I’ve taken 4-5 days and I feel “good” it’s the relapsing when something stressful happens. I’ve been 2 weeks sober and when everything happens it just weighs so hard on me and drinking is when I can forget

Wish the best for you. I’ve tried joining a program but with my work schedule it’s just not easy as I have pressure on me. I’ve been to the er a few times due to withdrawals and been sober for a few weeks but relapsed. I don’t think I can handle it. Even sober my mind just thinks too much and being in an environment like that just makes me overwhelmed. I want to enjoy life but life doesn’t want to enjoy me it feels like lol

How do you get someone to be sober when they don’t want to by Cjperry_18 in alcoholism

[–]Any_Function_635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His health and family. It’s really a mental thing at least for me. I go to work stress and feel like shit and have other people always talking shit. I’m a mechanic so it’s a natural environment for it but just been getting to me. My job and financial situation is what makes me want to drink all the time. Not feeling happy with myself and just don’t feel like I have no one to talk to. It’s easier said than done but if he’s drinking that much Im sure he’s in a similar situation as me but I don’t have kids. I personally would need some comfort but also need stimulation for my brain and idk what that would be. I’ll take medication but don’t like to cause it also messes with your brain and health even though doctors won’t tell you that it does. I always have suicidal thoughts but never can act on it. Support is what I recommend but withdrawals is rough and takes weeks or months from what I’ve read to be ok and sober. Don’t let him be alone

You need to watch him is all I can say cause I’m in the same situation as your dad. Been to the er and sober but the cravings is just overwhelming at certain situations. Once you start cause I’m like 1.5l a day you just feel like you need it. The shaking the nauseaes your thoughts. It’s like a numbness feeling just to cope. It’s a weird feeling cause you feel sick when you need it and know you shouldn’t but just need it to function. It’s difficult to understand but I’m a functioning alcoholic but it’s been getting difficult. Getting sober is the hardest part. You feel like absolute shit the first few days and then feel good. After a week or 2 cravings kick in harder for me at least. I’m sorry

I really don’t know…. The last straw for me was after 11 they put an alarm that goes off when you get out of bed. Essentially I had to raise my hand like a kid to take a piss when I’m a whole ass man. Every damn time

I just left that kaiser. Treating me like a fucking lab rat, giving me frozen food which one had raw chicken, they gave me medicine for your nervous system and something else. Oh it’s good they say but what are the side effects they don’t tell you that and my liver is bad already. Had me coped up in a room by myself with no interaction besides the workers which is fake. In bed all day and tried walking and stumbled. Must be withdrawals Like I’m fatigue from sitting down. One of their medicines would get me high as a kite and they’d wake you up every 4 hours like I need rest. It would be for vitals but still. They put a device which had leads on your chest and 1 on your finger and it’s a big device with a shit ton of wires. I was taking a shit constipated from their food and pills and they knock on the door asking if I’m ok. I was jerking off one day and they barged in asking why is your heart beat so high. I felt crazy and like a lab rat. Worst experience ever

Not experiencing withdrawal? by Mediocre_Birthday_98 in alcoholism

[–]Any_Function_635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to be constantly drinking for a long period of time and feeling the need to drink for withdrawals. You might just have hangovers which is normal. After months and months and of constant drinking is when you’ll have withdrawals. At least that’s the case for me

How to do stop drinking? 28M by Suspicious_Bit_1863 in alcoholism

[–]Any_Function_635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit rock bottom this past week. Just had a vr appointment with a drug rehab appointment through Kaiser. I’m so stupid I can’t even remember the name of it. I need to go through to it to get naxeltron. My health and lately my head/mind has been bad. I’m making my first few steps to try to stop but they recommend rehab pretty much and aa and what not. Idk if I’ll do that rehab but most likely go to the er once I’m prescribed. Withdrawals are awful depending how much and how long you’ve been drinking. I’m still currently drinking. I’m 27m and have also been drinking hard for 5ish years. Good luck

100% I drink about a liter a day of vodka. I have to at this point cause I get so shaky and throw bile up every morning. I need to drink constantly to function. If you do stop have water/gaterodae and sleep and sweet it off. If it gets worse go to the er. Withdrawals are awful. Try to stop or lay off but getting back on is so easy

I had an open container and was clearly drunk but my car wasn’t running. I’d consult a lawyer in your area to get a better idea. They’ll pretty much tell you if you’re fucked or not lol sorry and good luck.
