There IS help that is available for alcoholics, and I don't mean only Alchoholics Anonymous, although that CAN help. 20 years ago I checked myself into Roosevelt Hospital in NYC for depression and alcoholism. I spent 3 weeks there, working hard with the other in-patients and with therapists, receiving medication, and taking part in the de-tox patients group sessions. I will always be grateful for the help I received at Roosevelt. That started my recovery process and I have been fairly sober for the past 20 years, "falling off the wagon" for a short period of time, starting with wedding festivities, but otherwise OK, and now completely sober for 2 years. I am determined never to go back to booze. I have also been in continuous therapy for these past 20 years and am on medication for depression and anxiety. It works for me. I am lucky to have good medical coverage. Liza should get such help.
Sorry if I went on a "Gee, look at me" rant, but that first poster got me started.
