Becoming free from alcohol is a very doable thing. But remaining free from alcohol takes work. I had to take part in my own recovery and work on myself so I would change. If I don't change nothing changes. Nobody could do that for me. But there are millions of us in recovery all over the world. So freedom for you is out there waiting. Keep your willingness and continue to make the steps in the right direction like you've described in your post. You don't have to be sick anymore.
My question is this I have a history of alcohol abuse, it started about 12 years ago when I had my child, I met a guy (who I spent 10 years with), could never get a babysitter so he started bringing beer into the house (only ever drank when I went out prior to this) after a year we were drinking a full bottle of scotch together every night,I had a very highly paid job god only knows how I kept it without being dicovered, after 10 years I left him tried to make a new start abroad it went wrong I
as a rule narcs can be stopped much less dangerously than heavy alcohol abuse//physically// cos as a rule there is no risks unless a narc user is old and has heart failure//mentally both r a true bumber//and aftercare for alcohol abuse is almost imperative cos it is everywhere//and drug abuse is not socially acceptable like alcohol is..peeps do not pass out oxys at the bowling alley like they do beers

Our daughter was forced to have unsupervised custody last week where she informed us that he was vomiting all evening. I have researched symptoms of alcohol and Tylenol abuse and found possible signs of liver damage. For the concern of my daughter, we are extremely scared on what he is capable of when she see's him. We are hoping anyone who has experience on this could offer us advise.

if the xanax is in addition to the alcohol.....then he's really playing with fire here. being a medical student, you should know already how diazepam is used for withdrawal from xanax. this needs to be dr surpervised and the process alone of switching from xanax to valium is a long process...but ultimately at these doses and with alcohol in the mix, perhaps thats the best route? a doctor will know best...but the alcohol needs to be dealt with FIRST...then the xanax.

Namaste Tammie,
Drug addiction (dependence) is compulsively using a substance, despite its negative and sometimes dangerous effects. Drug abuse is using a drug excessively, or for purposes for which it was not medically intended.
A physical dependence on a substance (needing the drug to function) is not always part of the definition of addiction. Some drugs (for example, some blood pressure medications) don't cause addiction but do cause physical dependence.
I have a friend whose just recently entered into a rehab for 90 days...she just finished rehab 3 months ago, but I guess it didn;t work. But my question is this... she says when she starts drinking she can't stop. When she wakes up, she has to drink. I guess my definition of an alcoholic was someone who drank everyday and then passed out. She will pass out in her own vomit and wake up and continue to drink.
Is it concluded that there is to be no more alcohol of any kind forever? What about after you have cleared the virus?
OK, My turn, This problem we all have is a DEEP one (I think), I come from a family of every type of abuse there is growing up in an average suburban neighborhood, alcohol,drugs, heroin, physical and mental abuse. My Father was NEVER home, always out with his buddies, used to drag me along to the legion at age 8 or 9 and throw me a couple of bucks and said get lost. He use to beat my mother and the 4 kids.
Dear Toast,
Allow me to weigh in as someone with 50+ months sobriety.
"Alcoholism" is not a term used in the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual of the American Psychological Association which instead uses the terms "alcohol dependence" and "alcohol abuse", it is not a strictly scientific or medical term.
As such it is a relatively subjective term which each individual must decide to either embrace as part of his/her identity or not.
