I wish you well and you have my blessings Greg. That is a very difficult situation to deal with and it is compounded and that much more stressful when it is someone you love. I went through a similar situation with my sister a couple of years ago (I can only think similar but it may not be similar at all). It was her children (my neice and nephew) pushing her to stop drinking that pushed her to change. She considered herself a social drinker and nothing more. Denial of course. Once the alcohol was out of her system for a few months (yes I typed months) then her health finally improved. I think a lot has to with how many toxins the body can stand.

But, somebody did tell Angela ;-) She pulled through great. She is currently having problems moving she legs much, but the doctors fell it will pass soon.

>She is doing much better, but she does have some off days. Today being one of them. I think yesterday she pushed herself too much, and now she is paying for it. I am sure that tomorrow she will be feeling better (I hope). The doctors beleive the problem is temporary, but they really can not give me a understandable answer to the cause. We plan to see a specialist soon. Perhaps then we can get some answers.

>My biggest problem is that Angela thinks she knows more then the doctors, or anyone else for that matter. They (and me) tell to not do something we know will cause more problem, and she ignores us, and does it anyway. I wish I could break through she bull-headness and make her see that see needs to listen.

>For you see, she has a drinking problem, and the doctors (and me) tell her it is the drinking that caused her problem. She is denial, and she thinks the problem is some kind of Cold. But for over 6 months? I don't think so. I truly need to find her help. First she has to want the help for it to truly help.
