Hi i just wanted some advice really the thing is my mum is a alcholic not your sterotypical alcholic but she has a problem and cant go a day without drink she has recently started a new job in which she is unable to drink during the day where as she used to drink all day long in her other job as drink was available, so i know she has cut down a lot but she recently had a well women medical and the results have just comw bcak saying that there is some abnormality with her liver caused by her high intake of alcohol it has stated that it can be reversable if she cuts her intake down to 14 units per week instead of her usual 30 units (what she told them she drinks but its a lot higher) and the thing is i'm really worried cause today she has been of work and she has had a pint of larger a galss of red wine and about 5 vodka and redbulls and this is her cutting down if i say anything to her she gets offensive and i dont know how to deal with this i love her and am really worried about her cause i dont want to have to visit her on her death bed because she has cyrosis ir some horrible disease caused by alchol. My dad has soken to hr and told her she must cut down but he is in a hard situation too as she will go back to hiding it like she did before and my dad is of the opinion that if he knows what she is drinking its easier to control than if shes hiding it. Dont get me worng she is a good mum and can fuction proapaly people wouldnt even know she had a problem she not like a alcholic like u see on tv but shes my mum and its hard to admit that she has a problem its really worrying me and making me feel depresses
