Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol abuse for kids

alcohol

Avatar f tn We are not doctors here so not sure. But this sounds like a big concern. You need to talk to a professional right away. Abuse is never okay, even when a person has an illness. Also drinking and medication do not mix well and often when people are ill they may use drugs or alcohol to self-medicate.
1563920 tn?1299288683 If you look at my past posts, I have been dealing with neurological issues for some time now. I have been very depressed about everything, from having to quit nursing to my inability to work and drive. During this time, I have been turning to alcohol to kind of deal with my problems, not such a good idea, I know!!! It hadn't seemed to be a problem until last night. A group of my friends, including my boyfriend, went out for my birthday.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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
Avatar n tn 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 u didnt state what ur abuse issue was/or if there was one at all???..
Avatar m tn I really have a true desire to stop, I want to be here for my kids and my wife and I am also come to the relization that I cannot control it and also cannot stop at just a few. I need to find a way to stop completely. Any advise or information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn Is it concluded that there is to be no more alcohol of any kind forever? What about after you have cleared the virus?
Avatar n tn I have been drinking +/- 1/2 of a 750ml bottle of 80 proof gin a day for six to eight months. I have a good supply of prescription 2mg Lorizipam. Can I detox on this without getting the DT's, siezures or dying? I really want to get off the booze.
Avatar f tn Help..I'm on day 2 from going cold turkey from heavy alcohol abuse. How long will the anxiosness n sweats last?
1621722 tn?1333050499 Welcome to the forum. None of us are qualified to give you any sort of diagnosis, especially online. If you're using alcohol as a way to deal with anxiety and depression, you could be heading down a slippery slope. It already sounds as though you need to figure out exactly how bad your "problem" with alcohol is...and the sooner the better, before it gets any worse.
Avatar n tn I go through these feelings a lot but now is PMDD time. Worse than PMS. Suicidal thoughts and alcohol abuse and the fact that the alcohol abuse has led to me being 40 lbs heavier than I used to be............I'm stuck inside the house all the time with my four kids who are 3 and 5. By this time of the day I'm always really down. My husband is really no help because he works such long hours. I get to the point I want to be anywhere but here.......
Avatar m tn that apparently is marketed solely for abuse and not for what the name represents which on the subject of the k-2 fake pot or these bath salts have resulted in a rise of ER visit events..This morning I was reading about one boy that got so screwed up on one of these new synthetic formula's that he freaked, went home, and took his life with a shotgun..Thats Scary...
Avatar n tn My wife and I are greatly concerned about the natural father of our 11 year old daughter. The father in question has been abusing Tylenol and Alcohol for a very long time. Last year he overdosed on Tylenol and prescription drugs prescribed by his Psychologist as he has been recently diagnosed Psychitzophrenic and by-polar. He committed this act in front of our daughter. The last time we saw him in court he was almost skin and bones, very pale in complextion and exhibited an almost paranoia.

1255505 tn?1272819115 How many people here have a history of substance abuse? Did it result from or result in any episodes? I abused cannabis off and on from 13 to 20. I abused LSD from 16 to 20. I abused alcohol off and on from 21 to 37. I abused morphine & oxycodone at 40. Yikes! I also tried a few other things, but they never really took hold.
Avatar f tn s lived thru abuse and traumatic events will usually act out in some way if they never got help, i know i did, you become depressed and then you become angry becaussed your depressed and you eventually become an angry depressed person, im not a psychiatrist so i really cant say for sure, but, i can say he needs help its a vicious cycle, alcohol depression and anger , i know you love him but if he refuses to get help then maybe you leaving with the kkids will motivate him, sometimes you got to hi
Avatar f tn how can i help my dad getting over his alcohol dont get mw wrong hes been off it for four week now but he keep on taking painkiller everyday and hes not eatting that much as well is there any vitamins or anything that could help him.
Avatar f tn I am surprised that he was given the option of treatment since he obviously has a drinking problem Generally prospective treaters are carefully screened for alcohol/drug abuse and must go to rehab and be clean and sober for at least 6 months before beginning treatment Does your partner know that even if he clears the virus, he will continue to damage his liver by drinking?

Avatar f tn I am glad to say that there is a recently FDA approved medication for alcohol abuse called Vivitrol. It is an injectable form of naltrexone that blocks craving fir alcohol for a full month. It is covered by insurance and if you do not have one, the company will help you with about half the payment. So go to your doctor, or company website www.vivitrol.com and find a provider near you who can set this up for you. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Abuse is generally reserved for physical abuse. What your husband is is bossy and nasty. Unpleasant, but not quite the same thing, in that you are not controlled by fear. So why do you put up with it? You can go to other people for help, but the best help comes from you. When he gets into one of his mean moods, ignore him, walk out of the room, go shopping. He would soon give up because your silence would deprive him of satisfaction. As it is, you are playing into his hands.
Avatar f tn I am ashamed to admit that I am also a TMZ, and 'rag mag' junkie. That's my big guilty pleasure. This is the first that I have heard of this and it is very disturbing. There is enough of an epidemic in this country with drug and alcohol abuse without glorifying it any more. I could see how this would seem 'cool' to impressionable kids that often have enough pressure to try drugs and alcohol. Very sad.
Avatar n tn My boyfriend seems to get either drunk or severly hammered (consisting of black out phases) at least twice a week. He bowls on Thursday and friday nights and get's severly hammered to where he can't even speak clearly. He also sleep walks when he's been heavily drinking. He has tried walking into my daughters room on a few occasions because he thought it was the bathroom. He typically never remembers conversations, arguements, ect the next day.
Avatar f tn Well, all i can say is this. That kids that come from that type of abuse often start to experiment with alcohol and drugs, and permiscuous sex at that age, not all of course, but a good many. (Or It could be also though that your friend makes it a point to always be at her best, afraid of what will happen if she is less then her best.) Watch out for any drinking, for they may not handle themselves well.
Avatar n tn He wants kids. I think I am too old, my eggs were probably damaged by years of alcohol abuse. I am in recovery now, for 19 months. I would love to give him a baby but I am scared about the damage I may have done to my eggs. Please help...
Avatar f tn If I take alcohol i will abuse it, If I take opiates like hydro or oxy I will abuse it. Guranteed. That is a fact about me. I didn't ask for it and I often envy people who can take it or leave it. You found a good forum. Much hope and strength...
4113881 tn?1415850276 Im looking forward to learning. At the orientation they said there is a high demand for substance abuse counselors and since everyone will have health insurance because of Obama care, everyone will be able to pay for treatment now so counselors are needed. Im just excited and wanted to share my joy with someone so thanks for letting me share it with you guys.
