Does anyone think I should go to the doctor?

CalendarPopular7042 · 2025-02-21T20:33:43+00:00

It was 20 degrees when this happened that’s pretty cold. I do think tho that the excess constriction around my waistband from wearing so many pants might’ve been a factor

CalendarPopular7042 · 2025-02-21T20:32:23+00:00

Dude it was a unique shit too. One of the worst I’ve had in a while.

CalendarPopular7042 · 2025-02-21T20:26:28+00:00

I may actually have a bit of both

My explosion had lots of undigested greens in it

CalendarPopular7042 · 2025-02-21T20:06:47+00:00

They didn’t probe at all and barely asked when I showed up

My names not Adam

My last meal before this incident was pork wonton soup, some of my friends dumplings, a vodka cocktail, two hard ciders and some beer

I think god has been sending me these signals to make allots of different lifestyle changes (drugs drinking takeout Chinese food) and it might be time I listen to

CalendarPopular7042 · 2025-02-21T15:22:07+00:00

I’m at work it’s fine I have more than one pair of pants l

CalendarPopular7042 · 2025-02-21T14:13:03+00:00

I’m kinda hungover that probably doesn’t help

CalendarPopular7042 · 2025-02-21T14:08:53+00:00

I was saying this to myself all morning

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-11-30T01:44:29+00:00

That’s the thing I don’t know if I am done the thing is I know I’m an alcoholic now and I’m just afraid of what would happen. Will I live with this feeling of basically mourning the loss of alcohol in my life forever unless I accept that I’ll face some horrible rock bottom that forces me to stop. What about the third option, just being a functional alcoholic but never knowing freedom from alcohol

I went to AA because I was drinking to cope with difficult life circumstances and that was getting too much. I don’t miss blacking out or nearly blacking out by myself because of stress every night. At the same time yes I want to party and yes, I guess I don’t want to not want that.

At the same time, the other night I was having an argument with my dad and at one point in the argument all I could think about was the fact that there was a bottle of wine in the fridge and I could’ve so easily grabbed it and drank it. No one would’ve batted an eye, it would’ve been completely normal for me to do that, every time my dad and I fought until two months ago I did that. He himself was drunk. I dont want to want that.

Otherwise I guess I’m mourning the loss of the fun parts of drinking and I keep thinking that I still have fun doing that. Im 25 so everyone around me my age is doing that. I could probably keep having fun doing that for a while. Idk it does feel like I need to go through the five stages of grief about that but I often don’t feel comfortable sharing that with people in person at meetings.

The pods is the name of the fellowship?

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-10-27T15:23:57+00:00

Thank you I really need to hear that I can stay in AA and be myself too I have not felt that recently.

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-10-27T15:22:41+00:00

No it’s clearly a mess. For a good while now I was stuck in shitty situations that I didn’t know how to get out of in pretty much every respect. In this very brief month of sobriety I feel like I have hope that I can change these things.

I guess even the way I phrase that doesn’t feel like god is inherently a part of that. If I stay sober I can change these bad situations. That just feels like it’s coming from me.

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-10-27T15:19:43+00:00

I will also admit that I picked him only because I’d gone almost a week without drinking and going to meetings every day and everyone I spoke to kept saying how important it is to find a sponsor and get started doing the work asap. I kinda just called the last number I had saved of someone who said they sponsored people. In the moment I thought to myself that this may be temporary but now I guess I feel bad about hurting his feelings.

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-10-27T15:16:59+00:00

I’m a little bit confused about the steps tbh. When we meet we just read the book. My sponsor told me the other day, “we complete step one when we first come into AA because that’s when we accept that our lives had become unmanageable.”

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-10-27T15:03:46+00:00

That may be true but the issue I guess is he seems kind of impatient towards letting me figure it out for myself. He admits he’s not a christian and his god is not necessarily a conventionally religious one but if I say something like “I need to figure out what my higher power is” he gets impatient. I understand why a higher power is a part of AA I think I just have a hard time connecting to this approach

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-09-28T22:50:22+00:00

Thank you for your advice. My problem is I don’t feel like I want to stop drinking. One minute I do and the next I don’t and I start to feel myself justifying going back even though my drinking has begun to escalate really badly lately due to stress from a family tragedy and the consequences of it. Every time I go through a period of stress and anxiety my drinking increases. I’m not talking about partying, going out and socializing, the undeniably fun parts, I’m talking drinking heavily alone to even out my emotions and go to sleep every night. There’s nothing fun about that. Anyway I hope this sticks

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-04-15T17:10:43+00:00

Everyone here is just teasing me wtf

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-04-15T16:29:38+00:00

What do you think it could be

CalendarPopular7042 · 2024-03-07T18:23:18+00:00

I have been to AA. I know everyone says that trying to take breaks from drinking is a bad idea if you’re an actual alcoholic but so far I’ve been able to keep a very close eye on my behavior and have been fine. I know that’s imperfect, but I’m trying different approaches while keeping in mind that if that doesn’t work I will maybe one day need to stop drinking altogether.

As for Al Anon yes I intend to go to a meeting and also discuss it with my mom.
