It's a very personal subject to me. I wish I knew the answers to cure addiction. It's a very painful world we live in and it's not getting better. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80074546 Give it over to God would be my advice, only He can move mountains. Praying for you all. it's genetic. Most people addictions are basically some sort of auto medication of unbalances. Usually alcoholic have some gaba receptor problems...they need to chill or they have obsessive thinking. Gaba gives a shit about anything...the opposite of dopamine. |

I have no idea what level you have progressed to. It is best to have an assessment done. In the mean time try a good B complex Alcohol depletes necessary B2. Kratom works for many also. Keep trying ! You will get there. What works for some does not work for another. This much I am sure of an alcoholic that eats and stays well nourished lives far longer than one who does not maintain a healthy diet. If you are unable to cut down your drinking by yourself please do seek a Doctor. |

I don’t even enjoy drinking as much as I thought I would before relapsing. It’s all about staying afloat and avoiding the shakes, and most of the time I am trying to balance being too drunk and not drunk enough. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78827207 But worst of all is being an alcoholic means you never get to enjoy booze as a painless, regular joy. The guilt, the shame is always there. Go to PABotanicals.com, order Ultra Maeng Da Kratom, mix a couple teaspoons with water and a little juice in a 12 0z water bottle. You won't want to drink anymore, it has a unique effect. That's a good vendor? There re so many selling crap you can;t find good shit anymore. I have lost family members to alcohol. bad shit. Try the kratom friend |

Let Freedom Ring 365 User ID: 77952400 United States 02/26/2021 06:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don’t know what the answer is, I’ve seen many friends die from alcohol abuse. Half my family are alcoholics. It isn’t even fun for them, just about staying alive, like you said. Only it kills you to stay alive. The only people I’ve ever seen make it out are the ones who go through chemically assisted withdraw with things like Ativan, in a hospital setting. Otherwise the body won’t allow it. It’s basically like being possessed by a demon or “spirit.” Just be warned, when the organs start to fail it gets very ugly and painful. Quoting: Babel Starry Night I had a close work colleague die. She had been fired from her job and it was all down hill from there. It was a very painful death while organs shut down. Praying you can fight the relapse and get sober again. You are the creator of your own master plan... Make it a good one. Wake the fuk up and be ready... This is absolutely no time to be stupid! “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” - Nikola Tesla |

You can drink so good, you can not drink so good as well. . . Ive was putting down a litr of vodka every night for maybe 5 years. That was 5 years ago now. I can thoroughly enjoy 4 tall boys and call it a night now. No Im nowhere near wasted as before...so do I feel good? Yes. Because I got back around to being able to enjoy a few beers and enjoy the super buzz, not a black out. Ive been to AA. Its not alright, but I beleive fully you bave the power to obtain what you want. PP |
