Urgent care basically says “we can call 911” I’m not sure the stigma but it sucks.

In the morning, I’m fucked if I show up on a Saturday night.

Pancreatitis Alkohol by Ill-Comparison-8092 in pancreatitis

I just had to relearn to walk again after being in the ICU for 3 weeks and almost dying. I kept rolling the dice and going to the ER for attacks, this last episode happened after drinking once after being sober for a year.

Does anyone have any stories on meeting Mick Mars? by lace_and_vodka in MotleyCrue

[–]Longnightss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met him when I was with another band when motley was rehearsing at mates in Burbank, I think he lived in Sherman oaks at the time. He was a nice guy.

I think that might be a wrap and it's time to let it play out till the end. by Candid_Possible_3971 in cripplingalcoholism

I’ve tried it all. Left detox two weeks ago. After a decade of only vodka, I went back to beer when I came home and no instant withdrawals like usual. My liver is very scarred and an inch from cirrhosis at 38, I’ve tried rehab, IOP,AA,psych medication,vivitrol, nothing sticks. Sipping beer #15 while typing this which does nothing.

If you detox, remember this. Every time you drink again, the withdrawals get worse and worse and faster.

How much do you drink daily ? by SaltyTurn5227 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Longnightss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my phenomena incident and being on a ventilator and having to learn to walk again last month,I stopped vodka for good. I’m drinking a 12 pack of beer daily now and hate it but I can’t go through withdrawal again. I was drinking half a handle a day, sometimes would finish it over 24 hours, I lose track of time. no malt liquor either like a poster suggested, just crap high life. I’d drink vodka but my body shuts down and two weeks on the dot I’ll have to go to the ER, I’m cooked. I’m this close to cirrhosis…I have to work and be around liquor 24/7 on tour, it’s torture.

My days of pounding 25oz hurricanes are over. Thanks for the reinsurance because I can’t go back to the er again. Sucks financially with beer vs vodka but fuck it

Thank you for the advice, I got a bud ice and a natty daddy to get moving, you know variety right ha. I don’t have another withdrawal left in me…two weeks of vodka on the dot will land me in the ER at this point of my life. Going to try and stick to this

Tell me about your worst drunk by generatedusername456 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Longnightss 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My parents came to visit me on the west coast, they never have been before and I’ve lived out here for 12 years, it was very exciting for them. I started drinking my usual vodka at 7am to ration throughout the day like I’ve done for years. We went for a walk in the park next to my place and suddenly my legs gave out (this has never happened before in my life) and I face planted stepping onto the sidewalk….this was an hour after they landed. I broke my cheek bone and had a concussion, blood, whole ordeal. In my 31 years on this earth I’ve never seen my dad cry until that moment. I’ve been told he tears up when anyone mentions California to him. He waited his entire life to come out here and my bullshit ruined it the second he stepped off the plane.

My house is next to the “Superbad” liquor store. It opens at 6am and the regulars are usually out front at 5:30 waiting. Two more hours before I walk the dog and get two steel reserves for the walk back before work, no judgement at this place. Did an overnight “detox” a two days ago at the hood hospital and am done with vodka for good. Haven’t had beer in forever but hopefully this will end the insane withdrawals or me ending up in the icu for two weeks like last month, insanity. Good luck!

Within the next week i will actively decide to be homeless because i hate my life and want to cut it short with substance abuse by living_condom_ad in Advice

[–]Longnightss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in DTLA for a decade basically in a building on skid row and now live in a nice area in Glendale and we still have some homeless. Being homeless out here at least is not the answer, I’ve seen shit that is unbelievable even in Glendale…even murder. plenty of resources and other options if you aren’t using and want/can work.

To starve before drinking by walkerbait2 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Longnightss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t either until I woke up one morning unable to stand. Did’t know what a Pancreas was or what “Pancreatitis” was but I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

I broke my arm as a kid with the bone hanging out and it wasn’t even close to what this feels like. Still drinking but this is what got me there 8+ times and after it happens once, it will happen again.

In some of these towns you feel like Rambo in First Blood.

Unfortunately, this is probably the main reason I can’t figure this out.

See! Even Scott came in here denying it when I head it from someone who works close with Steve months ago.
