[quote=Anonymous]She is 91 and still lives in her house. She has a kidney condition, the nephrologist was the one who said no alcohol. It's also a fall risk factor, but the kidney issue is the big and new factor. Relatives, big drinkers themselves, think that doing nothing but finding assisted living is the solution. They talk about concern a lot but not to the person in question. I know it is unlikely that she will change but want to at least give it one try re: resources, medical help, whatever might make it easier. She has a lot of anxiety, drinking actually makes it worse, but in her mind it is the crutch. [/quote]
