The withdrawals are not bad if you have Is the right medications to help you with throwing up diarrhea and the shakes.. The hardest part is the cravings after you become sober. Librium and konopin are very good medicine
I’m drunk again for the 1500th day in a row. Hoping to change soon. For now i will keep building knowledge on the subject of alcoholism
Tomorrow will be my 6th day sober after 3 years of drinking daily.
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’m only 21 and i used to drink at least 2 nights a week, sometimes i don’t drink in a whole week too. But when i do, i drink a lot ( always finished half a bottle on my own). But this had been an ongoing problem since 2020 and last night i woke up and i felt really cold, but i have sweats all over my body and my sheets and clothes were all drenched. I’ve never had any cravings when I’m on a break, like i still drink after all those years but doesn’t have any cravings. Does anyone have the same experience especially cold sweats at night? Also if i still don’t have craving am i still not considered to be an alcoholic?
Alcohol is not the answer.
why r u soo good??
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.
tvbh my grandma who is alife long her doc said if she quits she’d die and from that ngl made me hate Drinking and made me wanna be better than Her cause her guilt tripping me to drink with er i said no everytime.
Extremely unhelpful
My Mum just admitted herself to hospital a couple of days ago in an effort to detox from alcohol and hopefully begin the process of giving up drinking. this was really informative and many things make a lot more sense to me now, particularly about why she is being given Diazepam. My Mum believes that she needs to drink in order to combat her anxiety, whereas I’ve always suspected that it was the alcohol causing the anxiety.
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 have been sober since 2007
what was the study that says one drink brings my life expediency down, can you name the published paper and their sources

I’m short of words to appreciate the great DIZA SPELL CASTER who has helped me with casting out the spirit of alcoholism in my husband life after trying so many means and praying for several years I really thank him from Facebook he carried out all the process..am indeed the happiest woman on earth.
I have ZERO inclination to drinking ANY type of alcohol , now I know it’s the genes .
I am struggling so bad with my alcoholism. If I don’t 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. I’ve 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 been drinking heavy for a little while now( like at least a full pint a day for a year or so) and I stopped yesterday at noon yesterday and now it’s 4 pm today and I don’t have any shakes or heave withdrawals.. just nervous thoughts really about stuff financial stuff. I thought it would be much more intense so am I lucky? Does it kickin more after 34 to 48 hours? I heard the withdrawals kick in around 8 to 24 hours as a heavy drinker.
CAN ANYONE Speak LOUD ENOUGH TO Hear THEM
I am on day 2 of sobriety please pray for me i drank day before yesterday about a half a bottle of whiskey i feel so miserable and crying right now while typing this help me anyone please i am just 25

Deep dive I’ll have to learn more and watch this again

The likelihood of death is 100% no matter how much or little you drink
I have been sober for…. A few hours. I’ll carry on.
Watching bc I can sleep and I’m crawling out of my skin.
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.
Depending on how much you drink you may get a spot of amnesia.. smh.. why did I ever start drinking lmao

I LOVE HOW YOU Introduction IS LOUDER THAN YOUR VIDEO WHICH I CAN BARELY HEAR
I havnt had a drink in 4 1/2 days.. my ears won’t stop ringing, my appetite has increased ALOT and I just feel sluggish and a bit off, like my brain is in slow motion or something (been sleeping alot) and sleepy at work.. anybody have suggestions?? Is this normal??? These symptoms didn’t get bad until 2 days after quitting…
How much would you have to drink for a possible dependence to occur? How often and for how long would someone have to drink to have withdrawals. No videos on YouTube answer this question
Quite now is the best choice you can make for your health and family. I use to be an alcoholic and I day i made a decision to stop. YOU CAN TOO
To have less cravings for alcohol you can use psilocybin. Very helpful for withdrawals too, you can research on it and hit me up if you need em. GL
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?
I drink a lot cause of my depression its the only thing i look forawd too the whole day
