Cirrhosis is damage. Scar tissue. Your liver does not function in affected area's. And is not going to ever again.
Without alcohol you can still get ''nonalcoholic fatty liver disease'' that eventually can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. But it can be cured.

Absolutely true. I have an obese family member with 25 years of sobriety AND cirrhosis. Quitting drinking is the first step, not the only step.
