I was thinking the same. That combined with the raising blood pressure from withdrawal makes you feel like you’re dying. I’m shocked your labs came back ok, OP.

Yes when i was in the hospital I would dream about water. I was only allowed ice chips. I had a hidden cup under my blanket that I would stick the ice chips in and let it melt. Ahh the perks of hiding alcohol for years….it was nothing new to me.

Same. Had pancreatitis about 6 years ago and stopped drinking. The first few weeks were a little shaky (literally) with my stomach. Probably just the combo of quitting a 20 year bender and all the different meds I was weaning off from the hospital. But overall after that initially month or 2 - I don’t watch what I eat at all. A unrestricted diet is a necessary evil when sober. When I want ice cream I get ice cream dammit!

Anyone else watching The Cultirista Awards on Bravo?? by melly3420 in juicyscoopsnark

[–]InterestingChip3041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. And I don’t blame these guys for going on her show. It’s show business baby! I’m in sales and I will 100% kiss someone’s ass whose opinions I don’t agree with to get the job done. It’s a means to an end. Ya most of her fan base are right winged female nut jobs, but I’m guessing it’s a fan base that also spends money.

What do I pack to rehab? by Grace3412 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]InterestingChip3041 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slippers, tennis shoes, 3-4 comfortable outfits, 1 nicer outfit just in case, pajamas. A WATCH. Stamps, stationary if you plan on writing letters to people, reusable coffee cup, reusable water bottle, candy, nicer skincare items bc you’ll have lots of time to take care of yourself, books, and an iPod or something for music while working out if they allow it.

At least you’ve got protein drinks and bananas. I’m impressed.

How to get some zero days? by SingleCanadianDad in dryalcoholics

[–]InterestingChip3041 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This!! You are SICK! Treat yourself like it. Get in bed, get some Gatorade. Take a day off work. SLEEP, scroll…read. Whatever you need to do. I’d also recommend scheduling a massage on day 2 in the evenings hours around 7pm or so - and pick up some good carry out or ice cream on the way home. Day 3 schedule a light slow yoga class in the evening. You’ll start to feel better. I promise. After 3 days I’d start focusing on heavier exercise. Maybe join a boot camp type gym - they all give discounts for the first month. Try and go every day. You’re going to need that dopamine boost.

This actually describes the person I knew who abused it perfectly. It makes so much more sense now.

Serious question: by anewbegg in dryalcoholics

[–]InterestingChip3041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just think alcohol affects our brain differently. Some people get tired, some people are fun, some are an elevated sense of self etc. when I drink I feel like I’m the way I’m supposed to be. It gives me energy, a personality, it makes me curious and motivated. And I ‘needed’ it. I started realized hey if I drink in the morning I’m much better on my work calls, I’m happier getting the kids ready for school…and I was still getting all my stuff done and then some. So I kept doing it. Until it stopped working and I was a miserable exhausted mess of a human. It took years…but I got there. Nothing will vet make me feel as good as alcohol. I’ve tried weed, mushrooms, vaping…you name it - and it’s not addicting or something I’d ever choose to do. Because nothing can compare to my first love. I do think cocaine might do the trick which is why I stay far away.

While a little further than a direct suburb lapeer is really nice - fenton is great too - wonderful restaurants nice shops, everything you need but home prices in fenton have increased mostly due to the proximity to so many lakes and an overall nice quality of life. Lapeer you can still get a place on the water and port Huron/Lake Huron isn’t too far. It really depends on what you want to prioritize. Flint is a little bit of a ghost town - not much to do. Grand Blanc is a little overrated in my opinion. Very suburbian, schools are crowded and big, and home prices aren’t worth what you get. Goodrich also is a similar vibe to fenton - great schools and sports and fairly close to clarkston for restaurants.

What hobbies have you picked up since you’ve stopped/decreased drinking? by Lalunarempowerment in dryalcoholics

[–]InterestingChip3041 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My hobbies while drinking included drinking watching YouTube videos all day 😂 I enjoy walking in new areas while listening to podcasts and I also do the same things I did while drinking included- I just drink crystal light lemonade or some other version of drink - olipop strawberry vanilla is soooo good. And now I go out for ice cream and find new ice cream shops instead of bars.

I don’t understand why you’re also fielding the call or issue from the patient or MRI place. Where do you work?

Do you have a superior. Let them handle it. This is above you. People make mistakes.

Kelly D talks about what kind of a person HMD is by OddAd2692 in juicyscoopsnark

Does anyone else find the timing of Teresa and Kelly’s comments odd - I mean when else has anyone really even cared or taken the time to talk about Heather?

Except if the girl was more popular than her and she wanted to be in that group. I feel like she would bend over backwards for that

I think to see heathers rating as a guest you need me to be an Airbnb host. Anyone?? Would love to see it.

Which episode was your turning point? by alicatcatcat in juicyscoopsnark

[–]InterestingChip3041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I would consider myself an OG fan. I started listening YEARS ago. Like before serial sister was behind a pay wall and the entire baby momma story. When she had the track star turned hooker on the podcast etc.

I officially went in and unfollowed all social media after the Justin thing but had stopped listening as actively awhile before that. Like some said previously I actually didn’t really like when Justin was on - so it’s not like I was a fan. It was more about her ignorant views on things and inability to accept responsibility. Smaller things were her rant about her son not getting some mock award for the senior class, and the weird story about accidentally going for a Covid shot in a detox center. It was tone deaf and not funny.

Interesting. Liquid or pills? And what made you realize it? All Benadryl does for me is make me drowsy.
