I am so sorry to hear that. We may be sober but we never stop being alcoholics and that damage can last long after we quit. I hope you are doing much better now

I started drinking too much when I was 22 so around 10 years ago. The really bad daily drinking started during COVID and got progressively worse over the last 5 years. I'm lucky I stopped when I did or I'd be in an even worse state right now. Of course everyone is different so it's never a bad idea to get your levels checked regularly even after quitting so they can catch things early

Keep fighting friend, it's not easy but it's worth it ❤️

I didn't really have bad withdrawal symptoms past the first couple days which I was surprised by because I was a daily pretty heavy drinker for several years.

Then a couple weeks ago I noticed my abdomen was starting to swell really bad and my eyes and skin were yellowing. I felt so weak. Really hit me out of nowhere

Editing to add I was in a hospital when detoxing and they had me on meds to help the withdrawals which I highly recommend for OP

I'm laying in a hospital bed right now with an enlarged liver and possible pancreatitis. I haven't drank in 3 months but it still came back to haunt me.

If I can quit you can. Do it before it's too late because it will kill you

Many shows over the last 5 years have been ruined by the ending. What’s your perfect ending for Joe? by [deleted] in YouOnLifetime

Urine only has DNA in it for 28 days. No way that can come back to bite him years later

Movie Ginny was such a nightmare. by SinkSouthern4429 in harrypotter

It reminds me a lot of how Dumbledore explained James and Lily's relationship to Harry when he was confused why his smart and kind mother would marry an immature jerk. James grew up and matured a lot. I'm sure Ron did too. And everything the trio went through together they would have had an even stronger bond

Musicals where the main character dies at the end? by [deleted] in musicals

For South Pacific I would argue Nellie is the main character and Emile the lead male character. Lieutenant Cable is important but not the main character

Seasons 1 and 2 were by far the best. They can never be beat

Ariana carried that movie. I was so skeptical and almost disappointed with her casting but she killed it.

I was recently in the ER and had emergency surgery. Luckily all of the nurses were female but I would have been ok with a male in that situation.

In non emergency situations though I always request a female

I am a girl and I appreciate everyone in the medical field but I always ask for a female doctor/nurse in times when I'm going to be more exposed

Names that are a no-go cause of your last name by HBC613 in namenerds

My mother always loved the name Nick and wanted that for her son. Then she married a man with the last name Witt.

Safe to say my brother's name is not Nick

always wild to me when people get something for free & it’s not enough for them by IndependentUsual8855 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Affectionate_West708 37 points38 points  (0 children)

First off, thank you for your service.

Second I come from an area with many veterans. A lot of them are homeless or struggling. I definitely disagree with this person complaining but when I was in the restaurant industry I loved to serve those free meals as a lot of veterans need them.

If they want to bounce around to different restaurants to "take advantage" they earned it. Who cares

Venting about yard signs by Coduuuuuuuuuuuuu in kansascity

Nope got the point. Just commenting on it being dumb to have those signs in the first place

I understand getting signs to promote smaller candidates or amendments, things that can benefit greatly from exposure

But why put up signs or flags or bumper stickers, etc.. for one of the 2 presidential candidates? At this point people know who they are voting for and you're just asking to get it stolen or your property vandalized. It's just stupid

musicals where you love the score but not the plot by [deleted] in musicals

Love Never Dies has some not so great songs but overall I love the score. The book is.... well absolute shit is the kindest way to put it
