Alcohol and smoking abuse

The answer is yes the body can heal but it has limitations and everyone's different when it comes to there body taking abuse and healing. the liver is probably the most resilient organ when it comes to repairing damage but as I said it depends on alot of factors how much how long and genetics

I’ve been reading you can take steps to reverse some damage at least. But like pp said it depends on a lot of variables. 

Hello tom70687

I think what you might be alluding to in your post is whether if we have abused ourselves physically & maybe in other ways too, that there is hope?  Personally, I think that wherever there may be hope, belief and a willingness to change, all kinds of wonderful futures begin to emerge.

  

Sure, your body will slowly and naturally repair. 

Alcohol has long been deemed the bigger demon of the two habits, and for a long time, most patients were encouraged to put down the drink and not immediately to worry about putting down the cigarette. For many years, the dangers of cigarettes were kept secret. Then, as research became available that points to the many ills that they cause, patients were encouraged to quit. However, if the patient was a heavy drinker or an alcoholic, the stress of quitting cigarettes was believed not to be worth the stress that it would cause the patient who was quitting drinking. This is no longer the case. Heart damage is one of the chief causes of danger to the body from smoking, and other dangers are numerous cancers, arterial structure weakening, and higher blood pressure.
