[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 645559, member: 59"] I'm really sorry.My dad is 95 and an alcoholic. He doesn't drink now except an occassional beer but at his age he has a hard time remembering what day it is. Anywway over the years he was in and out of the hospital a number of times. It all started the same way...we was friendly even jovial with the nurses. By about 4-5 days in he started getting nervous, crabby, anxious. After that he was just downright belligerent and they either discharged him or he signed himself out. We all knew it was because he was going through withdrawal. I suspect your son is feeling a little of that. I keep remembering what they told us in rehab, that drug addicts are not reasonable just because they are sober a few weeks, that they still think and act like an addict. I hope someone from the hospital does spell it out for him and intervenes to get him help. [/QUOTE]
