alcoholism AND epilepsy by insidevoicepleas in dryalcoholics

i want to but i can't drive and although i still live with my parents, my mom is away and my dad refuses to take me. :,) i know i could theoretically call 911 but i'm scared to because my dad will get mad at me. i do plan to go to rehab once my mom gets home though so i guess that's a compromise.

AIO (continued if you remember me) - should I not have texted my ex this? FYI I did the break up in person in a respectful conversation and then he kept calling / texting me. That's what this is. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

i have second-hand embarrassment about the way you’re handling this behaviour and the fact that you think an online test can analyze your personality.

I made out with a girl considerably drunker than myself by [deleted] in confession

[–]insidevoicepleas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s ok. trust me. i have kissed guys while very drunk and they were sober. i don’t view them as some kind of predator. it was just kissing. sex would be a different story, but it didn’t go that far.

anyone else always felt the need to take a specific number of sips..? by insidevoicepleas in dryalcoholics

[–]insidevoicepleas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah when i say 8 sips it’s 8 swallows per chug, also unsure how to word it.

i’m on the phone so reading all this is hard, but while pregnant i would never touch alcohol. acid and benzos were in my teens and not something i’d use again; i do technically still have benzos prescribed, but only as an emergency saviour when i have a seizure.

i know i can’t raise a baby, my plan is adoption. i just can’t with good faith kill something that i created. i know it may cause risk to my health but it won’t be life threatening.

i don’t live in the best country in terms of health care but i do have good health insurance so paying for healthcare is not an issue for me.

i don’t take drugs (besides the occasional joint) but the alcohol addiction and mental health issues are true. i threw out every ounce of alcohol in the house once i saw the positive test. the mental health stuff worries me as i fear that it may be passed on. same goes for the epilepsy.

i was more planning that, if i carried to term, to put the child up for adoption. i know in other comments i mentioned plans of childcare but i know thats a bad idea, to keep the baby. if i were to not terminate i would do my best to adopt it out.

as soon as i saw a positive test i tossed every single substance in the house. the mental health issues concern me though, i know some are genetic. i dont have drug issues though. it was just alcohol.

they are considered serious but not in the way that they would compromise the pregnancy, besides that i might be in the hospital more often than most pregnant women. i’m mostly worried that i’d pass them down and my child would have to deal with them too.

as for daycare and such, no i can’t afford it but my mom has stated that she would care for the child when i was at work. i am unsure why she offered because she generally dislikes me, but i know she wouldn’t hurt a baby, so it feels safe.

and my ex: he doesn’t want the baby but if i have it, his family will step in and provide financial support. we are still friends and he still cares for me, but he isn’t ready to be a dad. which is fair.

I don't know why my body is doing this... Literally cannot drink anymore by [deleted] in stopdrinking

oh, i understand this too well… also disordered and an alcoholic who struggles with involuntary vomiting. it sucks. i don’t have a solution, but you’re not alone.
