He was a labor lawyer, very involved with the world but everything is narrowing. He just entered what I hope will be a positive program called Stepping Stones and I hope he deals with the issue there.
He was always a very moderate wine drinker but now will consume a bottle through the night so I am limiting access and feel horrible. He actually could go across the street and buy his own wine but so far hasn't. He swears he hasn't drunk the bottles I find around the house, brought by friends. He manages to generally mask his inabilities for a while in social situations but then starts to ask the same questions...and knows he is doing it but can't stop as he wants to communicate. Heartbreaking. He is wearing the Exelon Patch and is depressed, but is being treated for it and seizures from Melanoma that went to his brain (surgery successful).
Where do I find the discussion group?
