If it is early stages of liver damage, then there is a possibility that the liver can repair itself Jon. You mention that your liver was badly damaged.... have you had a liver biopsy or any form of imaging? If it is truly badly damaged, then it may stabilize, but it is unlikely to fully repair itself.

Implicit in all of this is abstention from alcohol for a period of months/ years to give the liver a chance to recover, or for good if there is serious damage.

The best person to get this information from would be your Doctor, since it is they who will have the best idea of how badly damaged your liver is. Go see them.
