Is this a New Jim - at last?

Jim is down to one can a day. He also has some prescribed small doses of diazepam.

When the letter came for the abdominal ultrasound I could see he was very worried.

So he announced that his only chance was to stop drinking.

Soon he will have his paracentesis - that will bring great relief. I just hope that it can be done before we go to Scotland on 10th September.

Still - little steps - or is it finally big steps?

He was very apologetic about his binge the other night and said he couldn't put himself, me and the children through any more distress.

His drink of choice is orange juice and soda water. He's even checking his blood sugars daily now.

I don't want to raise my hopes too high but surely this is a vast improvement..............if it lasts.

BTW does anyone know the correct dose of thiamine for him? And should he be on strong vitamin B?

Thanks for all your support, everyone.
