Posting on a throwaway because I like lurking but this topic hits close to home. Recently I decided to stop drinking in solidarity with a family member who has been struggling with alcohol dependency along with mental health issues. Alcohol withdrawal is particularly brutal due to tremors which can result in death alongside a plethora of other issue. It's been a very difficult time because he has refused to seek help and has lashed out against us. I worry that he is going to end up isolating himself and end up on the streets. If you or a family member has difficulty with drugs or alcohol remember that there are many ways to get help and there is more to life than the bottom of the bottle.
