Dirk, good luck and kudos and your bravery. I have never had alchohol problems but grew up with a very bad drunk of a mother who is (thankfully) been sober for about 3 or 4 years. She is so amazing when she is just her...You are so lucky to have a family still as well because I know that there was a time when I was fully prepared to cut my mother off from my life as if she were a corpse!! Scary heavy stuff, nothing but best wishes and love buddy, hang in there, I know it is super cliche but take one day, one hour, one minute, one second at a time!!
