I'm very indecisive as far as my opinion goes.. but, I agree with you, actually.

What made me wonder about it is that,
My aunt lost her husband 10 years ago, was a major alcoholic for all of those years..kind of lost herself. Lost her mother about 5 years ago.
However, she had a change of heart. She stopped drinking and devoted her life to her God and started getting more in touch with her spiritual side.
Has not picked up a drink since.
Then, she started having episodes.. she started hearing people talk to her, she would call my mother telling her that 'they' were in her basement and started freaking out. She would do this quite often and needed reassurance from my mother that no one was there. Was diagnosed with schizophrenia & paranoia.
So.. it could be mental, however, its the fact that she got in touch with her spiritual side to drop drinking is what mindboggled me and made me think twice about it. So, I'm not sure.
