Hi There, another new guy here, I've tried a bunch of different ways to curb my alcohol intake and failed, I'm 39 and it has been a weight on my shoulders since a teenager, sometimes I want to give up, other times just be on top of it, have many out there been able to just cut down and manage, also wondered if there are many MWO subscribers in NZ, any help/direction would be appreciated, right now I want to sort it out but not sure what the next steps are.Comment

Dazed,
I have the same question as Dolly- are you driving yourself to rehab? This sounds harsh, but are you drinking too much to drive there? Are you using this weekend to "say goodbye to alcohol"? I apologize if I am way off base, but that is how my mind would work I feel certain. I would go for the last binge, but in your case it is more dangerous due to what you have already been through and still going through, apparently. Share some more- we all care about what happens to you and we are all concerned about what is happening now. Kriger"People usually fail when they are on the verge of success. So give as much care to the end as to the beginning." Lao-TzuComment

Hey, Jimmy, good that you came here. You'll get a lot of support... here's a suggestion: go back to the Forums, and start a new thread of your own, in "Just Starting Out," and tell people a bit more about yourself. Folks will be very happy to welcome you and offer help. Here in the middle of this other guy's thread you might get lost, and we don't want that to happen, OK?
best wishes,

Last binge, no. I just got hammered by this bug and am simply sick. Did not want to get into details but the drainage is making me vomit every couple of hours. I am on heavy anti biotics. The drinking problem has taken a back seat believe it or not. My stomach was already in a touchy mood but now, geez, it is a mess. Luckilly I had some slim fast on hand already. I did manage to eat 4 pickles, opened the fridge and saw them and just had to have them.
Ive slept most of the day and am now waiting on the Cowboys preseason game against the Chargers.

Take the anti biotics and sleep alot. The ativan was flushed this morning. I am scheduled for rehab on Monday afternoon and will be there for 30 days. Right now I am not drinking anything, I am just trying not to vomit.
Several years ago I caught a baseball with my left eye socket and it crushed 1 side of my nose. Now I have a really bad deviated septum and I get sinus infections from time to time.Comment

I understand just please go Mon. They can probably make you feel better than staying home can. I'm truly scared for you. I put it off till I was puking up blood and I won't describe my bowel movements. You are sick...beyond an ulcer and a sinus infection. It will not get better until you get off the alcohol. I know your wife is a nurse I think she knows you are very very ill. You have a family. Make it better.Comment

Dazed, i was wondering the same....looked it up:
lulz: "lulz" is a corruption of LOL. lulz is often used as a noun — e.g. "for the lulz" ("for laughs").[21][22][23] Especially used to denote laughter at another's expense.
Do you have a ride tomorrow?Comment

Dazed....just want to say we know your pain is real and none of us feel you are "lulzing" (is that a word?) I'm sure Wip doesn't either.
Hang in there!Comment

Anyone that thinks I am doing this for laughs, please leave the thread and do not post again. This thread is about a journey I am going through and has nothing to do with humor. I am about 30 days away from dying and I want to document every emotion and feeling I have as well as sharing those feelings. I am 38 yrs old and have been a heavy drinker since the age of 17. I have been able to moderate up untill the last year or so when the physical damage started to become to much. In no way shape or form do I take this lightly and I have never laughed about my condition, shed a few tears but thats a little different. I have fought this like crazy and I have made alot of headway but I finally decided I could not do this alone. I contacted a rehab center and after getting all the paper work done I was accepted as a patient.
Anyone out there that reaches this level of alcoholism I pray for you, God bless and dont give up.Comment
