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.

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.

424634 tn?1277857528 Treat it along the line of an experiment with tobacco or alcohol..........these are widespread and are harmful. And after you develop a relationship with him in which you may discuss your "young man's" (he has a wife, you know?) habit with him .... mention that even seasoned pot smokers know that indulging to the point where you must drop classes to avoid failing them is a terrible indicator of future position and achievement ......
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 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 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 n tn abuse or really is it in the eye of the abuser they don"t even really know that they arre doing it ... from what I have learned from being on the other end of an abuser is that they actually from what I ahve experienced think that they are in the right to control someone, and that what they want is the way it is .. they are ablivious to what is normal or should I say rather healthy.
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 The changes grannienannie describes only happen if you abuse alcohol heavily for a long time. So don't freak out about sounding like a man and ruining your skin. A couple of glasses of alcohol can be good to calm the nerves, but you don't want to be getting drunk at 14. It messes up your brain, and since you're in a vulnerable state it could turn to actual alcohol abuse.
229538 tn?1300377767 Hey Hi-- Wow! MPD is pretty rare and usually those folks need long term treatment. It's odd that EVE would be one her "others". There was a highly publicized case many years ago,a book was written and a movie made: "The Three Faces of Eve". Then there was "Sybil"... It's very difficult to integrate the personalities and in all my years working,I've never seen anyone who suffered from MPD. Is she currently under anyones' care? Is she alone?
Avatar f tn Movies, go play pool, get your nails done, go bowling, baseball game, go to the zoo, shopping. ..you can always Google your city and state and see if they have any events going on or fun things to do in your area.
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....
2176476 tn?1338605299 Your health care team need to know if you are taking alcohol with any prescribed meds. Alcohol is a depressant and will make getting stable really hard. It is so good you are recognizing the need for help. You may want to reconsider AA. My understanding is that each group has a very different dynamic and sometimes you have to 'shop around' to find a good fit. My best friend is a former alcoholic and that is what I heard from her.
Avatar n tn You have good reason to be worried. I doubt whether an a doctor would tell your daughter that there is no danger in this combination of drugs. This is indeed a dangerous combination and although she may be lucky and have no effect she is taking a very big risk and she should know that.
Avatar n tn At this point I would not worry about cirrhosis, especially if you are about to quit drinking and get a doctor to look at you, to make sure that you neuropathy is due to vitamin deficiency and will resolve spontaneously with thiamine replacement and proper nutrition. Let us not give you diagnoses that you have not earned yet, OK? Let us take care of your health and avoid future problems. Good luck. P.S. BTW, if you smoke, might be a good idea to quit as well, while you are at it.
Avatar m tn hi.. don't worry that drug abuse treatment is very costly. many drug rehab centers are available to treat you against Drug addiction.Please have patience and try to quit it because its good for your health.
Avatar n tn Was the car accident after he stopped the ambien? And if so, how long after? When you say taking in large doses, exactly how many at a time and how often?
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.
