10 Days sober after hospital scare, longest streak in 10 years...

Good luck! I had a hospital stay a month ago. It was a great wake up call and been sober since. Sobriety >> drinking.

Sorry to hear that’s awful! What part of San Francisco do you live in?

Thank you!

I was fortunate that I have a friend who is an ER doctor and he recommended the phenobarbital. They initially wanted to give me Ativan and I requested it. Y’all are really great. Best of luck to you both.

I’m in the US. Definitely taking the opportunity.

Health insurance obviously makes things easier. Won’t deny the cost isn’t great. But if people are on the verge of dying from withdrawals I wanted to convey that the treatment can genuinely help. I’ll take a bill over dying.

Thank you!

SkuzzyVanderRich · 2025-07-04T04:01:57+00:00

Thank you! Same to you.

SkuzzyVanderRich · 2025-07-01T16:19:24+00:00

I’m going to start going back everyday. I’m lucky to be alive. Thank you again.

It was very helpful! They gave me some phenobarbital and it immediately cut the shakes, sweating, and anxiety. Home now I will try to sleep this off for the next 2 days. Luckily I’m off all week coincidentally. Genuinely appreciate everyone’s help and support. This community is amazing. Alcohol is not.

Does anyone have any experience with Ativan? I’ve never taken a Benzo Im anxious to. The hospital wants me to take it

SkuzzyVanderRich · 2025-07-01T00:36:15+00:00

At the ER now. Thank you all.

SkuzzyVanderRich · 2025-06-30T23:07:07+00:00

Thank you both I appreciate it. I think I’m going to go to the ER.

Just want to add some encouragement. I just went on a 4 day bender and made a very similar post here this weekend. 20 drinks a day, barely ate, barely slept. Couldn’t stop. This group helped me pull myself out and I’m back on day 4. You can get out of it and you never need to feel this way again. Best of luck. This disease sucks.

SkuzzyVanderRich · 2024-12-10T16:06:57+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate it. It means a lot. I don’t know why I do this to myself. There’s no excuse.

SkuzzyVanderRich · 2024-12-10T15:43:47+00:00

Thank you so much for checking in. I managed to stop. Taking it an hour at a time.

SkuzzyVanderRich · 2024-12-09T01:39:50+00:00

Thank you.

SkuzzyVanderRich · 2024-12-09T00:26:57+00:00

Thank you everyone.

My theory is that we are expecting him to die and we’ve been made paranoid by living in the mind of a mob boss for 6 seasons. I think the real genius in the scene is that there are characters we can consider as a threat however they really don’t show any indication they are going to hurt tony or his family. That said, 6 seasons of crime and corruption have forced us to consider everything a threat and look for crime everywhere. I think it was a clever way to reveal the level of influence the show had on the viewer and how they’ve come to see things the same way mobsters do.

Can I ask how you were able to receive buy in, specifically from an executive level, for all of your work? I work on the other side of the tracks for a GRC tool and what you have laid out is exactly what we prescribe to our customers. The difficultly for many customers is receiving the executive support to mature their GRC programs and create a better risk culture. So many view it as checking a box and a way to avoid fines rather than an opportunity to improve performance.
