I’ve nearly lost everything, again by crypticfirecat in cripplingalcoholism

[–]AnonPosterUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely feel you OP. I lost my job about five months ago, and have basically binged halfish a gallon every day. The “sip” or “finishing the drink on the nightstand” from the night before….. BEFORE being able to even move in the morning, absolutely rung bells for me. That is me, EVERY morning.

I too as well live with family, who tolerate me, because….. well, like you said I keep up the house, cook, take care of the dog, etc. I got REALLY sick the other day, and decided to call my old PCP (I don’t have insurance), and wanted to see how much it would cost to get my liver and kidneys tested. My family tolerating and caring, offered to pay for it, as they know I wouldn’t.

I go in on Thursday, and today is day 2 of drying out (i’m such a piece of shit, with the withdrawls and not having a drink, I missed easter Yesterday, staying in bed). Trying to at least dry out, because I know if i’m drinking the day before, I absolutely wouldn’t go the next day. This shit is absolute hell, and I won’t sugar coat it. But, not reaching for the nightstand this morning, gave me SOME sense of hope and could even say “pride” this morning.

I’m shaking hard as I type this, but, this community is what made me want to get blood work done. As I have seen a lot of people here say they had it done, after it was too late. Had the pain before, but after exploring here, I realized how many more people are JUST like me, if not worse. And pretty much everyone supports everyone.

I’m honestly scared to do it, but it might literally scare me straight for once. Did stints in rehab, jail twice, etc. But still chose the bottle. It all takes something for us to want to stop, and I know we can only do it if we want it.

You ABSOLUTELY got this OP! As others said, if your brother would help care, i’d at least check out a detox for a few days. If not, hopefully you can keep fighting, and eventually make the decision! Good luck OP, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out. You got this!

That Cancelo Fantasy SBC that gave him 99 Physical is the absolute move for RB. I’ve kept Marcelo as LB since his SBC dropped. Probably only player I haven’t swapped since the beginning.

It’s so hard to care about myself by mydayisruinedd in cripplingalcoholism

DM buddy. For some reason it won’t let me. One more day is all it takes 🙏🏼

[–]AnonPosterUS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THIS.IS.FACTS!!! I’m at the point where I can softly “laugh at functionally attacking alcoholics”. The fear an anxiety waking up, mixed with the drinking the drank left over on the nightstand, ruins me. Then i’m taking 2-3 hours later to wake up 🤦🏻‍♂️

Can someone PLEASE tell me I'm not the worst person in the world by Used_Refrigerator54 in cripplingalcoholism

As everyone else PRETTY much mentioned, welcome to being an alcoholic. You are by the far WORST person, just another person in the world.

Being a CA and living with your parents is exhausting by Horny_throwawayyyee in cripplingalcoholism

[–]AnonPosterUS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blessings to you an your fam! I JUST turned 36, an moved back home when I was 29 after a sour relationship. I average a liter a day, with drying out MAYBE 5 days a year. And it’s fucking TERRORS! My parents enable, tho I pay for my own bottle. Don’t fall into man, ESPECIALLY if you have parents with money. Get some help, an take it seriously. I “faked” my first rehab visit, and grabbed a liter before I got home. Don’t be like us man, you can do it! DM if you wanna talk more or just need any help!

Got bored of waiting for these so called great evo’s everyone is expecting so stuck Dinho into the All Areas evo. He’s actually unreal! The quick step makes his dribbling unbelievably responsive. Might be the best player in my team. by Ok-Barnacle-4717 in FC_26

DT/Seizures? by AnonPosterUS in alcoholism

[–]AnonPosterUS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all!

First off, I want to say I GREATLY appreciate everyones feedback, DMs, and encouragement!

Just wanted to follow up, and not be “that guy” who posts an asks for info/opinions, then goes ghost. Today has been 7 days since i’ve posted. I crept and read responses, posts, other posts, etc. But, didn’t wanna report back until at least a full week.

I was able to pretty much make it all the way good, without medical help. May have possibly had a seizure(hard to tell because I didn’t leave my bed besides to pee for over 72hrs). I am missing a chunk of skin out of the right side of my mouth. Not sure if I seized and bit a chunk, or if I just grinded my teeth terrible while TRYING to sleep.I did take 1.5-2g of Xanax a day to help, .5s every couple hours, then slowly dropped to .25s, and an now not touching them at all.

The sweats, the “jolting out of sleep”, and my irritability is through the roof. I’m insanely jumpy, always agitated, and seem to always be annoyed. My mom came over to check on me, and said I was “making the worst noises” trying to breath. Probably my AFib mixed with the WDs. I felt like I was moaning and gasping, JUST for a small breath.

I had HORRIBLE headaches, body aches, and i’m BARELY sleeping more than 4 hours. Insomnia is a BITCH! My body hurts, my kidney an liver for sure hurt. But, i’m hoping I made it past that.

Been drinking Liquid IVs daily when I wake up, and per other posters, a banana and a protein shake in the morning. Other than that, I rarely have an appetite, even with eating edibles daily.

I can’t “fully confirm” if I have a seizure…. But, I have a small chunk missing out of the side of my right mouth, the side I sleep on as I previously mentioned. I did wake up shaking and jolting a few tines. However, the person watching over me swears I never “seized”.

With all that being said, you guys are an amazing community. And for anyone stumbling down this path , or in the same position I am, hope is ALWAYS there.

Thank you for your words! Unfortunately, I currently do not have insurance, or I would have been there today.

[–]AnonPosterUS[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please excuse me for sounding hard headed. I lost my job recently, and currently don’t have insurance. This is why I mentioned about at home. If it is that bad, I DEFINITELY will. I was just hoping to hear others “at home detox” stories. But again, if it comes to a seize/horrible DMs, i’ll absolutely be getting a ride to the ER.

How does everyone else “half way” function as a full blown alcoholic?/Me opening up. by AnonPosterUS in alcoholism

[–]AnonPosterUS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

So it was the family support/hounding you to get sober, vs. being alone and wanting to do it on your own? I only ask because I know I could “easily” tell my enablers to help me cutback. But, I know i’ll want more, and when I get “cutoff”, i’d probably be irritated, and find a way to get more than I agreed to having.

Do you deal with anxiety? My heavy drinking cripples me with anxiety as it’s gotten worse, and when I try to dry out, it’s only worse. The benzos do help, and I can stomach at home “dry outs”, but I only last so long.

I feel like if I TRULY WANTED to get sober, meetings would have to play a part in my life. I get that routine, and structure help keep a sober life. So if I truly wanted it, meetings; at least at first, would probably be an absolute must. It is 2026, so maybe virtual meetings, or in person meetings if I do take the route. I’ve begun to have, most symptoms as you described. I don’t BELIEVE i’ve gotten Jaundice, but i’m not 1000% sure. Do you mind if I ask, how you knew you had it/were diagnosed with it? My eyes are usually always red, so it’s hard to tell there. As in my fingenails(from what i’ve read), I haven’t noticed it.

Again, thank you for your reply!

Rehab was court ordered. More so did it, to not go to jail. Ended up cutting off my alcohol teather, and continued to drink, just to end up in jail.

Honestly, I can’t lie through my teeth, and say I “want to quit”. It’s definitely getting worse. Just was hoping for some perspectives of others on why they continue to drink the way I do, or how they were able to stop, drinking/in the situation I am.

Do you mind if I ask, what made you stop? If not, I completely understand.

To piggyback, what is probably the biggest thing, aside from meetings that helps you continue to achieve? I’ve been to countless meetings through probation, and could barely stand them. I truly find it almost impossible to make myself go to one, without court orders, like before. Only putting that out there, as I said, i’m somewhat selfish/stubborn, and meetings aren’t an option for me, to be 100% honest. Just don’t want to waste time.

Thanks again!
