      Sorry for your husbands situation. Abruptly stopping ethanol ingestion can cause serious health problems.. You should better take medical support. Keep posting how you’re doing please!

        Thank you for caring. My husband voluntarily went to hospital yesterday and is undergoing a medically managed detox. An important step which has brought me a little peace. Of course now my worry is how do I support him when he is discharged. I’m also struggling to come to terms with this being a life long illness. That makes me feel very low. I will call Icarus above for ideas.
