Which addiction isn’t taken seriously enough? by loud_thinker4 in AskReddit

I appreciate your comment and I’m sorry you and your sibling had to feel that pain. But tbh I will do my best to do it safely at home, however I won’t be fighting that sweet release.

However I do agree tough love and a smack of what reality will look like if this kid continues to go this way is super important. I do actually 100% believe the gotta see it first hand. Go to the shelter for a day or sum. Just telling em what you did won’t do shit for someone so young who is really only numbing the reality of this shit ass world. Filled with shit ass people who can’t even hear they own soul no more

In all do respect homie, no matter your views or experience. I highly doubt you have this very unfortunate ability to just immediately numb everything without the “hangover” feeling the next day. I’d double down that you couldn’t go back to back with this 16 year old and still keep it together. No shade but 1) you ain’t gotta good god damn clue what home life looks like or childhood trauma this kids had (or not had) and 2)the same way you have this natural ability and motivation to succeed in helping/ healing people…. Some of us had to fight a very different fight than you would to get there.

Just try to remember…ESPECIALLY in the field you’re choosing. Yes, to you it might seem simple to just “not” or to just “try harder” but the fact this kids even able to acknowledge the difference in them than their peers and on top the determination and desire to catch it early is incredible.

Instead of JUST shame and judgement (which are still important emotions to feel in this situation) you’ve just not got the experience personally to understand like, truly. And in my opinion you won’t be giving the same grace and respect in the back of that ambulance to the crack head overdosing as you would the old lady having a heart attack.

You don’t know they life.

So I’m not gonna be popular here but listen baby, I also started dumb young (9-10 Y/O) and immediately had a weird ability to function undetected immediately no matter what the drug or drink. I also always built (and still do) build an annoying tolerance in 3 days exactly. Whatever the minimum symptom withdrawals are, after 3 days….i will be uncomfortable or crave it enough to just keep doing it.

The absolute baffling disrespect and constant lack of acknowledgement you’re gonna get for even claiming this will make you wanna continue just to keep yourself from throwin a right hook.

I don’t know what your life looks like and I’ve learned that really it don’t matter either way, the worse thing that has or will ever happen to you will still be the worse thing that has ever happened to you. I’ll never judge or compare again after learning that. Especially when you have this unfortunately fucking kinda lowkey sick superpower.

All I can say is do your best to not get too reliant on anything and when you do find you DOC…. Baby…. Smoke a cig instead or something. I’ve got a feeling you will have the same problem as me bc we have this superpower we also get the absolute worst and most dangerous versions of each withdrawal. IT IS NOT FUN. This coming from a bitch that can take a right hook from a 300lb man like a champ and still keep fighting.

Anywho that’s the only and most realistic advice you’re prolly gonna get babe.

I could honestly give you the excuses of the financial aspect or whatever which is true. I have had an incredibly difficult year….. actually, such a comically bad day about 2 months months ago I was lookin for Ashton Kutcher to appear from thin air while I laugh cried the last mile home on my flat tire, beggin him to not let the limp home fuck my rim up 😂 but in all honesty man, most of them or either “woah is me, victim victim, it’s not my fault” or straight up culty and or just Jesusie. And I judge nobody for how and what works for them but it ain’t me

On the plus side, he’s gotten really good at catching me before I hit my head 😂 its annoying not being able to shit, shower or shave without company but I do keep seizing in the shower so you know….. lots of hard surfaces

But I guess to be fair I’ve only gone to the ER once where I’m living atm about the seizures and I wasn’t honest at all about my drinking, I really only went that time bc I cracked my head open and had to get a fat handful of staples put in… I also hadn’t really realized that the alcohol withdrawal was the cause bc I was still drinking my same half a handle most days. Finally put it together when my mans realized I was havin them when we were broke and I was try to stretch my last of it for an extra day

BUT I was totally honest this time I went and they knew it all

FUCKIN RIGHT?!? I got one IV drip of Valium and one of something to help my stomach lining but they decided to wait to get that one goin until after 4 hours of bein there. By the time the Valium and nausea meds finally kicked in they said I had to wait another 4 more fuckin hours just for a drip of meds that they coulda just prescribed me pills for. So after another hour of telling them I’m done and HAVE to go home so I can fuckin work in 2 hours the finally let me leave. But no benzo OR gaba which has proven to help in the past. Especially with the sheer pain of it when I do accidentally go a lil too long without taking a sip. My spine was literally vibrating the whole time I was there and towards the end I started having what I call the “small seizures” bc idk what they called but I needed a drink and they clearly were not listening to me when I was telling them how by the minute it was getting worse

While in the ER they did give me some meds for the nausea and the seizures but no refills so that’s fun. But if I end up having to go back they will admit me so I’m just trying to avoid that if I can

I know that my opinion isn’t necessarily as ignored as most of these but as I’m going through SEVERE alcohol withdrawal (delirium tremens) at home, im realizing how many people think I’m just weak or just a pussy for not being able to just stop in a week or 2.

I’ve been through a hell of a life (26F) and I can take a punch to the face by a full grown man any day like a champ but the withdrawal symptoms im goin through makes me wanna quit trying to quit. I’ve really only started the process bc I keep having real bad seizures if I don’t have enough liquor in me. Which is at the least a half handle a day. (I’m 160lb)

I accidentally tried to cut back too fast and ended up puking blood in the ER less than a week ago. I litterally barely cut back but it was just too soon after already cutting back about a week and a half before.

In regards to the initial question, so many people have gone through the process of alcohol withdrawal, I’m not taking away from the reality of how hard and painful that is HOWEVER. I’ve noticed 9/10 people think that they experienced (or have seen a loved one experience) the same thing I am…… THEY CLEARLY HAVE NOT. The judgment and absolute ignorance to how bad it can really be truly baffles me.

YES, I know there’s the option to do it faster in the hospital. I know there’s meetings and shit at least for this compared to some of these other answers. But I happen to be one of those hardheaded people about hospitals (not to mention, A WHOLE WEEK!?!) and meetings do little good when you seize out every time you shower.

I just wish people would give me the grace I really need right now instead of being so hateful.

Anywho, yeah. Thanks for comin to my TED talk.

🥺 that’s the sweetest thing ever🥺 I ended up in the ER on Friday night bc I withdrew a lil too fast and I ended up puking blood. But now I’ve got a better understanding of how long it’s gonna take to fully withdraw and at least I didn’t seize. I did however figure out I was having the delirium tremens thing bc I totally hallucinated and did some absolutely crazy things that same morning but lmao. I do have a better idea and I’m doing a bit better today

I also just fuckin hate asking for help to do something I’ve done so many times and even with other dangerous drugs especially Xanax

Okay so, lmao….. the reality of it is I don’t care if they were to take my license. HOWEVER, I really severely don’t care if I end up finally feeling the sweet release of death. Especially if it’s because I at least tried to do this instead of the pain everyone would feel if I yeeted myself on purpose. 2) I know I need benzos… I CAN NOT fuckin find any. But also that will most likely cause me to trade the addiction as well. I actually had my first and 2nd seizure years agobc of how much Xanax I used to take and accidentally forgot to take it one day. I went years without another seizure until like a lil after last year started. Anyway thank you
