The brain seems to resemble the liver in its enormous capacity to heal itself if given a chance. Drinking causes physical changes in the brain where it attempts to "adapt" to alcohol. When there is no alcohol it often makes enormous progress "adapting back" to normalcy. It just has to be given a chance, by not drinking.
