Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. The rise in ALT and AST is due to hepatic damage.
2. If you stopped your alcohol, then the damage should stop and the enzyme levels would come back to normal, within a month.
3. The liver injury due to alcohol intake, will take much longer, maybe six months. If there is plenty of fibrosis, it cannot be reversed.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
