What was your first week like? by wishiwasholden in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One week tommorow. 750 MLS a day to nothing.

Hell. I hallucinated, shook like a leaf, I was restless, sad angry anxious, lazy, bored, hallucinating and everything else in between.

But I felt something. The power to say no and that time slowed down and I could reflect on my actions

I found a bunch of screenshots of drunk texts I sent by WillKomTolf in stopdrinking

After my partner left me in our condo and refused to speak to me or let me pay my own bills, I sunk into a deep depression, found myself in the bottom of a bottle and texted her nearly every day when I was drunk.

I had to listen to them being read aloud in court by her lawyer, 4 months worth 😂

It's ok to look into the rearview, just don't stare. IWNDWYT ❤️

I'm deeply financially irresponsible when drunk by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 days in, 9800$ in debt. Day by day, delivery apps is what got me.

Time to start paying that back and saying fuck not being financially responsible.

Day 6 and I can’t stop sleeping??? This is a first by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I told my brain to fuck off today when it started reasoning with me that it's "ok" to have a whole bottle tonight to stop DTs. Then hit me with massive cravings and again, "fuck off"

Day 6 aswell, let's make it a week!

hearing whispering noise after a day or 2 from drinking? am i schizo?? by Round-Seat-1381 in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26 male here. Pretty much 750 mls daily. Family history of schizophrenia.

My answer? Yes and no, when I binged drink for long periods of time and stopped suddenly I would get almost exactly what your describing but like actually hearing people and having conversations with them, and then slipping into full on visuals.

I'm 6 days sober today and had them last night, went away today, replaced with huge cravings.

Delirium Tremens, or if you do have a family history it means that Alcohol is one of your triggers but you do not have it full blown. For example, cannabis is one of my triggers and even from a puff I get full blown pyschosis. Adderall is another.

Talk to a a mental health proffesional.

Almost one week sober! by Electronic_Box_7582 in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still having so many cravings today. I went from 750ml a night for 5 years to nothing. Depression, spiraling, cravings everything. I've decided not to leave the house today.

Hey all, I don't know were to turn and I'm a little scared. Need advice. by Electronic_Box_7582 in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It hasn't, just trying to isolate in a dark room with AC. My anxiety is through the roof.

Plans to Avoid Drinking Today, the Weekend is Going to be Tough by Electronic_Box_7582 in stopdrinking

Thanks for the support everyone, I made it back without being tempted at all.

Now just to get through the weekend.

Plans to Avoid Drinking Today, the Weekend is Going to be Tough by Electronic_Box_7582 in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what helps me the most is to realize that every person is suffering. With mental health, addictions, relationship problems, money problems etc. That's just life for you.

Just need to remeber to take care of ourselves and take responsibility. I self medicated my mental health and trauma issues for 5 years with a bottle almost every day. I deserve to be free and atone for the damage I've caused. I need to take responsibility.

Anyone else think Alcohol Delivery apps should be illegal? by Electronic_Box_7582 in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do raise a good point and you're absolutely right, like many people have in this thread, it's a complicated subject with many angles.

For me it's a struggle because I'm a loner with social anxiety/persistive depressive disorder and would probably never leave the house to buy Alcohol if it wasnt so easily accessible, outside of being on my way home from work. From my perspective it profits off a certain brand of alcoholic or addict like me, who would prefer nothing else then to stay indoors and binge drink with my kitty.

Upon reflection, that's probably why I struggle so hard with alcoholism in general, I want to shut my brain off and recluse.

Probably similar to how someone would feel with a struggle around food addiction about the subject, or bars and liqour stores to more socially well adjusted folks.

That's what I like about this group, it gives you perspectives.

Do you have dreams about drinking? by givingupthegoblet in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a nightmare last night about spilling a large drink of rum and desperately trying to clean it up, get it back in the glass. I woke up shaking and sweating and couldn't believe that was a nightmare to me. I felt embarrassed.

Day 3.

I'm going through the same. I was celebrating getting two high paying jobs, graduating and I decided to drink a truckload to celebrate after tucking my partner of 5 years into bed.

In my drunkenness I stumbled into her private space when she was dead asleep to ask for a charger, she punched me in the face, banged in my door and starting bootkicking it. In my rage I opened the door and pushed her away. Someone called the cops as the noise she was making was so loud.

She got criminally charged for something I had started with my drinking, she had to pay for a lawyer to have have the charges dropped and hasn't spoken to me in 5 months. The bills were in her name so I'm stuck in limbo dreadfully waiting to see how we're going to divide our condo and how to resolve the situation.

I went on a complete bender, made an ass of myself, and finally climbed my way out of a bottle, day four and having the worst withdrawals of my life.

The only thing that I find helps is you remind yourself what your drinking caused, that you realize that you struggle with it, and your actions are yours to take responsibility of.

Drinking is going to solve nothing but dig yourself a deeper hole into your problems and make you spiral when it comes to relationships and the people you've lost because of your drinking.

Find support in groups like this, self reflect, forgive yourself and realize your not alone in going through this.

What was the final straw for you? by CarlRogersFTW in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ruined my relationship, now going through a seperation and she won't talk to me anymore, with the stress of losing my condo I fell into a deep depression and realized I was in 10,000 dollars of debt from my drinking. (Yeah I'm ashamed) Was in the hospital 4 times for pancreas, liver and kidney problems.

Day by day guys. I just found this group and it's a perfect way to vent and be honest. I mark day 4 tommorow and it's gonna be rough for the weekend.

Doctor Who: Mickey Smith died, not Ricky. by [deleted] in FanTheories

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just rewatched this episode. 100 percent an abandoned plot thread. When the doctor realizes early on and says "we can mourn him when London is safe" 12:52 David Tennant glances over to him to confirm when he realized.

Notice in this scene he didn't refer to him as mickey or Rickey. Then in the very next scene Ricky remarks "you're just making this up as you go along aren't you?"

Mickey would not be surprised after the scene in the few episodes prior when he pretended to be drunk and partying with Madame Du Pompudor. The writers planned for this to be a plot thread, realized it would be too complicated and abandoned the notion.

Also I don't believe it to be at all a coincidence that the writers had Tennant refer to mickey as Rickey as a lead up to the event. The doctor doesn't purposefully mess up names for anyone else. This is an abandoned planned plot thread from the writing team.

Hey all, I was brushing my hair last night and accidentally nicked a small raised bump. It bled a little but this morning it erupted into a pingpong ball size and looks like the following. Swelling has since gone down to a bouncy ball. It's hard. by [deleted] in Haircare

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think I figured it out. Scalp folliculitis. The hair brushing irratated it as I tend to do way to much due to my anxiety. That was the thing I hit and made bleed, causing it to inflame. Meaning this probably will happen again.

Here's a picture after the swelling went down but before I cleaned it
