Daughters of the Shadow Men

I did not think Doc could drink that small amount of alcohol in a day without going into severe delirium tremens.  He indicated he had been in delirium tremens the last couple of days but was too scared over the end result of a week long bigger than usual drinking binge not to risk it.  Doc would do anything to keep from consulting a doctor, so he just weathered the withdrawal. I did not allow myself to entertain a whole lot of hope because I have no idea whether he can continue to cut back indefinitely.  But it seemed good to me to have him that sober even though he is not too well.  He could not for example act in a video.  He is just a little bit this side of being very sick.  But he did say he finally got some sleep after several sleepless nights  It is a change all right. 

Subdued Doc, not jazzed

  Bless his heart, I give him alot of credit for trying and doing this on his own.  Sending good thoughts for success.

  Good for Doc for trying.  Lots of good rest and some Energy Water if he can handle it.  That Aloe Vera they sell to drink will help him be perkier too.  I am amazed at his strength to go through it alone.  It shows he really wants to and somewhere on the inside, he knows he needs to.
  
  We're rooting for you, Doc!
