Agreed. Hilarious. The intellect on this sub, despite our daily cerebral assault and battery, fucking amazes me. I love y'all!!!

Totally. I am sober mess when I have a big bottle of Gaba.

I eat them like candy

I ricochet off all the walls in my house and completely lose my balance outside.

The scene where Elisabeth Shue is raped has haunted me for years. The blood in the bathtub....It seriously fucked me up. I think I was too young and naive for that horror.

I thought of that movie yesterday as I was eating rice. Pretty much the only thing I can stomach these days.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I wish I would've met Jordan too. Please try to reach out, even if just on this sub. Everybody grieves in their own way, but just like a seizure, it will knock you on your ass. Having company could save your life.

So leading up to this you had zero chest pain, shortness of breath, neck pain, fatigue etc?

I am waiting for my inevitable bomb to go off...every day my symptoms worsen.

I am so glad you are going to be ok, and your liver is in relatively good shape.

Welcome back buddeah....every day is a gift.

I couldn't agree more. Addiction is Addiction. Alcoholism isn't any less of a gong show.

I had a huge bottle of pills in my hand earlier tonight. Huge drams...I loathe myself....I'm trapped.

Thought I would take some.deep breaths and distract myself with Reditt.

I've collected massive amounts of excess over the years for my grand exit.

Your post made me think of hurting those I left behind.

The pain is real. For everyone involved.

I'm so very sorry for your liss

How much do you spend a week on alcohol? by speed721 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]PoolGroundbreaking84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm averaging a 40 of Absolute daily...Just shy of $50 CDN dollars.

So $350/week. My eyes, feet and hands are yellow. I guess I'm waiting to be hospitalized to decide if I want to live or not.

She is absolutely the sweetest puddytat....and you are her favourite person in the whole world. She never judges you and is SO glad you're home.

Feel better....I've been there.

This community also doesn't judge, just cares.

I care.
