I have to be honest. I didn't even read the replies when I posted my last post. I guess I'm just so angry I'm seeing Red. Frredom, I would be interested in what level of Appeal that you won? I believe there comes a time though when a person needs to quit the process of fighting Disability and move on. The emotional energy towards fighting it, is just not worth it. I rarely trust people but believe this lawyer that this case is just too complex and hard to win. This lawyer is one of the most recommended in the Midwest. He is not the "famous" disability lawyers on television either. Alcoholism may very well be a disease but overall society doesn't believe it. This has just been my very painful experience. And I trust my own personal experience more than treatment, meetings ect......
