Really fast: Sober up and your liver enzymes can be okay in a few days if you haven't given yourself alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis. Keep up the good work and even if you have one of the advanced forms, it can often self-heal. I'm really happy for you. So is everybody who loves you. Congratulations.
