[QUOTE="Shar67, post: 1244310"] [USER=328322]@Kirktown[/USER] Yes people do tend to not admit to how much they drink, and even if you haven't had a drink for 24 hours your body and blood will still show signs of consumption which doctors will be looking at. I agree that the help offered is not great especially when you have been in a life threatening situation. There will always be some people who don't want to stop and others who try very hard without a lot of support. I know with my nephew, he always slipped back into old habits. Part of his problem was he had denial as he was a functioning alcoholic, had a full time job thought he was just being young. One day he asked if he could walk the dogs with me, he walked about 100 yards and collapsed, he ended up in hospital, whilst in there Amy Winehouse died, he was the same age as her. It was the wake up call he needed, he had to wait a couple of months to get into a residentail programme, half way through treatment he thought he was 'cured' he wanted to leave programme, the only way to have him stay was to have him sectioned for 28days, his mum said no, but his grandad signed the papers. When he finished programme he then had to go to outpatients and AA, it has been hard but worth it for him. The flip side is how many people fall through the cracks of waiting for a programme and the number of spaces available. [/QUOTE]
