My mom got pancreatitis from drinking, which shot her pancreas and now she has type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent) with very fragile reactive blood sugars. When she complains about being sick I feel no pity for her at all because it is a direct result of her actions. She is in complete denial however and likes to imagine all her issues sprung out of bad luck and drinking has nothing to do with any of it.
pssh. She might wish to forget, but I will never forget.
If it wasn't for court order, I don't think she would have quit. And now, she might be drinking again....
Kudos to you Richard. WANTING to quit and doing it are such big steps and I truly admire you for it.
