I would most definitely think that could prolong the MLC....you see it keeps them from facing reality...it dulls the senses....stunts the emotional growth that is needed to recover....so yeah, if a "normal" MLC can be 3-5 years I don't see why one affected with alcohol couldn't last much longer... I can say that certain areas improved when my H quit drinking....later he found out he had diabetes which I also think hampered his ability to heal emotionally...as best I can tell his MLC has been 5 years so far....while he is back home he is still not back to normal yet but things are improving.. I wish you the best!
