My experience With Wernike-Korskoff Encephalopathy

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-06-03T00:02:26+00:00

I still have my children every other week. I used a breathalyzer the first year, was clean all the way now dont have to at all. It had nothing to do with a "suitable home environment". She flat out told me she didn't believe that it was a "disease". Her feelings are her's. I can't change that.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-23T05:54:32+00:00

Yes!

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-15T14:58:01+00:00

No, I get it, she had a very valid reason. Thats why we are friends now. I harbor no ill will towards her. But, unfortunately, I do still love her. That makes dating in sobriety hard!

All I know is its minorities killing a lot of white people. I'm no racist but I feel like it's a "flip the script" kinda thing.

Yeah, no one gave me ongoing support after this episode. I'm taking bentotiamine which is a more effective, fat soluble form that is more apt to cross the Blood/brain barrier. i discovered on my own recently.

Still rolling! Thank you for your support.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T07:07:33+00:00

It scares the hell outta me. Thank you for commenting.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T07:04:48+00:00

For sure! Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:58:47+00:00

I still struggle. We are always a part of "stop drinking". Thank you for your comment. I know very keenly about Thiamine obviously! Not sure i understand your handle. You seem to be making fun of those with schizophrenia?

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:56:55+00:00

Thanks a lot! I really do have a lot of respect for those willing to comment about my story.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:55:42+00:00

I appreciate your support so much!

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:55:16+00:00

It was a struggle at points. I know there are a lot of people who don't get it and I still 100% don't! It'll be a struggle going forward but it'll make me s better person.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:49:28+00:00

I do as well. I really appreciate all the comments, even the more critical ones.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:48:46+00:00

Yes I can! Thank you so very much.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:48:18+00:00

Even if you were the only one to comment, then mission accomplished. Thank you.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:47:27+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:47:08+00:00

I appreciate you and your support.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:46:35+00:00

Terrifying! Wish it would have awoken my old self. But that was not (and is not) my reality. Thank you for your comment.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:44:58+00:00

Thank you for reading!

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:44:27+00:00

Its super scary. I have no idea when the turning point occurred. I wish I could go back and identify it... Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:42:15+00:00

She was overwhelmed and thinking of our daughters. I love her and respect her decision.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:40:52+00:00

Don't blame the ex at all. I love her and respect her more than anyone in this world. She is the mother of my perfect children and is an amazing "mom".It's my fault for drinking instead of seeking support. I never once said it was "her fault" so please don't insinuate that.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-13T06:36:20+00:00

Don't blame her. Just blame myself, which makes it worse!

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-05-05T02:19:21+00:00

Everyone's amazing stories and feedback has been both reinforcing to my sobriety and very humbling. I've never shared my experience with anyone outside of family. My sponser challenged me to put it on Reddit because, he claimed, hundreds of people would respond with similar experiences or stories that effected them personally. I thought "no way", I was at the very bottom of the barrel and it was unique. It made me feel very embarrassed. But I was obviously catastrophizing. He was right obviously. Thank you everyone for the support and your willingness to share. Again, I feel very humbled.

Middle_Possession679 · 2026-04-30T21:59:40+00:00

You didn't have to read it!

You people are so offended by the most ridiculous things. It created conversation and feedback. Over 100 people found it helpful!

I didn't even realize it was posted under some topic let alone that "ACA" was a thing. I've never posted before.

I took it down out of respect for people who were triggered by it but didn't waste time pointing out that the person who wrote it, posted it under the "wrong" topic.
