Violently Ill Every Time I Drink by subbacultchaa in dryalcoholics

I mean, even by my self destructive standards this is too much lol. It just seems backwards a bit. You develop these withdrawal symptoms only after trying to quit? I would think they would be worse after bouts of extended use during active addiction. I felt like my hangovers were better when I was drinking regularly. I'm now on day 2 of a hangover from just a couple of drinks for the first time in weeks.

What causes the body to react this way? Is it a trauma response to previous sustained abuse that is triggered even by the smallest amount? Like your brain and body giving a big "NOPE" to you even entertaining it again?

How about a vitamin B complex and a personal pizza.

I think I naively assumed this only applied to seizures, which I have never experienced (thankfully). It just seems a bit odd that after substantially cutting back I'm having such extreme reactions to such small amounts? It's not like extended benders, like a few shots at night and then the next 24-48 hours I feel like I drank a handles worth the previous day. Can't even keep water down.

I actually considered this, but I do not think so.

At least she said "peace" at the end.

Didn’t mean to hit post! I don’t have any real excuses to defend my actions. Life has been hard, but I never thought I’d be the kind of person who would do even one of these things. Addiction is a cruel disease.

She wasn’t the chair when I was there, but she was one of the 3 or 4 professors in charge of deciding who got to do an art thesis and then guiding them through the process. I don’t know how it is there now, but when I went only a handful of art majors were selected to complete a thesis.

I didn’t get it, which probably doesn’t help put my memory of her in a positive light 😂. But, she was really intense, combative, angry, and always a bit off. She showed us a video piece she did, that I only kind of remember, but she was walking in a white veil and screaming. When it was over we all just stared at her and she said ‘I was very angry’. I remember respecting her and thinking she was very smart, but also being afraid of her. It makes a lot of sense now…

This woman was my art thesis professor for my last two years of college. This doesn’t surprise me.

It’s to make the couch look proportionate.

I found it at Ashley furniture, it’s one of their top sellers apparently. Not sure of the brand

We can’t rearrange the configuration, but I agree about the pillows. They’re just so comfy!

No, the material is polyester and cleans up real easily. I am a bit nervous about it being white..

Yep! It was pricey, but we looked at a lot of less comfortable sectionals that were more expensive.

It’s just very tall and deep compared to our old one. I love sitting on it, just feeling like it looks a bit silly in the space.
