Re: Being an alcoholic sucks
My mother, who died when I was a child, and my late husband were both alcoholics. 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.

Give it over to God would be my advice, only He can move mountains. Praying for you all.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80074546


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.

Fuck I’m grateful that I am an alcoholic only because of the recovery I have gone through, how many amazing things I learned about, like being a decent human being. 12 step program is a good place to hang out at for a couple years , might be surprised lol

Drank chronically for 30 years and now be sober 15 years. If I can do it anyone can

Re: Being an alcoholic sucks
Make an appointment with a Doctor who specializes in addiction. 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.

Re: Being an alcoholic sucks
Once you start it is so hard to stop and it’s pretty late to admit you made a mistake. 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.
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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78827207


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.

You need to Man the fuck up.

Take back control of your life.

If you want to change bad enough, you will change.

First step is admitting you have a problem.

You are at that point.

Re: Being an alcoholic sucks
addictions can be redirected into healthy pursuits and the addict usually excels, like working out or bettering oneself through education.

directed energy

cut out the thing that's making you run to the thing that's ruining your life and replace it with something that's actually taking you somewhere.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36224241


this

i quit drinking in jan 18

was puking blood....couldnt get a hard on anymore..,couldnt make it to noon without a drink or it would feel like i was coming down with the flu

Re: Being an alcoholic sucks
It really sucks, I'm a complete alcoholic as well. Not enough booze to satisfy my spirt. It's true though AA is a road map to recovery. I've been attending now for nearly 2 months. It's really easy with online AA groups. I never talk but listen to everyone else and it's just the dose of reality you need to get you through the weekend, well for me anyway. Hang in there OP it's the road less traveled and has enormous rewards in it. Your health for one, your bank account and your trust back from ones that have long given up on you. I think you have it in you to do what you have too, but only you can take that journey, and no one can take that away from you. Best wishes my friend, it's a real fight and with out you, it can be lost//

I would strongly “suggest” that you attend meetings in person as much as possible. We alcoholics need real human interaction. The disease wants to isolate us,then kill us. Sitting at home doing AA online is way to easy, better than nothing, but nit a good program for recovery.

Re: Being an alcoholic sucks
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.hf

You can get in control. 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.
