Thank you for responding! He finds old hidden empty bottles which are great reminders of where we both have come from! I went to Alanon f p r years also a family heavy with the disease but he's just not a meeting person. He believes staying busy always on the run, batting serious things off me is working for him now. I'll slip in a step in there when I see it fits the conversation but 18 months so far doing well. Oh, his last year drinking vodka was absolute he'll. He would vomit the minute he took a sip, and would take 2 grs to keep a drink down then oroceed to drink all day and do ig over and over. Then they began treating him in rehab and it did slow down for a few months but came back. This week was good (knock on wood) strict low fat diet and about 10 different belly pills. There scheduling another upper endoscopy end of November to see where we are at. But thanks for the concern. Relapse never leaves the back of my head.
