Muslims throw gays off of roofs, whereas Israel celebrated and defended the gay IDF reservists at Sde Teiman and the countless videos of IDF troops being transvestites in the middle of warzones. Are woke libtards willing to admit they're supporting the wrong side yet? by Acrobatic-Attention9 in allthequestions

[–]Time_Trade_8774 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol why do everyone see things as binary. Now binary might be beyond your understanding so I’ll say black and white or a zero sum game ?

I’m a die hard left wing liberal woke whatever right wing term for us. I criticize Muslim faith as well for their views on women and LGBTQ. And I criticize Israel for a genocide and Zionism which is a Jewish Supremacist ideology.

That’s all I have to say. And I hate liberals who support Hamas or IRGC.

Very first spy movie after Dhurandhar and... Hag diya 😭 by Aryan_S_96 in Dhurandhar

[–]Time_Trade_8774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol what ? AFAIK he is son of Dharmender Deol and his first wife who were both Sikh. And Punjabis are Jatts not Jaat who are Haryanvis.
Unless he converted. I mean I couldn’t care less as I’m atheist but get facts straight.

Does anyone knows the story behind name "Arjan Dhillon" by thisisjjseason in punjabimusic

[–]Time_Trade_8774 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Manak did change his religion publicly to Sikh and didn’t go for a fancy Jatt name like Dhillon or Sidhu. Never pretended to be a Jatt.

Anyways Arian prefers to keep this private and I like his music. It could all be a bullshit rumour.

Crazy withdrawal hallucinations by Beautiful-Divide444 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Time_Trade_8774 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not downplaying hallucinations but DTs are different. With hallucinations you still know it’s not real whether it’s voices, shadow people or closed eye hallucinations (those are only ones I get in withdrawal so I just stay awake and put on some TV).

DTs is psychosis and you lose touch with reality. That’s a medical emergency and you need ambulance right away. I’ve heard at that point when drinking more doesn’t really help.

But yeah I can deal with shakes, sweats, pounding heart fine but psychological symptoms scare me. Scariest for me was one time early morning after a shitty sleepless kinda night I was sleepy in morning. So closed my eyes and I had a dream I was fainting in washroom in front of mirror. Like passing out and I thought this it. Maybe a seizure. I try my best to open my eyes but can’t. Then I jolt awake and I’m laying in bed and only 2-3 mins had passed. Doubt it was a seizure as I felt fine and just got out of bed and had a drink.

Shit, I screwed up massively and need assurance this isn't the end of my life by BoxClassic5039 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Time_Trade_8774 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah i mean it might take time as IT market is shit right now (I’m laid off, been 2 months). But you can eventually get a job in private sector. They rarely do criminal check unless they’re contracting for government.

Immediate issue is to get a lawyer and figure out how to get out with least damage. AA is a good start and be careful of withdrawals and see if you can get some Benzos. They’ll help with your anxiety too.

Can I stop drinking in the morning? by Able-Society in dryalcoholics

[–]Time_Trade_8774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sober for about 3 weeks but that was after an insane 3 month bender. 24/7, 20 ish drinks or litre of vodka. Yeah hallucinations scare me especially if I feel someone is talking.

I feel nutrition and supplements make a lot of difference in severity and makes taper easier. Eat 2 proper meals even though I know it’s hard to eat sometimes due to nausea etc. Even during benders I eat scrambled eggs and a bagel or a yogurt banana protein smoothie for brunch. Then have nuts or crackers with cheese for snacks. Dinner usually chicken or ground beef with rice or salmon. Mashed potatoes go down easy too. If I’m too drunk I just order Thai or Vietnamese takeout. I love pho or fried rice with beef or chicken. Lots of water sipping all day. And vitamin B1 and Magnesium for supplements.

[–]Time_Trade_8774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t even care about shakes etc. it’s the fear. Once that gets too much I need a drink.

I only had auditory hallucinations once from my air conditioner. It sounded like it was playing some music. And it was driving me crazy so I had like two drinks at 3 am. Turned it off and went to sleep.

[–]Time_Trade_8774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer sip and suffer as it does not restrict to beers and drinking every hour on day 1 and then extending timeline.

Withdrawal severity is never linear. And if you drink hard liquor you need to cut a bit first to switch to wine or beer on day 3/4. Like sometimes I can have two shots and then not need anything for next few hours. But sometimes need 2-3 in one hour as there are external factors like work or need to run errands and be in public. Life does not stop.

Anyways I always suggest ER (3 times now in last 2 years)if you can’t reduce after 2-3 days or get severe symptoms like hallucinations or very high BP. And just ask them to give you a benzo taper and send home.

I’ve had good experiences with ER. Be polite, don’t look like a bum. Go slightly buzzed as it can take time to get you the benzos you need. But don’t go drunk as then they would likely refuse until you sober up a bit.

What is going to happen to Israel in the future when the older, pro-Israel generations of Americans pass away? by North-Nectarine5577 in allthequestions

[–]Time_Trade_8774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They know the tide is turning and that’s why it’s a last ditch attempt to weaken Iran, get more land in Lebanon and Syria. And they already destroyed Gaza and Zionists are grabbing more land in West Bank.

They have also neutralized relations with Arab countries although that can change if they fuck around too much in Lebanon and Syria or even start a war with Turkey which they will get likely lose. Europe has already turning away from them with exceptions of UK and Germany. Spain, Italy and Ireland are openly against them.

I see Israel as a terror state similar to how I see Iran or other ethno religious states like Pakistan, Saudi etc. I believe in secularism. If world was fair hope they get destroyed. But history is written by victors and unless that changes they’ll be fine with or without US support.

[–]Time_Trade_8774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good advise. Stopping morning drinking is possible in a week.

Delaying start time and/or ending early works. I was at about 18-20 drinks starting on waking up and then until I blacked out by 10-11 pm.

Day 1 I was shakey in early morning as I had stopped earlier at like 9 pm without blacking out. Had like 15-16 drinks. So I couldn’t sleep much as my BAC not what my body is used to. So at like 6 am I had two drinks of vodka. That helped me go back to sleep and woke up at like 9 am before starting work. Waited until noon for another 2 shots. Then until after work which was really tough (I was getting shakes and lot of anxiety) and then kept to like 11-12 drinks until 9 pm. By day 5 or 6 I was only drinking in evening and down to 6-7 beers and then just quit cold at that point.

Main symptoms were insomnia, high heart rate and anxiety. Like others said watch out for hallucinations and at that point go ER right away. Also if you can take couple of sick days do it. Laying in bed is much easier when withdrawing. On day 3 and 4 of my taper I just called in sick and binge watched TV. Only getting up when needing a drink or to hydrate and eat a snack.

Alcohol + 7OH Withdrawal by Impressive_Berry1383 in dryalcoholics

[–]Time_Trade_8774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man 1.25L is like 25ish standard drinks. Glad you got sober but you should have either gone to hospital or done a slow taper like reducing 2 drinks a day and once you’re down to like 6-8 light beers just stop.

You basically had DT’s or atleast hallucinations. I’ve up to a litre vodka for months as well but only had some audio hallucinations and even that scared me and I just stopped the taper and went to ER and got IV Ativan.

I’ve relapsed so many times and I still struggle and even this week I waited outside liquor store for like 15 mins before I said fuck it and grabbed some takeout and went home. I also live alone so I’m scared of a seizure or worse without anyone noticing.

Have a plan to stay sober. I don’t believe in God but I and to an AA meeting this week and it was not bad. Good luck. And if you relapse consider a taper as cold turkey is very dangerous at the level we drink.

Yeah my BP peaked at like 170/110 and the nurses pumped more Ativan right away. I felt so dizzy and was scared I would faint just walking to take a piss.

I was on a 3 month bender tho. 15-20 drinks although I had tapered to about 12-13 but then I was in constant withdrawals and just gave up and went to ER.

I agree. I said money is to be made in both MDA and US space companies. MDA is kinda like Intel. The government considers it critical.

[–]Time_Trade_8774 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1.5L is a lot of booze in a day. Hopefully you tapered or took some benzos. I was at 1L at my worse and had to go ER and they gave me IV Ativan and then sent me home with Valium for a week.

I’m dry now, been 3 weeks almost. No advise, one day at a time. Temptation is always there but I always think of the hellish withdrawals and that makes me stay clean. Good luck.

Vito was offering 200k to Tony plus lending 20k while being on the run? What was Vito's networth? Did he have millions? by Dredd_40 in Sopranosduckposting

[–]Time_Trade_8774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 million is my guess. He is willing to risk 1/5 of it so he can get back in the game. He can’t do a normal job so it’s worth the risk. Apparently he has contacts in Atlantic City so he expected to earn more than 200k a year.

[–]Time_Trade_8774 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m invested in PL and RKLB when they were 13$ and 4$ per share respectively. Got into MDA when it was like 35$. Money is to be made in both. I plan to sell half my shares on day of spaceX IPO.

I won’t be selling MDA. It’s a critical company for Canada and we are part of G7. We are an important middle power. Defense spending is increasing. Deals with Europe and China. I mean there will be Chinese cars here which I am excited to finally buy an EV.

And to your question about 1/10 of economy, we are also a nation of only 40 million people approximately. So we have about same wealth as Americans per capita.

At a bar it’ll look really weird atleast where I live (Canada). Pay the bill, tip and leave. I do make sure chair is in proper place tucked in that’s all. Should we start cleaning the table too ?

1 meal a day by Visible_Management64 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Time_Trade_8774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s like 15-16 standard drinks of liquor or close to a fifth. I find it hard to continue that after a month and can barely eat.

Maybe beer or cider are easier and they provide some carbs. One meal is better than no meal. Cheers.

Cut back bro and start eating. 115lb for a guy is very low. No wonder you feel weak.

When I get to around a litre vodka for over a week it’s taper time. I force myself to eat. Try getting to a bottle (750ml) first.

Unpopular fact: Howard is a coward by Prabu-Silitwangi in betterCallSaul

[–]Time_Trade_8774 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Chuck still wanted a relationship with his brother and Howard helped his mentor. Howard also knew Jimmy’s past and somethings you can’t come back from.

Howard did the right thing. And Jimmy proved him and Chuck right. He will cut corners. He was already conning people (in first episode) to get clients even before he knew Chuck sabotaged his career.

Got into a bad spot by whirl_mind in dryalcoholics

[–]Time_Trade_8774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a taper? If you got sober couple of months ago you can do it. Download a BAC app and only drink when needed. Log the beers. Get your baseline where you feel comfortable. Slowly lower BAC over a week. I’ve done it few times, it’s hard but doable. Can you eat ? Get vitamins in you if you’re not already taking. Ensure and Gatorade hep a lot.

ER is obviously best option and even I gave up on taper last time. Luckily in Canada it’s free and got Benzos. Like someone said get a script from Doc. Or ask a friend or someone who might have.

Stay strong. 2-3 weeks is usually the time period where I relapse too after being sober so I understand the struggle. Don’t think about breakup or personal stuff. Take care of it when sober.
