what a tragically sad story..i've seen things like this.....and so sad that she allowed others to literally **** on her and her home and life cuz of her disease.Must have been sickening to witness this!I feel for her family!they probly tried 2 intervene and she fought them as well!
thanks for the story....when your liver goes everything goes...billy
It was and still is an incredibly sad story and the worst part was that the family did try to intervene and she would have nothing to do with them...look now who is looking after her anyway and she has NO choices!
I know that this will not happen to every alcoholic but if it can get just one thinking about what they are doing and where their life isn't going...it will be worth the telling.

my friend was taken by police to the hospital last saturday night. his bac was .44 he was shackled to the bed screaming his head off. i visited him the next day at his home and he was drinking again. I'm afraid he isn't going to be around much longer. I'm so very sad right now....
We tried to intervene last night but to no avail. he was still drinking and I dont think he is going to remember any of it. I'ts too bad, because he is a talented freelance writer, a loving father, loyal friend etc.....it just kills me to watch him go down like this. my wife says i should just let it go because he isnt going to listen to anyone. I just cant do that. If he dies, at least i can say I did all I could to help him.
I've been sober/clean 24 years..work in the alcohol/drug field and watch folks do to themselves what this guy is doing on a daily basis...so many trying to help and they will go on doing their alcoholic thing.We can hope he sees the light...but sounds like ur doing the best u can and thats ALL u can do!I know how u feel!
I have another reason for people to stop drinking--my mother in law. She was once a very intelligent, beautiful, vibrant woman who also kept a meticulous house and yard. However, she also drank. Scotch--straight. When she drank she became the most miserable ***** you could imagine. She would cuss out her husband (her 3rd who was a saint!) and anyone else who pissed her off. Ironically, she was great to me and we had a very close relationship.
As time went on she got worse and we as a family tried to talk to her about how out of control she was. We offered her all the help she needed--money was no object. At this point she was literally drinking all day and all night and she slept maybe 3 hours throughout the day. Nothing we did helped.
One night as she was getting ready to go to the bowling league she got into a fight with her husband over some perceived insult. The next thing her husband hears a loud noise and he ran out of the bedroom and there was my mil crumpled at the bottom of the staircase. Ambulance called, taken to the hospital where they determined she had a bac of .42. Because of the alcohol they were unable to treat her the way she needed to be treated. Many months in the hospital and then a rehibilitation center later she was sent home.
What is left after the accident would break your heart. At the age of 60 my mil was confined to a wheelchair with brain damage in 4 places in her head. Her life consists of watching t.v., eating from a tube placed in her stomach, and soiling herself. And the man that she was so mean to--he sits next to her taking care of her (along with nurses her son hired) saying that he will never put her in a home. To me it is such a waste. Please stop while you have a chance---it's not worth it.
so nice to hear from u again..but this story tragic.I see things like this daily...which is why i took a vacation day!u take care!
