My father is 85 years old and is just coming off a four day binge of drinking huge amouts of gin.  He is shaking badly and feels very ill.  He has been an alcoholic for 40 years but goes on and off with the binge drinking, with no eating and no taking of his med.  He has several health problems.  COPE, EMPHYSEMA, AFIB JUST TO NAME A FEW.  CAN HE DO THIS ALONE OR SHOULD WE GET HIM TO A HOSPITAL.

I would immediately take him to the hospital, you can have serious DT's from alcohol withdrawals and it could be fatal, without proper medication. 

please dont hesitate........................

Alcoholics Anonymous Step Ten Inventories 2

Step Ten Inventories DonInLondon Don Oddy Living In the Solution October 4 2008 Don Oddy DonInLondon Recovery Resource Videos Alcoholics Anonymous Addiction is often described as being unable to stop taking a substance or unable to stop a form of behaviour which is harmful. My experience strength and hope is shared here on these videos. I would suggest anyone anywhere with addictive behaviour to find professional medical support and helpful forms of support. The type of support we choose is a personal choice. For me, a combination of professional medical support and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, helps me keep sober on a daily basis. Professional advice on medical matters is paramount in my opinion. I have found fellowship keeps me safe from relapse and has improved my outlook on living simply a day at a time. I do not speak as a professional or speak for anyone else but me. I have found my life improved emotionally, physically and spiritually by keeping safe and to suggestions from professionals and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. I do not represent Alcoholics Anonymous, I share how fellowship helps me keep safe one day at a time. music: "music for airports" Brian Eno: http://www.enoshop.co.uk/ my photo link: http://www.doninchelsea.myphotoalbum.com/ my other video: link http://www.doninlondon.myphotoalbum.com/ email me: doninlondon@gmail.com Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholic Alcoholism Addict Addiction DonInLondon Don Oddy Recovery Rehab
