fluidistic said:My father is a huge alcoholic since his 30's. Now he cannot stand 1 day without alcohol. However when I was younger and I would visit him, I think he would not drink any alcoholic beverage for 2 months; this happened for several years in a row. After those 2 months periods I doubt he remained sober though.
But with some will, I think it would have been possible for him to stop entirely alcohol since he could make it for 2 monthsSo I'm sure there are people who stopped alcohol for X reason..
By the way my father is also a very heavy smoker since he's like 14 years old. On the top of that he developped Barrett's esophagus like in 2004 and won't stop either alcohol or cigarrettes. I don't think there's anything that would stop him.
