I'm alcoholic so maybe I can just lessen the amount of alcohol I take, I can't just avoid it. I'm also a smoker. I'm planning to quit or dramatically reduce smoking cigarettes.
Can you please tell some tips regarding liver cleansing.

Eliminating tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and refined sugars and fat is a good start. Drink plenty of water. To flush your system you can use bitter herbs like licorice and dandelion.
This. Also, taking a supplement that contains a combination of Milk Thistle, Dandelion, Globe Artichoke and Rosemary. That's what my naturopath put me on. I never drink or smoke, but my liver crapped out from some medication I took.
A Chinese Medicine Practitioner told me that all fruits should be eliminated from your diet, apart from apples, because the liver processes fructose, and it is actually worse for you (in terms of liver function) than any other form of sugar. I don't know how true this is, and I still eat fruit.
Fruit is an important component of any diet. Both galactose and fructose are insulin independant and although you are right they are processed by the liver they are not damaging unless eaten in large quantities where eventually fatty deposits will form.
Do you mean glucose, not galactose? Galactose is a sugar too, but not commonly found in fruit.
Apologies if I'm wrong.
Yeah, I thought it sounded kooky. He was a bit odd. And none of my naturopaths (with nutritionist qualifications) said that, so I ignored it.
Make an incision, remove liver, plop it in the sink and wash it. Replace. Suture. Done.
drink a lot of water, it will cleanse your liver/kidney, but the damage you did to your liver/kidney will be irreversable, unless you can contact a doctor about surgery or anything to help.
Livers can fucking regenerate if you let them fucking rest you liver-beating fuck! It's fucking true, wiki-fucking-pedia that fucking fact you fucker!
Drink plenty of water (and of course stop being and alcoholic).
I once read online that you should fast for a while and only drink lemon juice to flush out any stones.
Yes. I read that OP is an alcoholic, and wants to cleanse their liver, and wonders how to do so. Step 1: Stop being an alcoholic.
It would be incredibly difficult to write if I couldn't read.
yeah, he/she wonders how to cleanse liver but without drastically reduce the intake of alcohol or quit drinking alcohol in a snap.
Somebody who wants to cleanse their liver, but wants to keep being an alcoholic, must be quite naive. Longterm alcoholism is a one-way-ticket to liver disease, and trying to find a way to skirt around the consequences of a very dangerous habit is futile.
If you stop drinking before or in the early stages of alcohol related liver disease, your liver can repair itself. That's why my only advice is to stop being an alcoholic. That should be first and foremost, top of the list.
