YES...I have seen it with my own eyes
My xah use to have biceps, that I couldnt even reach my hand around the top of them
He is almost 7' and had a body to be desired. Pure muscle all the way around!
The past 2 years, his drinking progressed. He began to loose weight, then stopped.
He had bowel & stomach issues, like heart burn & acid reflex. Would throw up
at the slighest thing he ate.
Then his muscle tissue began to get smaller.
His arms became bone & flesh. The flab was under the arm.
His buttocks became flat.
He dropped 2 sizes in jeans. Even though the muscle tone was gone, he had
a belly like he was 8 month pregnant.
It was sad to see
Then the past year, he got alot weaker. He couldnt lift heavy stuff like he use to do.
He began to loose his appetite more and more, the drinking got worse. He was
sneaking it more. He switched to Vodka about this time, which I didnt know it then
Just last week, his neice told me that he doesnt eat much anymore, he is very weak
at times and has even became very slow at walking.
The drinking has gotten worse.
He takes a prescription for anti-acids, the stomach issue has been a long term
problem. Last year, he couldnt even keep water down him, because from his thoart
to his stomach, the lining was raw. He was hospitalized for this. His body became
completley dehydrated.
He was wearing 42" jeans, now wearing 36"....
So YES, I have seen this...It is not pretty and there is nothing you can do
It is their choice to drink their lives & bodies away...
It sucks I know!!
I use to call mine, MY SUPERMAN, but not anymore. The last time I saw
him in underwear..I thought of "CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS"
Sorry, to laugh, but I really did. I didnt tell him that, but I sure thought it!!!
