Oh, he got sick as a direct result of 22 years of hard drinking. He does still have to take meds. though.
So... now he's glad he had a wake up call cause he's still glad to be alive.
Also about 12yrs. or so ago hubby got dx's with Major Depressive disorder& he is also dyslexic, so he was self medicating also. Now he takes Celexa &a lotta caffeine.
