Living with an alcoholic. This is the issue. The recommendation that I find online for maximum consumption is 3 oz daily but I don't think I can hold her to that. Like many things she finds *it annoying , and expresses that by mocking..*being told to drink less.
Mom is using a walker, a safety measure she also mocked and refused , sticking to an unsteady cane for years. There is no self reflection, no possibility of her thinking "ok, people told me for years to use a walker and I refused, but now I can walk better and for longer. Maybe this other advice I got is also good.
Anyway the important thing is me. How is living with a moody drunk going to affect me. Ok not moody. My working theory is actually that she gets the DT's and starts hallucinating . Yesterday she said the TV was 'upsidedown'. I am trying to keep her consumption of vodka to ...well if it could be 4 oz that would be scaling back.
Can I really do this. What happens when I go away for 10 days?
