Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thank you for the query
I understand your concern
Well it's good that you have stopped drinking
The time needed to normalise liver enzymes may vary depending on how much the underlying liver is damaged it might vary from two weeks to even two years in some cases.
Those who have significant underlying liver scarring may take longer time than those who have mild swelling and no scarring of liver.
If you have a short history of drinking then the enzymes are likely to be normal early however if it is prolonged and significant drinking it takes longer.
Hope this answers your query
