So sorry to hear about your STBXAH's health problems. I'm praying that it will be the wake-up call that he needs to find a path to recovery and that it won't hold up your divorce hearing for long.

To answer your question, Jaxs, in alcoholics seizures are sometimes caused by alcohol withdrawal. In the later stages of their disease, alcoholics can suffer withdrawal symptoms such as seizures and DTs if they abstain from drinking for even a few hours. Alcoholic seizures are scary to witness and they can lead to strokes and permanent brain damage, as was the case with my boyfriend. Sending prayers up for your brother, too.

Sorry for the hijack, NEG.
