God Bless ya’, Al. Yes, it’s horrific. My uncle did well, but, unfortunately, my father lost his battle and chose wrongly. Suicide. I miss him terribly and wish he was here to give advice for my kids. He was a remarkable man when sober. A business owner and farmer.
Both my parents drank mom got alshiemer she forgot she drank and smoked when we put her in a home dad stopped cold turkey that led to an er visit and a week in detox after that he was done he never missed a day seeing mom we took him or he got a taxi he did that for almost three years
