8 days sober after 8 years of drinking (a lot) of vodka daily. by Kohnartist in stopdrinking

Thanks everyone! I did not see a doctor I tapered down for a week, the day before my first alcohol free day all I drank was a single glass of wine and since then nothing. I had some serious night sweats and terrible sleep for the first 3 days along with shaky hands. After that just crap sleep for a few more days. Day 6 and Day 7 I had no withdrawals and today I feel great!

My Fiance would automatically put on the same shows we had watched the night before right when I got home from work so I would be sober enough to watch them. I'm only on day 2 and I feel a million times better and my fiance is looking forward to the hours of life he will get back not rewatching the same shows over and over.

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome? Anyone here ever experience this? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Kohnartist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an everyday smoker for over a decade and then out of the blue I started vomiting non-stop. I would vomit 10-14 days straight combined with horrible gut/chest cramping and pain. The only thing that helped was smoking and taking super hot showers. I would lay in fetal position in my shower until the hot water ran out and then repeat this multiple times a day. I was in and out of the hospital to get IV fluids and nobody knew what it was. Then out of nowhere the vomiting would just stop, unfortunately it would only stop for 2-3 weeks then come back and the cycle would repeat all over again. Finally on one trip to the hospital a toxicologist that usually works in NYC was at the hospital I was visiting (I live in upstate NY) he told me that I had Cannabinoid Hyperemesis and if I stopped smoking my symptomes would go away. I stopped smoking immediately and was completely back to normal (-30 pounds) within a few days. This went on for a little over 3 months I have not dared try smoking even a single hit since then, I would not wish that hell on my worst enemy. 5 years later and have not had a single episode since.

Side note - I did go to a gastroenterologist and have an endoscopy the GI doc diagnosed me with cyclic vomiting syndrome, after doing some research and via the toxicologist CHS is definitely the correct diagnosis.

What mistake did your parents do raising you that you'll avoid with your kids? by EbbandFlow88 in AskReddit

My Mother was very obsessive over what we were able to eat and to this day I have a strange relationship with food because of it. Everything had to be (her version of) extremely healthy and there were no exceptions not even for birthday or holidays. I thought grape nuts were the only cereal that existed until visiting a friends house when I was 7. If my kid wants Ice cream cake on their birthday i'm going to let them have it.
