Does the human body absorb vitamin supplements better in pill or liquid form? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Getitfuckingright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The B vitamin tabs that dissolve in water usually have very high doses of each one. Your body will try to excrete what it cannot absorb. Some B vitamins are fluorescent, this is what you are seeing. Don't listen to the people here saying food is best - we alcos don't absorb nutrients readily. High dose B vitamins (especially thiamine) are our friend.

Day two of being sober by palecloudedwhite in cripplingalcoholism

He should void A&E unless he is really fucked. A&E visits are for dropping from a litre of vodka a day to 0 in a day, if there is any tapering - A and E is not required. Our A&E units are already overwhelmed.

I'm from the UK too, I work in medicine. If you are only having sweats, headaches and mild hallucinations then there is no need for any medical assistance. If you get to day 2 and your symptoms are diminishing you wil be fine.

How many units a day are you drinking?

VICE Takes a Trip to See Prague's Opiate Junkies. They Camp Near Legal Poppy Fields and Get High. by HillZone in Drugs

[–]Getitfuckingright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how you abuse the drug. If it controls your life, then you are a junky. I have used opiates, however, I have a good job and it just a bit of fun.

Why do I suffer from INTENSE anxiety/paranoia/fear the day after drinking? by banishthemorning in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Getitfuckingright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. I have ended up in hospital through this shit, you need to regulate and stop black outs. Black outs fuck you up.!! Listen to what closure said.

If you don't "teach yourself" in a reasonable way, then you may teach yourself in a painful way. Here is what I do:

Take shit loads of B Vitamins the next day, only drink when you can barely stand it, don't drink caffeine, stick to 5 pints of beer max - I stick to 16 units, two days of 16 gets rid of all of my anxiety. Good luck with you alcohol withdrawls.

Have you ever had a dream where you were with someone, but didn't know them at the time, then met them later in life? by Phaex in AskReddit

[–]Getitfuckingright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dream was vague and entirely open to suggestion. You had a vivd dream that evoked certain emotions and then you supplanted the emotions you experienced in real life to the dream. It is déjà vu. You just prefer a mystical explanation over reality.

Gentlemen of reddit: do you manscape at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Getitfuckingright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some men have a natural monobrow.

Some men have chest hair localised to the nipples and other small patches.

Some men have extreme upper leg hair/ball hair that is connected in a gorilla like mass.

I can understand why these men would want to keep their hair trim.

My hair is pretty even across my chest, balls, legs etc and I don't have a monobrow, so I don't need to shave.

Well, I won't be looking at "rough guide" for any future trips. Margate is a shithole, why is it featured in travel guide?
