    Welcome Leanne. First of all well done for stopping drinking. I was diagnosed 6 months ago and like you don't know much my self. No drink no salt and eat healthy your doing the right things. I feel bad for saying this but I find this site very quiet and not much support the only reason in on now is that I received a email of New discussion. I found another site this last week and found great support and regular replys it the healthunlocked with liver trust. There are many stories on there that given me hope as there are many years from there diagnosed till now. And there experiences through this horrible disease. Best bit of advice I got was eat up and read up. And stay positive. Hope you find your answers. Best wishes. .
