Red, Earlier this month, things just weren't right. I was tired all the time. Then I got dizzy spells. Had a few at work and they told me to go to the ER. Turns out my Blood Pressure meds were too high and a bad mix...I was dehydrated so bad I had kidney problems...and heart issues. Long story short I have 7 blockages in my arteries...40% up to the two 70% and one 75% I am too far gone to be eligible for stints. IF I don't reverse the blockage, the only way is bypass. Eating bad, smoking and drinking like a fish all contributed to this.
I haven't smoked since the 3rd, nor drank. I am on a heart healthy diet. You are making a great decision unless you want to be 58, in a hospital for 7 days and wondering if you're gonna have to have your chest opened. I am dealing with withdrawal of nicotine AND alcohol. But I sure don't want my chest cracked open. When they asked me how much I drank, I said, "About a gallon a week." Of what they asked. "Tequila". Let's you and me live a lot longer and fight the good fight. I am here if you want an ear. I will be going through the same things you will. Hell, I already am. But let's do it and live a lot longer! |

burt, we could be CPs poster dudes on the consequences of being an addict. I wish you the best my friend. My circumstances made it far easier than what you and SR will have to deal with. You both got this. |

Just the fact that you have identified the problem and are taking steps in the right direction speaks volumes about your character...
I wish I had your courage kid; I have zero doubt you'll overcome whatever is forcing this internal behavior... Chin up... |
What’s next, SR? Treatment?

I don't know you personally, but in the past you've sent me kind PM's supporting me. So in turn, I'm supporting you.
Good luck [emoji106] Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk |
Is that why u were trying to get ahold of me? If so I feel bad for not answering I prefer texting. You got this man! What's helped me is just limit yourself as much as possible it's gotten easier.
