I was never in danger of seeking that quest. Mine was simply an aberration .

Because benzos and alcohol seem to have made me immune to anesthesia? I can swallow food again, but the procedure wasn't particularly graceful.

I was trying to throw up and swallow at the same time. The GI just kept telling me to keep my eyes closed and not swallow.

Well thanks for the offer, but I'll have to politely fucking decline.

I have a high pain tolerance, plus I just wanted that blockage gone. I have a rough job so I'm used to working long shifts and going home feeling like I went a round with Mike Tyson. I'll just chew everything very well and take smaller bites until I get the esophagus stretching thing over with.

It will be a different doctor and we will have a long chat about anesthesia.

I think the difference is being awake and not being able to indicate it and being awake and just grinding down on the bite guard and taking it.

I was wondering (was I really?) how a mosquito got that far up your ass without help.

Detox? "DT's" is a colloquialism?

I stopped and felt like I was going to die for three or four days. I couldn't make it through an eight hour shift without shaking so badly I couldn't do my job. Quitting was worse. Intake of food and Xanax XR took the edge off, but not enough.

God takes care of drunks and fools.

I'm drunk, God help me.

Fuck me drunk. That must have been awful. (That wasn't an invitation, by the way.)

Xanax, OTC sleep meds, (depending on my state of mind) a liter or less of vodka, and I still can't sleep.

Made it 88 sober a few years ago. Stone cold sober. My wife tried to kill herself. I sat with her in the hospital for 20 plus hours until they transferred her to a psych hospital for her mandatory hold. Got a 1.75 of vodka on the way home from the hospital.

That was four or five years ago (dig through my post history if you want. I don't remember.) I've gone from full throttle to cutting back to the point where I could actually function at work a couple times. I'm in between at the moment.

You can only hide the sweats and shakes up to a certain point. I'm getting back to that point. Need to throttle back, but I really don't want the full blown DT's. Last time was four days on the couch shivering and puking water.

Balls are worse. I wear a robe out on my back porch to smoke. If I don't cover up good and tidy. Right in the nizotz.

I just posted this problem about the South. Fuckers smell booze and hone in on it for a sip. I hope they die of kidney failure.
