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.
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
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 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 Is it concluded that there is to be no more alcohol of any kind forever? What about after you have cleared the virus?
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 f tn You are treading dangerous grounds when you get into a relationship with a man who has both an unstable psychiatric condition and alcohol abuse issue. When you add children into that mix, no matter how protective you may be as a mother, it does not bode well for your relationship. To be on the safe side, I would put the interest of your children first and foremost, before any relationship with any man, especially an unstable one. Hope I am not being too rough, but you did ask for my advice.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
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 My husband has alcohol problems but he refuses to accept it. It's been about 8 months since he began drinking more and getting drunk often. He was abused as a child. His mother was single after loosing her husband to suicide. She used to date abusive men who hit her kids and emotionally abused them as well. She did her fair if drugs too, often neglecting them. I think that his past is causing his alcoholism. Sometimes he us very angry and abusive.
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 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 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 Hi all! I just wanted to share something as I'm really excited. I went to the Alcohol & Drug Counselor certification class orientation last night. It was awesome! Right now Im in my last semester in college and will graduate with my 2 year AA in Social and Behavioral Sciences. That's all fine and good but it doesn't so much make me employable in what I want to do. I want to be a substance abuse counselor and to do that you have to get a recognized certification.
Avatar m tn You need to go to your county of residence outpatient alcohol/drug abuse clinic.They can help you find a good detox program plus do some follow-up treatment.If you keep this up your wife and your children will be the recipients of additional damage,more than what they've already witnessed.You are young!Stop this now before it stops you!
362971 tn?1201987034 207 Clearly, for heavy alcohol users, efforts should be undertaken to treat the alcohol abuse and dependence before starting treatment, but treatment is not contraindicated for persons who have an occasional drink of alcohol or who have a history of alcoholism. Although no consensus opinion exists, it seems reasonable to recommend either the complete suspension of alcohol intake while on treatment or to restrict the use of alcohol to an occasional drink during the course of the treatment.
Avatar m tn Wow that is a heavy duty question.......the risk of sudden death and arrythmias due from alcohol abuse are fairly remote however you have to remember that with overdoing it with the alcohol which is a depressive causes your whole system to slow down and depress everything in your body....
Avatar m tn totally normal for kids that age to be interested, curious, attending to… their genitalia. Touching each & themselves… showing it, etc… is to be expected.
