Across recovery clinics and research institutions, a quiet but consequential shift is underway: science is revealing that the human body, long presumed permanently scarred by heavy alcohol use, retains a remarkable capacity for self-repair.

The deeper question this raises is not merely medical, but existential: how many people remain trapped in harm because no one told them healing was still possible?
