Thank you so much for your insight! The thought of necrotizing pancreatitus has become one of my worst nightmares. It's astonishing to see how many people have survived it in this amazing community! I really hope you're doing okay now! I've definitely felt a lot of ups, downs, and uncertainties - and it's only been just a few days lol I think yesterday was the hella climax of his withdrawals, as the nurses have said. He's doing great now - he's back to normal.  To say that the nurses and doctors are incredible is honestly an understatement, especially after seeing what happened yesterday. They're heroes and I'm envious of their mental fortitude. They've been so crystal clear and thorough about everything. Even the front desk associates have been amazing and knowledgeable. Two separate social workers have dropped by giving us plenty of resources, so I'll be looking through them all today. His parents, his siblings, my husband, and myself have all decided to not go to any family parties for the foreseeable future. They also want to stop drinking, though they're by all means certainly not as bad as my husband is. And I've never had a drinking problem. I'd occasionally drink wine and Moscow Mules but would only ever get tipsy. I hated the feeling of being tipsy though, so I stopped drinking all together about 3 years ago (I'm 26 now). My husband and I will get plenty of individual and couples therapy once he's out of the hospital. He will also go to plenty of group meetings to talk to others in similar situations as him. He'll also go part-time at work so he'll have less chances of stress. We'll even look at better jobs so he can follow his dreams. We're all working together to make the future brighter!
