A member of my family has a drinking problem. We are pretty sure that he is in denial about it. Walks around as if nothing is amiss. Doesn't notice the signs nor the symptoms. Completely oblivious.
We have considered a number of different intervention methods and techniques. However, there are very few rehab programs out there for his unique situation and circumstance. You see, he has another disorder- an eating disorder. Maybe the two problems interact and escalate one another. I am not an expert. But I do know that the mess it creates is getting out of hand.
Odd thing is, that this is not your normal alcohol related issue. It has to do with water. Yes, water.
By now you may have guessed that I am writing about our dog, Duke. As you are blog-informed about his appetite for birds, rocks, kleenex, wooden puzzle pieces, and dollhouse furniture etc., you need to know the full story- he is a VERY sloppy drinker.
He gets more water around his mouth and on the kitchen floor than he takes into his throat and swallows. What is up with that? He then walks around the kitchen, leaving a slippery trail of salvia and water. This drinking problem has got to stop!
It is all I can do to mop up the floor throughout the day with old beach towels! Ugh. Help!
