On a roll
Well my A has about 8 and a half months sober and really active in the program. The last hospital stay convinced her that if she didn't stop drinking she would die. At one point she had a 7% chance to survive, pancreatitis. Anyway I thought good news would be welcome.

Thanks everyone. Without going into all the details here is the last 5 years:
* December 2002, Called hospital telling her nurse friends she was taking Tylenol with codeine and drinking tequila for pain.
* Nurses called the cops and they took her to the hospital.
* Entered nurse program early 2003.
* Did a two week out patient program.
* Relapsed Nov 2003
* Did a one month in patient program.
* Relapsed Feb 2004
* Did a 3 1/2 month program.
* Made it one year 9 months sober.
* Falsified 12-step reports.
* Administered Narcotics in violation of monitoring agreement.
* Fired from nursing job Dec 2005 and kicked out of nursing program.
* Started drinking.
* Jan 2006 was totally out on ventilator, coma for 10 days, not confirmed but probably alcohol.
* Started drinking again.
* July 2007, was totally out on ventilator, coma for 13 days, Alcohol Hepatitis, and Pancreatitis edema, had a 7 % chance of surviving., just over a one month stay in hospital.
* Now not drinking but not going to AA.
* November 10, 2007 finally went to AA.
* To date not working but doing well in AA, is working at getting Registered Nurse back, going into coding.
Now can't tell you the total cost but we had 70K in the bank and none now. But the good part is she is still alive and finally got it.
