Thanks for the link Icehouse, but I've read through that thread twice already

Actually you are one of the people here who has inspired me to get on the right track. (You & Wide-O are inspirations when it comes to turning around your life from the grips of alcohol) I'm not 100% sure my PN is alcohol related, but of all the tests run as of now it is the most likely cause in my opinion. When I meet with the neurologist I may be able to explore some other possibilities, but as of now I'm treating it as alcohol related PN in how I treat my recovery. Even if it's caused by something else, I need to stop drinking before the rest of my body begins failing.

I know I have a long road ahead of me. Some days have been brutal so far, and I'm sure I have many more to come. All I can do now is give my body the environment it needs to recover and hope for the best.
