In Response To: Re: alcohol induced dementia (Anon)

I just turned 27 tyears old. I have been drinking since I was about 15. In the past 2 or 3 years, I have noticed that I am so confused. I feel lost and forget so many different things. I mention things over and over again or ask questions moe than once. I did notice that one of the symtoms is doing that, but I do realize that I'm doing this. I don't mean to minimize it, but I'm hoping that my case is not serious. I recently found out about this type of dementia. Reading all the other responses, I feel, or at least hope, that I am not that bad... Yet. I don't want to get as bad as some of these horror stories have mentioned. I had a really good scare when I read about this dementia. Now I'm really worried. You would have thought that a scare like the one I got would have kept me from drinking again, but in order to deal with the fear and the scare that I received I went and drank them all away. I'm really frightened as to what my future has in store for me.
