Jeez, I got smacked and beaten up so many times as a drunk and disorderly and had one or two bar stools broken over my head. I've been thrown down flights of stairs. I've taken falls without spilling a drop. I must have a hard head because I don't recall being carted off to hospital or lasting more than a week afterwards without a drink. In 2007 I had a major operation to remove a massive acoustic neuroma pressing against my right temporal lobe. Six weeks sober and then back with a vengeance. Guess a spiritual solution was the kick in the head that worked for me in the end
I'd be interested to hear if it lasts in this woman's case. Just quietly it sounds like a blessing. I've heard of people suffering knocks to the head and waking up speaking a different language or with another accent but never giving up the booze.
