Just had a massive reality check about too much booze Sat minding my own business fixing the FiL’s printer and Mrs Manc’s mate casually walked into our house. Bear in mind she’s been investigated at work after allegations that she stank of booze in the morning, has crashed her car three times into her gatepost leaving for work Has she drunk the brake fluid? 😊 Quote

If she's a unit you/she probably won't even notice the ascites she probably has. Jaundice of the eyes coupled with a bottle of spirits a day habit means it's days or weeks to the end - no exaggeration. And you don't just curl up for a nap with liver failure either - it's a fucking horrendous way to go. Try all you can to get her to go if for nothing else then you and your mrs' own conscience(s). https://www.dearalbert.co.uk/articles/alcohol-jaundice/ I suspect she can't knock it on the head alone and probably shouldn't either. They'll probably take one look at her and admit her. Edited June 8, 2020 by Youri McAnespie Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Don't wish to alarm you btw - she could 'be reet' with help, but without help... Quote
MancWanderer Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 We tried last night but she kept saying there’s nowt wrong with her. Mrs Manc is on the phone to her now trying to get her to phone her GP. Failing that she’s driving round there to phone them herself. Realise it’s prob too late as once you get jaundice you’re liver is probably a goner Quote

Realise it’s prob too late as once you get jaundice you’re liver is probably a goner My nephew (brother) died at the beginning of the year from exactly this. You can be saved. But time is not on her side. My nephew was found dead after multiple organ failure and was yellow in the preceeding few weeks. The doctors said that intervention would have saved his life (we had sent him to multiple rehab programmes and spent a fortune on trying). She needs other people to do this, she has no chance without people getting involved and will die. I hate to be so blunt but hoestly, I'm in tears typing this because we could and should have saved Dan. Get her to hospital today.. Now. Don't wait. He was 42. Quote
MancWanderer Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Thankfully she had a video consultation with her GP this morning which resulted in Mrs M driving her to Tameside A&E Problem is she lives in her own surrounded by loons. Both the neighbour and the dog walker said she looked OK when she asked them. And she stank of booze on the way to the hospital Quote

Not easy, and they’ll start by weaning her off. She won’t like it and will fight tooth and nail for a drink. Worth every hard, difficult yard if you can pull it off. Wish we had. Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 You've done the right thing, without your intervention she'd have done nothing herself and would've 100% been a goner, and sooner rather than later... Hopefully she'll get the help to start getting better physically straight away. The 'mentally right' bit is often harder to achieve. There's fuck all one can do unless the addict wants to get better themselves, absolutely fuck all (take heed, Spider - though you've probably been told this rather trite sounding sentiment innumerable times already). All the best. Quote
MancWanderer Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Cheers youri. Yeah she’s massively in denial seeking out folk who’ll tell her that she looks just fine. The dog walker told her that she looked a bit tanned ffs Anyway they took one look at her in A&E and admitted her so she’s in for the duration Seriously made me reassess my alcohol consumption which has been way too high. Normally I have the thought of getting in the car in the morning as a deterrent but that’s obviously not happening at the moment Quote

Normally I have the thought of getting in the car in the morning as a deterrent but that’s obviously not happening at the moment Dan was drinking 2 bottles of vodka a day. It had long since ceased to be something he did for pleasure, it’s a physical addiction like most others. It is not something you can shrug off with a bit of willpower once it gets to this point. You need medication, constant watching and time, lots of time. Us common or garden pisspots are barely passed the foothills of alcoholism by comparison, though having a few days off here and there can’t do any harm. All the best Manc Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 @MancWanderer You've more than done your bit now - she's in the right place both for treatment and care and for folk who won't be telling her 'nah, it's alreet, you crack on'... Hopefully she'll start the slow process of getting well now - and not do owt daft like checking herself out, maybe now she knows the gravity of the situation she won't... I'm glad she's in there anyway. Can kick back with a beer or six now... ('joke') Quote
MancWanderer Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Don’t think I’ve had a day off since Lockdown apart although some days are just one glass of wine or a beer. No massive blowouts As more of the story emerges the worse it gets and whereas I just viewed her as a massive pisspot, she’s sounding more like spider’s nephew. Found out today that she was stood with the crowd outside the crem for my MiL’s funeral listening to the loudspeaker when she suddenly disappeared and sat in her car guzzling vodka and coke from a coke bottle. She’s also gone to the hospital with no spare clothes, no phone charger, nowt. She’ll check herself out no doubt as it’s Mrs Manc’s 50th tomorrow so she’ll try turning up here I reckon Balls to it. Enough doom and gloom. Time to road test this box of NZ Sauvignon Blanc from Tesco that was recommended to me Quote

All the best Manc I'm sorry to hear about your nephew, Spider... You nor anyone else is to blame, not least Dan himself. It's fucking war of atrition in which battles are lost - and that's no negative reflection on those who fought the battle. It's simply a c*nt - the trickiest, sneakiest, filthiest and most durable opponent around. R.I.P. Quote
