I know all too well the state of seemingly feeling non-inebriated after consumption of extremely large amounts of alcohol.
I've stopped drinking many times. I've gone through severe withdrawal many times. I've forgotten how severe those withdrawals were many times. I've gone back to alcohol many times. Stop. Start. Stop. More withdrawals. More forgetting how bad it was the last time. My INR blood-clotting level flying off the charts because of alcohol. Constantly thinking that just maybe, this day will be the day that alcohol does me in.
I drank for relief from physical pain because, for years, the medical community would not address the treatment of my pain.
Last week, a doctor finally prescribed a pain reliever for me that works to some extent. It doesn't work as well as alcohol does in relief of pain, but it helps. For now, the pain-relieving Rx knocks me out most of the time when I take it, but hopefully, my system will get used to it so I can function. At least the screaming meemies are no longer waiting for me when I awaken from slumber.
I've been off alcohol for a few weeks now. I'm praying that I don't return to it. I'm praying that my system gets used to the painkillers so I can function, and that I no longer need to return to alcohol for pain relief.
I've tried CBD and THC. They're no bueno for this guy, neither one.
I wish you good luck, if you so desire, in getting yourself away from alcohol. I wish you good luck, period, as I would hope that you'd wish good luck for me.
Here's where I usually end my posts with the toast: Cheers to you!
I think that in this case, I ought to let that little phrase go by the wayside, except that I already typed it out, didn't I?
I have pretty good idea having helped someone out of it. Only you can know what is under the hood though. Often it is to feel better as alcohol deadens pain.
Meh. It depends. If I haven't eaten anything and I have something that's "heavy" beverage-wise then I can't consume too much. If I am sipping or I've had a nice hearty meal then I'm good to go for a few rounds with my friends. But tbh I never "drink to the death. I'll cut off after three bevs (with water between drinks) in case someone else ends up drinking themselves into oblivion. I've always been the "designated walker/thinker" among my friends group.
An individual considered "alcoholic" is someone who is addicted to alcoholic beverages and, therefore, struggles to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages.
Though not long, I was high school English, Trigonometry & Physical Education (PE) Teacher.
That stint was cut short because I was chosen and appointed to be a Political Adviser for a Congressman, a Senator and their political party in the Philippines.
It sounds like you're reflecting on your relationship with alcohol. It's important to be mindful of how alcohol affects you and to consider seeking support if needed. Many people find that their tolerance can change over time, but it's crucial to prioritize health and well-being. If you’re comfortable, talking to a professional might provide valuable guidance. 🍃
