[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 713515, member: 1963"] Also, depending on how much your wife drinks, it may be unsafe for her to quit on her own. Please insist that she be evaluated by a doctor skilled in dealing with addictions. Alcohol withdrawal is one of the two drug withdrawals that can KILL a person. For that reason, alcohol withdrawal needs be done in-patient and needs to be medically supervised. Usually it requires the use of medication to prevent seizures, and psychological effects of withdrawal. I know it sounds strange, but quitting cold turkey may hurt her unless she is under medical supervision. Alcoholism is a bear. [/QUOTE]
