    This was incredibly helpful to me, incredibly. My son is 37 and has cirrhosis of the liver, total liver failure and has been in the hospital 16 times since 2016 due to alcoholism. He has encephalopathy (brain damage) and like Paul’s Mother I received calls from my son over and over throughout the night, threatening suicide for years. Truly heart breaking and extremely stressful to say the least. The stress has been unbearable. He has been in Hospice twice and has come out of two comas. He is still drinking and still hallucinating, still miserable but still alive. Doctors have no idea how.
    Thank you to Paul’s mother and thank you Paul! God bless you both. Again, the video has been helpful to my soul. You have shared MY story indeed.

    Yep. The more comfortable a drunk is the more he/she will get/stay that way. 😢
