for today, I'll choose to not drink alcohol.

Look into cataplex b . It'll help the transition for your body using your own energy vs. Alcohol. If you need more guidance on it look up Dr. Daren schmidt. He has a practice and you can pay for advice as a patient or look up his free videos

I found it helpful to switch to herbal teas and drink them while watching KZfaq when I'd normally drink beer or liquor at home. I will have the occasional joint now instead as well, which isn't great for my lungs, but still infinitely better for me than drinking was. No hangovers, more appetite, more awareness & productivity.

I quick drinking a long time ago. I always say to myself that I’m high on life instead of drugs and alcohol

you can do it big boss!!! you deserve to live a healthy life and youll be glad you did.

Indeed! Word is he was the life of the party 🥳. 😶

Yep all that praying certainly helped

He died

How do u know he died

More education? There is no money to be made in educating people about the dangers of alcohol. In fact, the exact opposite is true. The special interest groups from big wineries, distilleries, and breweries pump tens of millions into political donations to make sure nothing like that EVER happens. Do you think the tobacco companies were bad? lol These big alcohol companies do so much more damage than tobacco ever did both in terms of death and misery as well as in resources spent. These companies expect a return on their investment. Alcohol takes a long time to kill someone. Sometimes it takes decades. How much does the alcoholic spend on booze over the course of a year, let alone ten years, 20 years, or 30 years? How much does an average alcoholic drink in a day? Probably a couple of liters of hard liquor (at a minimum). How much does that cost? Maybe $30/day but probably more. Let's do the math $30 x's 365 = $10,950/year. How many alcoholics are in the U.S.? We can't know for sure but we need a number to work with. So, let's take the CDC's estimate of 8.1 million. What is 8,100,000 x's $10,950? That's right - 88.65 BILLION dollars. We have probably severely underestimated the cost though. We haven't even touched on the medical costs. This guy alone is seeing 3 top surgeons who are running all sorts of tests on him. He has (had) a transplant TEAM assigned to him. That is multimillions of dollars worth of healthcare for one man in one or two short years and now he's dead. Where did the money go? It certainly didn't go to save him did it? Again, he's dead. People have to want to avoid death more than they want to numb the pain in their lives or the satiate their addiction. I'm fairly certain that this fellow is now dead or so sick that he can't post. He hasn't posted on KZfaq for over a year. His GoFundMe is no longer accepting donations. Why do you think that is?

You are so right! Alcohol is actually a poison. Our gov’ts promote it, bars open until later and later each yr (will soon be 24/7). Our province just approved open drinking in parks and beaches! (I am in 🇨🇦) my hubby and I were both heavy drinkers but quit 15 yrs ago (now 65). Hubby is now dying of liver cancer but liver has cirrohsis too. I guess I’ll be next.

He obviously have hep c

People with Addictive personality have to be very careful, it’s not just alcohol they have a problem with.

Sorry to hear that

@@ceasarwright7567 Thanx, I appreciate the sentiment.

The guy passed away

Are you stuunad??

Try a product called liver aid. Don't eat gluten anymore.

My cousin also. She was 42. Not a big drinker but for her system- paired with too much daily Tylenol- it was a lethal combination and she died suddenly. Shocking, but it can happen. Warnings are on the label of both drugs.

He most likely got it from Hep C. Liver repairs itself unless it has Hep C or B

we all get taken out in the end. there is no avoiding it.

@@maxwell-gn2jn Thanks for mentioning this, I've stopped the drink for a long time now but that fear was always there, "what if the damage is already done?" and then I hear this poor man Woody died from cirrohis after so long sober.
