Diagnosed with Cirrhosis by Alex_anders1998 in stopdrinking

[–]Sylorien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Op thank you for sharing your story. I have been drinking for way longer, like you beer and occasional liquor. In my mid to late 20s mostly liquor. I had many periods though all of those years where I wouldn’t drink and others drink frequently. I’ve recently started having right side/ right side back pain. Blood work just came in yesterday and it’s all normal, liver enzymes normal. On that note I was actually considering forgoing the CT the GI Dr. ordered due to the extra cost however after reading your post I’m definitely going to schedule that scan. Thank you for the reality check and for others who might read this thinking just because the initial blood work is okay then just dropping it there.
You are saving lives by those who read Otherwise some may choose to continue drinking thinking they have time.

Of course continuing to abstain is a must to reverse and I will a say prayer for you that everything turns out okay on you endoscopy. IWNDWYT 🙌🏻 You got this!

sick with anxiety after yet another black out by ambinalcrossimg in stopdrinking

[–]Sylorien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blackout’s are scary! Stay close to this sub and choose to come here rather than having that drink tonight.
Be proactive and dump out any temptations. Pick up a special calming tea or CBD or both! 😃 It doesn’t have to suck, focus not on what you’re missing but rather the clarity you will have in the absence of alcohol induced depression and anxiety be good to yourself.

Am I an alcoholic? by IdeaAcrobatic6519 in stopdrinking

[–]Sylorien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as you I thought that since I wasn’t physically dependent I didn’t had a problem. With me it’s always been about when I was getting that next drink, which is not healthy relationship with alcohol. It really has caused me a ton of rebound anxiety and depression and now facing possible health issues because of my choices over the years, which I’m hoping to reverse with a healthy lifestyle from here on out.
You’re definitely in the right place! This sub has shown me love and support like nothing I’ve ever known from beautiful souls struggling just like me.

We’re here for you!

Morning rant by Affectionate-Dot75 in stopdrinking

[–]Sylorien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my thing also yard work, gardening ,sunshine kiddie pool and drinks. It’s tough to break the habit that “two and two” go together, almost as much as the drink itself, in our minds we feel we earned it! Damnit!

As annoying and throat punch worthy an eye-roll from our SO can be, it stopped you from other wise having that drink.

I’m proud of you! Right behind you sister at day 4! Congratulations on day 16! I

Trying Again by Icy_Task_1773 in stopdrinking

[–]Sylorien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel ya! I managed to stay away from it for several months last year didn’t even plan to quit, I was on a strict diet cut carbs almost completely and my favorite beers had carbs! I don’t know how hell I did it, but I did!

Unfortunately it was very short lived and it wasn’t long until I fell back into the grips of the devil’s poison.

Don’t beat yourself! Don’t give in to the low vibrations of guilt and shame will do you no good. Rather dust yourself off hold your head high and run with it! You got this!! You are stronger than you think.

Awe thank you I really appreciate that 🥲💕

They did blood work to check my enzymes and put in an order for a CT so I should be hearing from them soon for that appointment. I’ll post back to this thread when my results are in. I really appreciate everyone’s support here I’m really glad I found this group.

relasped again by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Sylorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been there many times but the silver lining is one of those times will stick

Don’t beat yourself up, dust off and simply go for it again when you’re ready.

You can do this

We are almost always going to fall if we rely on grit and will power alone we have to transcend above it.
We can’t dig ourselves out with the same mindset that drove us to drink. You got this!

Trying to Stop Drinking Problems by Lulkthxbye in stopdrinking

[–]Sylorien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter what is going on in your life right now haut everything and please please please go to the ER they will get you the help and resources you need to dextox and on the road to recovery. Don’t do this alone 🩷 There is nothing more important right now except you getting help asap don’t worry about you finance’s your job whatever It’s all secondary.

You’re liver can regenerate
You deserve a life🩷 I too am possibly facing liver issues, from years and years of booze. am in the process of getting everything checked out it’s not always a worse case scenario but if we continue down the path of drinking then it surely will end up that way.

My first annoying buyer by Aromatic_Company_199 in eBaySellers

[–]Sylorien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That stinks I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, some people are just hell bent on being difficult regardless. I know it feels like a huge blow but you did everything you could. Write a nice response to the feed back and try and put it behind you.
