I decided to stop drinking today, even red wine in moderation 100ml - 150ml. Alcohol makes me depressed the next day and messes up my sleep. It also makes coffee not work as well. And I'm scared that I'll become alcoholic like my grandparents :(
quit drinking cold turkey 3 days ago, and it was hell. I'm mostly over the shakes. I'm starting to sleep a few hours a day, but the dehydration has been amazing. The first day I really couldn't drink anything. my body was definitely telling me no more booze, but I couldn't even hold down water. the next day I've been drinking water non-stop. even though it was painful. then I graduated to sports drinks, and I'm taking a b complex and a multi- V as well. still I cannot rehydrate. tips? anyone?
@ :20 anyone else notice he's a gyno!!?!!!if i can say my father taught me anything in life,it was to "NEVER BE A QUITTER!!!DO WHAT YOUR GOOD AT!!".....hahahaaaaa after all these years..I'M GOOD AT DRINKIN BEERS DAD!!!
alcohol got me through my Uni degree of medical physics. living in hospital accomodation months on end in sollitary, for three years. I have just got a 2:1. thank you alcohol.
If you start drinking and can't stop then your an alcoholic! None of my family are alcoholics and I am! I have a great relationship with my family and not with my prescription crazed doctor! I have 5.5 years sober! ;-)

I'm sorry to hear if anyone is struggling with drug addictions of any type. If you want help, and can't find help, or if the help you seek isn't helping you. Try what I have done. Accepted Jesus as Lord in your life. ask him to help you with your addiction, and make a vow to him that you will live for him. If you sincerely desire to stop your addiction then God will deliver you from that stronghold in your life.

problems and only feel good (only for a short time though) by taking it out on other people.Bullies are damaged themselves so how are YOU a loser ?.Everyone gets relationship problems and break with girlfriends ; yeah it sucks for everyone,but you just have to take risks and start again, just by first making FRIENDS with girls to start,with no pressure (only when and if you want to) and things good often happen that way ; be yourself and you'll be fine, i'm sure of it !
Ya know.....whatz crazy is that I go numb from all the resentment, depression and guilt. So when I deal with people, I don't have the energy to stand up to their bull crap. Then, when I finally snap out of it, I remember all their disrespect and it forms new resentments. Nowadays I just spend my time alone, away from people trying to figure out do I: Forgive them, confront them, or whatever. What do I do?
@RashawnDaDon What makes them better than you, that you have to own the crap they dished out? I say confront them; not attack them, but confront them. Tell them the facts (what they did), and tell them how it affected you (how it made you feel). Let them own it. And whenever you start feeling 'less than", or like someone is better than you, just picture them sitting on the toilet, and that will put everything in perspective :)
NO ONE can sort out ALL their problems at once, overnight like magic. When you feel like drinking, tell yourself 'i'll have one tomorrow night' and really believe you will. When you get there,say the same thing 'Oh, i'll have one tomorrow night' etc etc.Thats one way of staying stopped. Then,eat healthy foods ,get lots of exercise and THAT in itself will make you feel better.Ignore the shit that assholes have said to cos trust me, most if not all of it has been said to you cos THEY have....
..WILL make you happier if they are the things that you LIKE doing and get pleasure from.But alcohol really is bad for anyone who feels down about themselves as you do because it is a DEPRESSANT, fact.Thats a known medical fact, not an opinion so it can depress anyone once its effects wear off so dont use it.That sounds easy but just stop it for a day at a time and then if you feel better for it, thats ONE of your bad things sorted out ; you can sort all your issues out literally 'One at a time'
Based on those OTHER people making you THINK you are and you feeling you are because things that have gone wrong for you so far have made you think you are this 'loser' thing which does NOT sum your life up at all.What you ARE right about is saying 'something else will go wrong', because for EVERYONE things OFTEN go wrong ,but people who do lots of things have lots of things go RIGHT as well. Thing is,you are still VERY young and you can have a great life ahead of you ; YOU can do things that..
@RashawnDaDon Well, you're wrong about some things and right about one. First, there is hardly any such thing as a 'loser' ; 'other' people have invented the use of that term to label others they dont like in a generalised, glib and unjustified way ; it's mostly irrational cos when one examines details about somebody closely,it's not the case at all because there are so many things about the person for them to be just summed up as 'loser'. THEN, someone like you can think THEMSELVES as loser....
....when youre not, but it sounds like you have low self esteem about your self and feel frustrated about one or more things in your life.But you werent BORN that way ; it has come from many layers of bad experiences or disappointments but though life often isnt easy if you have,you can turn things around by seeing and telling yourself any good things about yourself and what strengths you have. Alcohol is very bad to use as a crutch in life ; it makes folk depressed and worse and ruins your body
@RashawnDaDon But 1, youre NOT 'crazy' as one part of being crazy, or Psychotic, is not knowing you are ; mostly anyone who says they are that are not ; 2, i am NOT better than ANYONE ; as you said, you thought the same things as i wrote although i just wrote them on here. Many as well as you probably thought it as well,but at least you thought some things that were intelligent and insightful, whereas many people wouldnt have thought things like that at all. So you TELL yourself youre crap....
One cant really cure a person who is an alcoholic by stopping them drinking ; thats why the easy thing is to stop drinking ; the hardest is to STAY stopped. This is because once you take the alcohol away, the whole person or personality has to be addressed to move towards putting them right ; it might never be fully achieved, but one has to get to the deeper problems / insecurities to help them to not run away from life and feel more secure and with themselves
Alcoholism does not exist really, nor does an 'addictive personality' ; alcoholism DOES exist but the addiction is not to the alcohol per se, it comes from an unhappiness and an inability to face life & issues or truths and reality ; any alcoholic is emotionally unstable and unhappy ; the drugs are just used to numb themselves against emotional sensation
As hard as it is to quit an addiction, it is still possible to stop drinking. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't quit. Believe in yourself. Believe that you can.
I do not care what people decide to say alcoholism is. All I say is that if you are an alcoholic you just have very low will power. THAT is what you need to work on.
i hung around positive people that never drank ever in their life people with goals and a future, i saw their happy lifestyle and it attracted me too want to be happy too, so i quit cold turkey as to say, but i used monster energy to keep me from a downer mariettalemay36
I prefer the term chronic relapsing condition to disease regarding alcoholism. To the person below who said it's simple to just stop drinking did you know that "cold turkey" withdrawal from alcohol is actually life threatening so anyone who is drink dependent and wants to stop should always seek professional help.
Alcoholism is not a disease. It is a choice. Tell someone with cancer that alcohlism is a disease and if they still have the strength they will smack the shit out you
WHat is alcoholism??? It's a figment of the imagination!!! If someone is suffering from alcohol abuse or alcohol dependency they can just stop fucking drinking. It's rather simple when you think about it.
You MAY have an "uncontrollable desire to drink", but it's just a desire. It will lessen in time. But don't nuthin' MAKE you get the money, go to the store, buy the booze, open the bottle, and pour it down your throat..............
ive been going to AA for awhile now, still cant say i like the cult-like mentality but its better than drinking. and it does cause impotence, a guy in one of my meetings had the balls to say that he became impotent at 34 from drinking so much.
I did an interview with author Dr Simon Casey who specializes in helping people with addictions, mental illness and relationships. You can listen to it for free at my youtube channel. I hope this helps people out there that need information and support.
I don`t know how anyone in the name of god, anyone in their right mind can stay straight in this day and age when absolute unmitigated torture is streaming trhough the airwaves like Lady Ga Ga. To me it`s a choice of "Blow my brains out or drink or resume the sonic torture"...To me drinking will alway win.
after long years of drinking things tend to come to the surface and u become more aware of how bad it really is you find that you cant cope with the simple things, i use to drink if i needed to travel long distances if i didnt i would get anixety, the best method is to cut it out completly, drink water everyday and take multivitimins and begin to face ur fear, try it for a month, ur anixety will go, along with depression, its time to take life by the horns and deal with the fear its escapism
most people drink to supress issues that they have with dealing with life in general, conciously u wont be aware of this, when u go out at night and drink, ask urself why u are really drinking? yeah it might be for fun but ur really trying to escape from what you percieve as a threat, socialising, if u take it one step further you may find that you use drink to avoid other areas in ur life that subconciously u arent even aware of u need to discover what they are drinking is a hook
I'm an EXTREME intravert, I have been my whole life.
Kids started making fun of me in high school. I became angry, and one night they invited me to a party, just to see if alcohol could change me. And it did, temporarily. I felt more alive, and they seemed to like me when I was drunk.
Now, I drink every day. Around the clock, except when I have to work. But intraverted alcoholics.......
Pleiadians give me something to belive in i dont belive in God the human god he never helped me in anyway even i tried beliving in him and in jesus, pleiadians on the other hand gives me happiness and a higher understanding that its wrong to drink and smoke and use drugs. bye good luck everyone
im alcoholic also and everytime i get sick i tell my self i will never drink again, the reason i continue is because i dont have a life really its and emthy life with no friends and im bored with my life and everything but it will kill me if i start again today im sure of that aware of that also the drugs and ciggerets are bad
i started very young around 13 and its been almost 25 years of boozing now, or 26 years but i also did drugs all drugs there are and smoked since i was 11, my body cant take it anylonger i get very very sick and if i dont stop i will die soon pleiadians can help you like they helped me GOOD LUCK
i don't like AA because they tell you it's a disease when it's NOT a disease, and try to turn you over to god and cristianity when I don't believe in god, their is no proof of him it's just silly how so many people are religious.
Alcoholism is not a disease - it is substance abuse. How can doctors lie so flagrantly, or are they so wrapped up in political correctness that they can't recognise a plain old drunken bum when they see one The idea is absurd, and seems to me to be designed to make the habit seem less disgraceful - which t is. If you are an alcoholic, just stop being one... AND DON'T (for the love of mercy) get involved with the AA, which is nothing short of a religious cult. Join a secular support group.
Alcoholism cost me a good job, friends, family, etc. I was abusive to my ex, and now she's gone. I will never find someone like her to put up with my bullshit. I should seek help, but i'm too much of an irresponsible bastard to do that.
Its hard to stop drinking only reason I stopped is cause I had a near death experience that really made me realize God isn't going to keep bringing me back If I don't stop, I haven't had a drink in 2 weeks and I don't even want to smell the Jim Beam bottle thats still half full.
Good for you InfidelAntichristian! I can't stop. My ex-girlfriend tried to get me to go to AA so many times. I promised her that I would, but I never went. That's what we alcoholics do best; break promises and hurt our loved ones. I even caused my girlfriend to lose two babies. I'm an embarrassment to my family too. I'd rather blame my woes on someone else than to be a man and step up to the plate. I'm glad you are better than me!
I drank alot at college this year, I didint think anything of it. We drank beer with every meal. All the sudden my tollerence shot up and the past couple of months ive found myself killing a 5th of vodka a day. That started to loose potency so I switched to gin, a 5th of gin lasted me 3 days. Now it only lasts 2. I know I have a real problem. I jones now, if I dont have a drink every 6 hours it hurts. I don't have insurence and really I can't go to my parents about it. How do I safely quit boos?
Where did this guy get his degree? At ITT Tech? Alcoholism is NOT a disease, because the malady is being introduced by the individual.
I know there are a lot of people out there who have seen friends and family hurt themselves and others because of their condition. But addiction and disease are two very different fucking things.
What pisses me off is that he KNOWS it's not a disease.
Abusing alcohol/drugs may cause the body to reach a point where it becomes reliant on the alcohol/drug to function. Once removed severe withdrawl symptoms develope. At that point you have a diseased body.
I get what you're saying. The honeymoon period before you cross over to "Addictland" is not disease.
Heart disease and cancers are also "maladies introduced by the individual" through diet and lifestyle choices .
When the body has been damaged by consistent abuse disease shines through.
You can probably guess I'm not a doctor, so I won't impersonate one. And I do know that "alcoholism" does fit the AMA's critera for a disease.
I also know that sugar, ciggerett, and caffine addictions also fit the critera but are not considered diseases because they do not lead to deviant behaviors and withdraw symptoms are not as severe.
Withdraw symptoms occur whenever the body must go without a substance it has grown chemically dependent on. The AMA has, with no explanation, decided that only powerful withdraws associated with powerful addictions to only certain drugs, and excluding all foods, are considered diseases.
Compulsive eating is considered a behavioral problem, even though it causes health problems and can kill you.
The only treatments that have ever been prescribed for "alcoholism" are programs designed to promote changes in behavior. This is because the onset of symptoms stems from the behavior of the individual and not a failure in the body. People with heart disease and cancer only experience symptoms after they have the disease and only experience a decrease in symptoms after treatment.
With alcoholism, symptoms only persist while alcohol remains in the body. Dependency and withdraw are not diseases.
Diseases are diagnosed by their symptoms. If not drinking causes severe withdrawal symptoms then the body is diseased by alcohol.
Long term use causes damage to organ systems (ie: liver, heart, brain...).Even with treatment an alcoholic only experiences a decrease in symptoms. They are never cured.
Some cancers and heart disease are behavior diseases. Smoking can cause cancer. Poor diet and exercise choices can lead to heart disease and cancer. Behavior change is key.
I can't believe how Americans just believe ANYTHING the TV tells them. They call alcoholism a disease, and everyone starts calling it one. It is absurd. I can assure you (and trust me, I'm a doctor) that no virus, bacterium, or fungus has ever been detected in alcoholic patients, and no "gene" ; but their are certainly signs of psychological inducements from familial habits that are learned from a young age, and encouraged by the social environment. It is a habit, not a disease.
I thought you might be interested in knowing the definition of disease I am talking about: "a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment."
If your body is made sick by something you did or didn't do to yourself then it can become diseased.
@thewritepassion it really isn't a disease, it's a dipletion in saratonine or however you spell it. It's not a disease, that's just an excuse. That's the number 1 thing I hate alcoholics saying. You say your an alcoholic and they say it's a disease, I can't help it... Well then stop fucking drinking! It's called self contol and they need to practice it. Stop making excuses.
I don't think alcoholism is genetic. I think that if you live in a family of drinkers, then you probably aren't aware that there are people who don't drink the way your family does. By the same token, if you come from a family of nondrinkers, then it's easy to reject that perspective as "boring" or "unsophisticated".
Yes, I have a propensity to drink too much, and I choose not to drink at all. But it took awhile to get to this point. I was lucky enough to have survived the experiment.
Eh I dont know, my dad drank every night without exception just like his dad, and his dad before that. He died when I was young but I have the same addicting personality even growing up without it.
I believe alcoholism is actually a multi factoral problem. Some people drink cause they feel insecure. Some people do it cause they've been abused and want to kill the pain of their trauma. Some people do it because they are predispoed to a lifestyle which teaches them that in order to have fun you have to be hedonistic and that is the only way to live.
Thats pretty accurate, jebus. I'mk a functioning alcholic. I do it because I get bored easily and need to feel different, life is mundane. Alcoholism is also in my genes. I was mildly abused and I'm hedonistic. Not sure if this pertains to others as much but your theory is certainly true in my case. It's a multitude of factors.
People should have the right to put whatever chemicals they want into their bodies. The US constitution stated so, but the government changed it. I dont like drug abuse. It's ok to drink in moderation without the intention of getting drunk. Whats wrong with having a glass of wine with dinner?
cannabis is a much better alternative than alcohol. fact. if you smoke, then moderation is the key. too much of anything is unhealthy, but cannabis is ALOT safer than alcohol when used heavily. if you dont agree, do your research and prove me wrong. good day to all.
Its a disease social/physical I am one and have been since i was 19 and now 27. So already so long for my age. Please help me!! British citizen that needs treatment for alcoholism.
How absurd is it to say one drug is safer than another? It's like admitting the 'safer' drug is still bad for you. I wasted 10 good years smoking pot every day. It didn't kill me, but I could have done so much more in that time.
If you drive drunk-- ever-- you may be an alcoholic. Drunk drivers kill innocent people. Never drive drunk.
Drugs are very lethal if abused but what really intrigues me is that marijuana is the safest and one of the most beneficial herbs that exist yet alcohol and tobacco remain legal and marijuana illegal despite combine 500,000 alcohol and tobacco related deaths in the USA alone. You would have to smoke your body weight in marijuana to OD on it and that is impossible because by the time you got finished with your second pound the first pound would have already wore off and you would fall asleep.
THC is also neuroprotective and HU-210 a synthetic cannbinoid actually promotes neurogenesis in the hippocampus the part of the brain responsible for formation of long-term memory.
And alcohol is just...well FUBAR. Basically almost any drug is safer than alcolol.
general medical summary, Stress, anxiety and emotional pain are so subjective though. I know of recovering alcoholics that drank when the day could not seem any more better than it could, yet all it took was that suble mental twist that turns sane to insane idea of taking that first drink.But in my opinion what really makes alcoholism such a baffling illness is that even when an alcoholic is stone cold sober they cannot resist that first drink.
Alcoholism and hypoglycemia are closely linked. The powers that be are for the most part ignorant of this or there is a position where it is more beneficial for them to ignore what is obvious.
Alcoholism, for me, isn't a disease. I have a choice whether or not I'm going to drink, people with cancer don't have a choice, I'm sure the guy with HIV can understand. A liter of 103proof bourbon a nite was needed to function, with beers and weed, and whatever else was on the buffet. Now I have over 7 months, and yeah AA helped. But I had to realize that my life is gonna keep going, do I wanna waste it fucked up 24/7, or do I want to make it meaningful to the only one that matters, ME!!!
Drinking is one thing but what your own body can stand is another! One may tolerate more alcohol than another and you may be in trouble because you cannot tolerate more alcohol! UNDERSTAND?
Alcoholism is a disease and what pisses me off is that the governmenet sells alcohol freely and is legal only if you are of age! If you have alcoholism in your family and start buying it, chances are you will become an alcoholic! I am going to die from Alcohol related liver failure!
Good thing I don't drink. I can tell how they react.

I prefer the term chronic relapsing condition to disease regarding alcoholism. To the person below who said it's simple to just stop drinking did you know that "cold turkey" withdrawal from alcohol is actually life threatening so anyone who is drink dependent and wants to stop should always seek professional help.

after long years of drinking things tend to come to the surface and u become more aware of how bad it really is you find that you cant cope with the simple things, i use to drink if i needed to travel long distances if i didnt i would get anixety, the best method is to cut it out completly, drink water everyday and take multivitimins and begin to face ur fear, try it for a month, ur anixety will go, along with depression, its time to take life by the horns and deal with the fear its escapism

My form of alcoholism is sort of dangerous.
I'm an EXTREME intravert, I have been my whole life.
Kids started making fun of me in high school. I became angry, and one night they invited me to a party, just to see if alcohol could change me. And it did, temporarily. I felt more alive, and they seemed to like me when I was drunk.
Now, I drink every day. Around the clock, except when I have to work. But intraverted alcoholics.......

Alcoholism is not a disease - it is substance abuse. How can doctors lie so flagrantly, or are they so wrapped up in political correctness that they can't recognise a plain old drunken bum when they see one The idea is absurd, and seems to me to be designed to make the habit seem less disgraceful - which t is. If you are an alcoholic, just stop being one... AND DON'T (for the love of mercy) get involved with the AA, which is nothing short of a religious cult. Join a secular support group.

All the sudden my tollerence shot up and the past couple of months ive found myself killing a 5th of vodka a day. That started to loose potency so I switched to gin, a 5th of gin lasted me 3 days. Now it only lasts 2. I know I have a real problem. I jones now, if I dont have a drink every 6 hours it hurts. I don't have insurence and really I can't go to my parents about it.

Where did this guy get his degree? At ITT Tech? Alcoholism is NOT a disease, because the malady is being introduced by the individual.
I know there are a lot of people out there who have seen friends and family hurt themselves and others because of their condition. But addiction and disease are two very different fucking things.
What pisses me off is that he KNOWS it's not a disease.
VirtuesPenumbra 2 years ago
Abusing alcohol/drugs may cause the body to reach a point where it becomes reliant on the alcohol/drug to function. Once removed severe withdrawl symptoms develope. At that point you have a diseased body.
I get what you're saying. The honeymoon period before you cross over to "Addictland" is not disease.
Heart disease and cancers are also "maladies introduced by the individual" through diet and lifestyle choices .
When the body has been damaged by consistent abuse disease shines through.
thewritepassion 2 years ago
You can probably guess I'm not a doctor, so I won't impersonate one. And I do know that "alcoholism" does fit the AMA's critera for a disease.
I also know that sugar, ciggerett, and caffine addictions also fit the critera but are not considered diseases because they do not lead to deviant behaviors and withdraw symptoms are not as severe.
CONTINUED IN NEXT POST
VirtuesPenumbra 2 years ago
Withdraw symptoms occur whenever the body must go without a substance it has grown chemically dependent on. The AMA has, with no explanation, decided that only powerful withdraws associated with powerful addictions to only certain drugs, and excluding all foods, are considered diseases.
Compulsive eating is considered a behavioral problem, even though it causes health problems and can kill you.
CONCLUDED IN FINAL POST. SORRY FOR LENGTHY REPLY
VirtuesPenumbra 2 years ago
The only treatments that have ever been prescribed for "alcoholism" are programs designed to promote changes in behavior. This is because the onset of symptoms stems from the behavior of the individual and not a failure in the body. People with heart disease and cancer only experience symptoms after they have the disease and only experience a decrease in symptoms after treatment.
With alcoholism, symptoms only persist while alcohol remains in the body. Dependency and withdraw are not diseases.
VirtuesPenumbra 2 years ago
@VirtuesPenumbra
Diseases are diagnosed by their symptoms. If not drinking causes severe withdrawal symptoms then the body is diseased by alcohol.
Long term use causes damage to organ systems (ie: liver, heart, brain...).Even with treatment an alcoholic only experiences a decrease in symptoms. They are never cured.
Some cancers and heart disease are behavior diseases. Smoking can cause cancer. Poor diet and exercise choices can lead to heart disease and cancer. Behavior change is key.

I can't believe how Americans just believe ANYTHING the TV tells them. They call alcoholism a disease, and everyone starts calling it one. It is absurd. I can assure you (and trust me, I'm a doctor) that no virus, bacterium, or fungus has ever been detected in alcoholic patients, and no "gene" ; but their are certainly signs of psychological inducements from familial habits that are learned from a young age, and encouraged by the social environment. It is a habit, not a disease.

I thought you might be interested in knowing the definition of disease I am talking about: "a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment."
If your body is made sick by something you did or didn't do to yourself then it can become diseased.

@thewritepassion it really isn't a disease, it's a dipletion in saratonine or however you spell it. It's not a disease, that's just an excuse. That's the number 1 thing I hate alcoholics saying.

I don't think alcoholism is genetic. I think that if you live in a family of drinkers, then you probably aren't aware that there are people who don't drink the way your family does. By the same token, if you come from a family of nondrinkers, then it's easy to reject that perspective as "boring" or "unsophisticated".
Yes, I have a propensity to drink too much, and I choose not to drink at all. But it took awhile to get to this point. I was lucky enough to have survived the experiment.

I believe alcoholism is actually a multi factoral problem. Some people drink cause they feel insecure. Some people do it cause they've been abused and want to kill the pain of their trauma. Some people do it because they are predispoed to a lifestyle which teaches them that in order to have fun you have to be hedonistic and that is the only way to live.
jebus0000000 2 years ago
Thats pretty accurate, jebus. I'mk a functioning alcholic. I do it because I get bored easily and need to feel different, life is mundane. Alcoholism is also in my genes. I was mildly abused and I'm hedonistic. Not sure if this pertains to others as much but your theory is certainly true in my case. It's a multitude of factors.

Drugs are very lethal if abused but what really intrigues me is that marijuana is the safest and one of the most beneficial herbs that exist yet alcohol and tobacco remain legal and marijuana illegal despite combine 500,000 alcohol and tobacco related deaths in the USA alone. You would have to smoke your body weight in marijuana to OD on it and that is impossible because by the time you got finished with your second pound the first pound would have already wore off and you would fall asleep.

general medical summary, Stress, anxiety and emotional pain are so subjective though. I know of recovering alcoholics that drank when the day could not seem any more better than it could, yet all it took was that suble mental twist that turns sane to insane idea of taking that first drink.But in my opinion what really makes alcoholism such a baffling illness is that even when an alcoholic is stone cold sober they cannot resist that first drink.
