I was drinking myself to death for a couple of months after my month-old daughter died in her sleep. I stopped drinking cold and I've never felt better.
Cold Turkey has a higher success rate than AA.
And you don't have to listen to a buncha whiny losers
I'll drink to that!
Yeah, they lost all validity with me calling it a disease and not a choice.
Yeah that shit fucking irks me, "i am powerless to handle my addictions" fucking great marketing strategy for addiction centers to get people coming back, if they get them to literally pray that shit everyday...
You don't understand the changes that go on in the body. If you eat only pizza, your bacteria is going to be geared towards processing that food. Now if you drink all the time, you're going to develop pathogens that feed on alcohol or it's by products. If those pathogens are of the sort that can control the mind through "cravings", then it could easily be considered a disease.
The same exact thing happens with food based addictions.
edit: should also mention deficiency, drinking may provide missing nutrition in some amounts. I would abuse milk, if you can believe how dumb that is, but once I corrected my diet, I didn't even want milk anymore.
Infinitely more valid reason to need a drink than I ever had. We're just glad you're alive since the bottle is a choice that you can change you mind on and make a better decision later so you self medicated for a time and now realize you wound is scabbed over a bit, just enough to do something else to heal your soul. God Bless and if you slip it's OK, just realize that also is not a permanent choice and stop when you realize that also. I think we'll find your situation in the dictionary as the definition of the word Devastated.
If I ever gave you a shit reply when you were here drunk or not I apologize for your pain is much more than I could even tolerate and forgive me since I have just now forgiven you for any thoughts or responses I chose in ignorance of your situation.
All good man. Agree, I don't like the whole, I'm an alcoholic disease thing. Have a drinking problem. Starting naltrexone hopefully Thursday. Haven't drunk since Saturday, but I know I'll get cravings soon
cravings
Stock up on ice cream. It mimics the sugars alcohol breaks down into, helping you with the cravings.
I learned decades ago. Bought an 18 pack and drank one of the 4 still left a couple days ago. My brain actually a few years back did something amazing. I opened a beer for the first time in over a year and almost vomited from the smell and taste of an ice cold beer, so got one from the store down the street and same smell and taste.
I then waited around 3 years and it's OK though it was the best tasting stuff in my 20's. I think the most I've drank is 3 or 4 beers in a row in the past 10 years and I used to drink a 12 pack in 2 hrs as a warmup after work every day and non stop drinking on the weekends. So you live, learn, and beer music and other stuff becomes less important and I'm so glad since if not I'd kept drinking and been dead like 10 years ago when my liver would have likely told me to fuck myself.
Did she got the vaccines and was your wife/girlfriend depressed and/or mentally unstable?
No vaccines. And no, my wife is extremely stable.
months after my month-old daughter died in her sleep.
As the father of four. I cant imagine. Im sorry for your loss.
Honest question? Parents and child together or sperate when sleeping? No judgment, im honestly curious.
She was in the bed with my wife. She wasn't smothered.
I ask because My wife and I bed share with all are kids. I assumed, wrongfully. That you didnt bed share. Again sorry for your loss.
Glad you're alright mate
