Iām 21. Have about a third litre of vodka a day, unless Iām goingout and Iāll have at least 12 drinks on top of that. Iāve been to detox for a week and failed. I didnāt know what I wanted. Now Iām possibly going to rehab (my choice). I want to live a life without alcohol for breakfast, lunch and dinner. People donāt take me serious when I say āI have an alcohol problemā when Iām 21. They say ādonāt we all. Weāve all been there when weāve had too muchā I tried coming off it on my own once and was the worst experience of my life. Genuinely thought it was how I was going to die. Ur body is screaming at u. Good luck to u all Iām proud of u!
I'm a paramedic working in the hospital setting now, and didn't learn much about this particular topic in training. It's come up about use of the CIWA-AR and I just didn't really understand it, so I've been studying today. This helps me understand the reasons why the score works and how benzo's help treat the symptoms.
I will never allow that "bottle" neuss around my neck again. Been two weeks sober and I love my old life again. No more hiding empty bottles from my spouse, no more chugging down vodka, because I had limited time to hide it from someone, no more secret trips to the liquor store, adding it to my Gatorade at lunchtime, or to my coffee sometimes in the morning, and my list can go on and on….. no more memory tricks the next day either!! Waking up in the morning and feeling like you were run over by a truck. This is not only mentally but physiologically great being sober all the time. I would never return to those dark days. They weren't dark at first, until I "crossed" that line.. Any alcoholic knows when the line is crossed. Takes time to realize it though.. When you start becoming "pre occupied" with it. it's time to make that change. I went to a baseball game last year, and made sure I took a bunch of mini nips with me, so I could drink them in the bathroom. I stuffed them in my socks, so my friend wouldn't see them. I had to get my buzz on, no matter what it took. I was really, really bad…. Well, enough of me now.. Best of luck to anyone who is struggling with this. Wasn't a struggle at first, but it crept up on me.. We CAN do this, quitting was the best decision ever!!! A sober life, "Is life"… š
I have have just made the decision to quit alcohol. I have been drinking every night after work for years I know this isn't normal today I have made the choice. Last night I reheated the takeaway pizza whilst my family was asleep. And I crashed out with the oven still on. Sub conscious I could smell burning in my sleep. But stayed in a drunken coma only to wake up and realise I nearly burnt the house down. My hands are up and I need help. I have been I recovery for 5 years due to a gambling addiction and now the drink has taken over. I want a normal life I have to beat these deamons.
I'm nearly 19 years sober and clean. I guarantee it will only get better, especially if you eat healthy and get into some physical fitness that you enjoy. It's a very lonely road from a socializing standpoint, but abstinence is the only road for an alcoholic. Remember, no day is wasted if it's a sober day. No life is wasted if it's a sober life.
I've been completely sober for long run , all good ! All the best . Thx American MD doctor . Thx for lecture ! Look how my physic became . Never be others financial plan , I financial plan others through my skillset ! Stay consistently never let any poisons get into my royal body .
I have a problem, I'm hungover again. Sometimes when I am I just like to vent. I drink once every week, No exception. I started to cope with nerves and anxiety when going to classes. Now it's a routine a must for me. I can't go out downtown to do an errand without drinking while walking, then I come back and go for the rest of the day. Sometimes I just pass out on bed without noticing. Now I also got the practice of smoking weed when I get drunk. I get anxious, I want to stop but I can't. The most I've been sober is a week.
I drink too much. I binge drink 6-8 bottles of stella a day. It's so difficult for me to stop drinking, I always tell myself it's going to be last one, lord forgive me for my sins, even when I was possessed by jinns.
I could stop drinking but at times I Feen for it . Once I drink one I want to keep going I canāt settle for 3 and just stop I want to keep drinking until I feel myself drunk , but I always regret the next day because I feel disgusting that I could drink everyday doing the same thing . I know I feel better when I donāt drink but sometimes there are fazes that I want to drink every day ? Why idk ? š
If i could quit drinking my life would be sooooooo much beter…ive been trying on my own. And i always mess up….i wish i could quit this….i hide my drinking from my family…im so afraid toget help cause it will change how every one thinks of me plus i dont have money to do this…my family needs me to keep worki ng ….huh
My friend drinks with dinner. Sometimes I have one as well. Usually sparkling water. Do not know what to do to help her. She knows it's a problem but when wr visit, it is once or twice daily. Do I ask her not to drink around me?
I am struggling so bad with my alcoholism. If I donāt drink, I get the shakes really really bad. I can barely function. I resigned from my job of 10 years because I have such a dependency. I am so lost and my husband does not understand it. Iāve tried reaching out to family members but they brush me off. I want help so badly. How did it get to this? Please help me God
Been in brain fog for almost a whole month after opioid detox. I used to get 156 on an IQ test. Yes, i work in government because of it. Yes i work in intelligence. Yes they knew i became an addict, it was part of my cover… no they didnt know that it continued for years after the assignment… now here i am on vacation detoxing… and my brain is fucked. I go back to work next week and i still cant even finish a task. This is getting frustrating. Thanks for the help tho. Alcoholism and opioid addiction does share similarities.
I have been fuckin seizing and have hallucinations visibly and audibly. Donāt fucking drinkš¤£š¤£

So I came here to understand the effects of my alcohol intake. I've been to a few rehabs and it hasn't worked…. any insights?
If i could quit drinking my life would be sooooooo much beter…ive been trying on my own. And i always mess up….i wish i could quit this….i hide my drinking from my family…im so afraid toget help cause it will change how every one thinks of me plus i dont have money to do this…my family needs me to keep worki ng ….huh
I have been sober forā¦. A few hours. Iāll carry on.
My friend drinks with dinner.
Sometimes I have one as well. Usually sparkling water.
Do not know what to do to help her.
She knows it's a problem but when wr visit, it is once or twice daily.
Do I ask her not to drink around me?
