[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 383207, member: 59"] I just wrote a long response and lost it...grrrr. Both husband and I thought 24 beers wasn't possible either but she assured us that last week she was drinking that much. They told us her tolerance was very high and that it took five days in detox to get it all out of her system. She may have been projectile vomitting, she was out everyday until 4am. I do know the last night she was in a blackout and had no idea where she was or what she was doing, urinating on the carpeting. I also saw her drink 4 beers at easy child's grad party at our house in about an hour without flinching or showing any signs of impairment. I don't know why she would lie about it, I tend to believe her confessions since this is the first time she has ever admitted to her behavior. So whether it was 24 or 18 it was quite a lot and she kept it hidden for a long time. She also admitted that she got fired from her job two years ago for going in high. Klmno I am hoping that this foundation is what will help during her times of relapse, which I am expecting. Everytime she makes a friend on facebook I hold my breath, everytime she walks out the door I hold my breath. Everytime she tells us something I check to see whether it's something we can believe. But she did go to an AA meeting every day this week and found a young people's meeting that she went to tonight. She loved it and said it was so nice to meet other young people who are living sober and having fun. She has to have her papaer signed every meeting so I know she went, and they can't forge the signature because each meeting has their own stamp. They told her about another young people's meeting tomorrow and she is going and thinks she wants to make one of those her home meeting. They have social activities too and invited her to a halloween party/ bonfire/meeting. This is the first time in years that she has clear eyes and seems really happy and excited about life. We actually talk now and she sits with the family instead of locked up in her room. I hope she isn't full of baloney because I like this new person. Will it last, I don't know. But I do believe that what we have gained in the past two months no one could ever have told me would happen. I don't even talk to any of my family about this because if you haven't goen through the program you have no idea what it's like and they would have no appreciation ofr the journey we traveled.
