you met her when she was "stone cold sober" for a very short period of time, 9 days. some might argue that she was not, taking the below 4 meds. i would wonder why she thought she could start being involved with a dating when she has so much on her plate?
"We met back in January. At that time, I knew she had just been released from a hospital for depression and alcoholism. The doctors put her on Librium, Klonopin, Restoril, and Prozac. She was hospitalized for 9 days and released".
i have been called a "high bottom drunk" i never had a job loss, financial problem, dui and i have maintained a high level career. but i'm still an alcoholic and I still had withdrawal and still have to really want to be sober.
best of luck in you getting some FTF support. i think you are going to really need it.
