Wishing you continued strength thru the holidays and into the new year.
You’re opening up yourself to all that is good and bad these days with your sobriety. Embrace it for what it is. :thumb: |
Sorry I called you trashed the other night

Make sure you associate with persons who don't rely on alcohol for "fun", Mr. Simply Red. (There are a lot of them out there.)
Clear thinking isn't all it's cracked up to be, but it beats the alternative. FAX |

Did you have any withdraws?
I went hard as **** Saturday (spoke to you on the phone lol) havent drank since then but I did some googling for my dry January and it says if you drink 15 drinks or more a week and quit cold turkey you can have seizures wtf. This freaks me the **** out. I dont need medical help or rehab as I feel I can quit when I need to but reading about these risks scares the **** out of me. |

I never had a seizure abruptly stopping, though I did witness my father seize from withdrawal. He was also 50-51 at the time and had YEARS of daily drinking. You should be fine, though if you're still concerned you could try tapering it down over the next couple of weeks? |
Quote:
I'd bet the majority of this board and half the country has about 15 drinks a week. Seems like a low standard. |

seriously though, if im not 'medicated' i cannot sleep thru the night with the aches. /breaks comment good on ya SR for being self aware. you are a better man than i |

Feel better. My dad was an is still an alcoholic. He is in pretty bad shape. I know I am not a "friend", but understand this well. |
Quote:
I know it hits family members harder than anyone knows and that is what is so damaging that the alcoholic has blinders too but it's not fair game because alcohol poisons the mind and soul. Hang in there bud. |

I know we are rival franchises, but I will be supportive of anyone who has demons or personal struggles. OP is definitely in a good place with all of you. |

I actually work in a mental hospital lol. I can spot a psycho you don't seem like a psycho but mental health has many personalities and many forms of it takes it's toll on a person psych. At least there is help and support I'm proud of you for talking about it that helps others and by helping others you in return help yourself. That is a great gift. |
Keep it up SR, You've got a lot of people here pulling for you and I'm one of them.

Getting away from her was the greatest thing I've done in the last 5 years. The crazy bitch even sent me a fake obituary from the Washington Post in an email that she pretended came from her ex-husband. :eek: |

They are NOT the same.... I drink 5-7 days a week but I haven't been drunk in a very long time. I drink with my meal and it's usually one beer or two, a few glasses of wine and sometimes an after dinner drink. It's usually over the course of 1 1/2 hours or two. I don't come home and pound a bottle of vodka or a case of beer or drink to get drunk. Just not worth the feeling at 56. |

Busted or not it's not an easy task to stay clean and sober for an addict or drunk. Getting sober is one thing but to stay sober over a period of time is something you can't take credit away from a guy. |

Meh, I made it from Aug 18th until Thanksgiving. Evenings are just too boring without a few beers. I don't drink during the day,I just wait until I'm done with all responsibilities and it's time to relax, I'll put in another effort after we win the SB. Hope that comes this season.

I did a thirty day detox last January that my friend recommended. No dairy, soy, gluten, corn, sugar, coffee or ALCOHOL.
I actually loved it. The biggest problem for sure was boredom but man I got so much done. And lost 27 pounds in 30 days. Kept it off, too. Doing it again this year, just a great way to start things off. |
Yep, it's time to rape Cooper's asshole again.

Great Job!
I had an opioid addiction; Hydrocodone....nothing illegal, all prescribed for years. The day came when I moved and changed Doctors. New doc obviously wouldn’t provide so I quit cold turkey...no choice. GOD I WAS AN ASSHOLE FOR 3 weeks!! I am better for it. Never even missed it. DAMN MY BACK IS KILLING ME NOW!!

Mr. Simply Red is busy with many exciting endeavors, but I saw your inquiry and spoke with him moments ago.
He's doing well, and says "thank you" for asking. |
Alcohol is part of my life: I drink a Martini or wine with dinner and sometimes an after dinner drink but I don't get drunk; I like to drink beers with the guys after golf; I'll drink 3-4 Oban's or Macallan while smoking 2 cigars over the course of 2-3 hours.
I don't just drink alcohol on it's own just to get drunk or a buzz and I haven't gone to a nightclub in 15-20 years where you do only drink. Those days are over..... |
I took my final pain pill 12/13 and went the next day to drop off the rest of them at the local police station (there's a drop box specifically for narcotics).
****, man, opioid withdrawal sucks.. I'm no longer nauseous or having diarrhea, but at what point does the muscle/joint pain cease? When I've googled opioid withdrawal it says 5-7 days. I'm on day 13 and it hasn't relented at all |
Quote:
And just remember - our defense hasn’t given up more than 3pts in a game since 12/13. If that’s possible, virtually anything is. You can do it! |

Thanks bro. Now if you'd also send that MVP jacket... :) |

What were you taking/how much daily? |
I don't want to talk about it publicly, but I am starting something tomorrow that will require a lot of positive energy... Hope you all continue down your intended paths.
