Yes, welcome! I see now that you are a new member. I too joined SR shortly after my AH had a seizure.

A little more of the story: Following the seizure, I called 911, he took an ambulance to the hospital and then had serious withdrawal in the hospital: paranoia, delusions, hearing things, vomiting, dizzy, horrible headache, etc. The Dr.s did not consider alcoholism because he lied and told them that he hadn't been drinking. He was still hiding it from me at this point. Then, finally, his primary Doc diagnosed it as alcoholism and I found vodka stashed in water and gatorade bottles in his car, garage, and basement.

The seizure and withdrawal did not stop him from drinking, however. Soon after he left the hospital he began drinking again. We did 2 interventions and I finally filed for divorce.

So glad you found SR, it has been so helpful for me. Sending you strength,
~ B
