physorg.com — But patients should stop drinking as soon as possible. Findings published today in the online edition of the journal Brain, used sophisticated scanning technology and computer software to measure how brain volume, form and function changed over six to seven weeks of abstinence from alcohol in 15 alcohol dependent patients (ten men, five women).

I'm glad you did better... but notice the age difference... people learn as they grow older.i don't know anything about the ASVAB test, but it sounds to me like you scored higher simply because you grew older and wiser, not because you stopped drinking...If you had taken it in '96 and got a 68 before you stopped... then again a few years later, like in 2000 and got a 93, then maybe I would see some significant difference.

Do medications prescribed to treat anxiety have similar damaging effects on the brain like alcohol?

For some reason I read this as, "GROINS can recover from alcoholic damage."

@pixelmixer, All good points thanks. I am older, and a little wiser. Some folks I hung with back then are still doing the same thing, drinkin and druggin. I don't see them as getting wiser. Shame though. I guess this post will be dugg down as well.

"patients often become discouraged from the physical and cognitive difficulties of achieving and maintaining sobriety." Eyyyyyep.
