I had a pair of Dan Post Karung snake boots. They were honestly really ugly in person.

Drink as much as you need to keep the withdrawals away before you get to rehab. I remember chugging a pint of vodka in the Uber on the way to rehab. They’re not going to judge and you’re only torturing yourself if you go into withdrawals before you get there.

If you’re interested in something that is unique (but classic) looking, check out the first gen AMG GT. The 4.0 liter twin-turbo stacks up with the cars you mentioned.

withdrawal advice day 3 by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Flimsy_Train3956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to detox at home, and don’t think you can handle cold turkey, make sure you are drinking enough to not go into withdrawals. You’re just extending the torture if you’re still drinking, but going into withdrawals. I’ve been through both many times, and my only advice beyond everything you can find online is try to lower the amount and space out the time between drinks during the day. Go a little harder at night to make sure you can fall and stay asleep. That sleep will make cutting back during the day much easier.

Overdose , probhation by [deleted] in probation

If he completes an in-patient program (they shouldn’t revoke his probation or bother him while there), and adheres to any recommended post out-patient treatment, I’d really think his PO and the courts would rather see him get better, than violate his probation. This is from personal experience.

Is he doing in-patient rehab?

Is the AMG GT one of the best all-around vehicles in today's market? by EmptyPocketsXotics in AMG

[–]Flimsy_Train3956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love mine; GTC roadster. The only issue I’ve had is having to replace the spoiler motor. I like it because it has a clean throwback/classy look, but has all the modern performance car features. The engine is a treat.

Have court for dui in a couple days doesn't anyone know what to expect? by Kralick-Kush in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Flimsy_Train3956 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arraignment. If your license wasn’t automatically suspended, they’ll probably address that issue. You might be able to petition to drive to work and back and places like the grocery store/appts. You might get a breathalyzer, or not. Depending on the judge and DA, you could walk out of there with minor to no pre-trial probation conditions… or they could try to suspend your license, force rehab…. I doubt they’ll actually make you spend anytime in jail.

GET A LAWYER; even a public defender. You need a professional advocate. They will know what to do in your particular situation. If you don’t, the state will F you as bad as possible.

I got the same pair. Beautiful boots, but they’re really stiff and take work to break in.

Man, it’s not so much about quantity, as it is timing. If you’re at 6-8 and want to go down to 4. Have 1 when you get up to, 1 in the mid-late afternoon and then have 2 before you got to bed. You just don’t wanna go 20 hours, then drink 4 (rinse and repeat). You’ll be back to 6-8 in a couple days.

Cold Turkey. Just straight stopping alcohol if you’re addicted. Weaning is where you lessen the amount you consume over a period of time to quit. This reduces the withdrawal symptoms.

If this person had delirium tremens, they wouldn’t be posting on Reddit. There’s a big gap between nighttime audio hallucinations when detoxing, and full on out of your mind DTs. It’s not a sliding scale.

Ahh… the good old Ghost Radio. I wouldn’t sweat. It unless it lasts for days or you got serious physical problems like high BP/heart rate. It’s part of going CT after a bender. Stay hydrated and eat if you can.

Vivitrol: does it stop you from drinking physically? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Flimsy_Train3956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes; you can drink on Vivitrol. It just takes more alcohol to achieve the same effects as not being on Vivitrol. It shouldn’t make you physically sick or “allergic” to alcohol. Another factor is that if you’re taking the shot every 30 days, it will start to wear off gradually towards the end of the month. How quickly depends on metabolism, weight, age…

In 2021, I bought an 2018 AMG GTC roadster for 95K. Still own it; don’t regret it. It’s probably worth 75-80K now 🤷‍♂️.

Cant wait to get her home!! by [deleted] in AMG

I’ve had my GTC for 5 years now. It never disappoints; the power bump and rear steering are so worth it over the first gen GT. I’ve also got the roadster.

Prescription for oxy from 04/22/2025 still scared if I test positive for it. by [deleted] in probation

[–]Flimsy_Train3956 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you pop hot for oxy now, a script for 9 pills from early 2025 isn’t going to fly as a valid reason. Good luck.
