My sister drank heavily for at least twelve years that I know of. She was detoxed recently and is now living with me. I was wondering what damage has been done to her brain.She is 13 days into her recovery. She prior to her drinking was a very intelligent person.She is a college grad (psychologist)I have been noticing absolutely no short term memory.Example would be I wrote directions to using my telephone.I taped them on my land phone.She forgot 3 min later they were there.Another example is the remote to the satellite dish.My other sister she lived with had the exact same system and remote.I went through 14 times the directions to using the remote and even taped the directions onto the remote.She forgot they were there.I was trying to teach her basic computer skills such as checking email.I wrote it in step by step form.I know for a fact she has used a computer before.She has no idea now how to do it.I honestly thought this was a passive/aggressive act until I observed her when she thought she was alone and she was totally lost trying to make a phone call. This is really scaring me.Will this ever go away? She would drink one gallon of wine and half of fifth of vodka per day.What other damage might have been done to her? Thanks in advance.
