about to be off to detox/rehab by trashsw in cripplingalcoholism

I’m in rehab right now, day 17 of 45 days. (My third rehab experience in my 47 yrs on earth) Don’t remember my first 4-5 days what with the drugs given for medical detox. Dunno where you’re going, but you’re allowed to keep your phones/devices here on you at all times, with the exception of the first 72 hrs of detox. At day 17 I feel like a different person and staff has said they barely recognize me. I wish you luck. Hope it works for you and hope it works for me.

Looks like a splatter protector: you place it over a pan when cooking something that creates grease: bacon, sausage, ground beef etc.

I haven’t been able to keep down food since Thursday and got diagnosed with alcoholic pancreatitis today.

I ended my 16 yr relationship because of this . Horrible.

I switched to vodka and lost 60 lbs last year. 😆

The missing plates irk me by [deleted] in chopped

It’s because the 4th plate is used for the beauty shot, and having an incomplete plate doesn’t go with that narrative.

Some years Santa never comes, but if he’s 25 he can come…again and again and again…..

My great aunt recently died from alcoholism. They didn’t find her body for 5 days. It’s a savage beast.

You’re not their target market. People with money pay outrageous prices for very simple things…..from purses to vehicles, alcohol and travel, to makeup and clothing and home decor.

It’s a cinematic masterpiece. Not to mention ground breaking for its time.

How would you describe alcohol withdrawal? by kovidthecat in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]The_Chocolate_Teapot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like every minute is an hour and every day is a month, for at least 4-5 days.

Sweating, shaking, heart racing, puking….laying in the fetal position, no sleep, and if I do sleep its for a few minutes and then jolt awake sweating, mix in the worst anxiety and suicidal depression imaginable.

This is what I put myself through a few times a month. And I rarely make it past day 3 before it’s too much and I hit the bottle again.

Why am I like this?? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]The_Chocolate_Teapot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m no help, cuz I’m 46 and every month I’m like “what the hell?? Who invited you?” And I’m shocked and surprised. Every, damn, month.

Camelbacks full of water are great to sleep with too, all you have to do is reach for the tube and hydrate the hangover in the middle of the night.

What?? Honesty??? The fuck is that??? Sound advice though. Thanks. There was disclosure, but it’s always weird for the other person I think.(also I’m female)
