[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry for you and your children's loss.

You don’t mention the usual crashed cars, lost jobs, lost friends, blackout apologies and mortifying moments that most of us think of when it comes to alcoholism. I think of how much someone would have to drink to wreck ther internal organs and I can’t put it together with what you’re telling us.  
Was he otherwise fully functioning? [/quote]

OP here- completely fully functioning. He had the same job for 15 years and was very well respected. We’ve taken a weeklong vacations with no issues whatsoever. No car crashes or DUIs. No blackouts. Occasional episodes but just at home and mostly picking fights and being petty or argumentative. No yelling or physical violence of any kind. [/quote]

Wow my husbands alcoholism is just as the pp described, lost job/friends etc ..plus raging fights. Hidden vodka bottles everywhere, him passed out half the time.
He has suddenly stopped for the last 2 months after two decades of the above (it escalates.. he had a great job and only left it 1 year ago).

None of the treatment centers worked but now he suddenly stopped out of the blue. He seems okay just a bit weak. Im encouraging him to get his strength back, proper nutrition etc.
When he drank he barely ate anything.[/quote]
