Re: re/HEP-C and alcoholism

[Guest guest]

I know he will not get the viral variety of HepC, but his alcohol consumption can cause his liver to have alcoholic hepatitis and he certainly can have cirrhosis. He knows what happens to the body and brain, but does not worry enough to change his habits.

It's only contracted via blood, either transfusion(before '92 or so), IV drug use (sharing needles with an infectedperson) or tatoos with needles that were used on someone infected.---

Thanks, Tim. Dan uses other substances as well. He's been an addict of one thing or another since age 14, so I've done my agonizing and my rescuing and my enabling. It's all done now and i guess tough love is in place at long last. I will never stop loving him, just not going to carry his burden around with me any more.

Sharon, Good decision hon. I have been right there with you (my own problems with my son) Yes, we will never stop loving them. And if they come to the decision that they want to straighten out we will be there for them. But it is their decision in their time. Love JanetSharon Crosby <blubirdxoxo@...> wrote: Thanks, Tim.

Thank you Janet for understanding. If you have such a son in your heart, then you know the agonizing process that brings a mother to this point.

Thank, Jackie. Most of the time, Dan lives in the back of my memory. Occasionally, when the topic turns to addiction, he pops right out and dominates my thoughts. It's hard to follow through with tough love, hard for both. He thinks I don't care. I suffer from not trying to commiserate with his problems. BUT this is the best way for both of us. And the ONLY way for me to survive the pain.
