Hi Big Guy and welcome to NeuroTalk. This place is full of supportive and caring people.
I'm not sure if the Traumatic Brain Injury forum would help, but it just might. Here is a link to the TBI forum.

And Hi Stacie's Mom. You might benefit as well from the TBI forum linked above. Also, we have an Alcoholism, Addiction and Recovery forum that you might find helpful. Here is the link to that.
