  • OK. I finally need help. My alcoholism has got totally out of control. I have had full-on DT’s and often wake up in the middle of the night wit mild DT’s.

    I think I should see a Dr, but what do I say? I am actually kinda frightened as some of my symptoms point to things which could be rather severe! 🙁

    Help!

    I thought you stop the booze?

    I did for a bit. Then I got a bit carried away. Gonna go see a Doc this time though.

    hit up an AA meeting and see if that could be your shtick, only 1 in 30 people who go to an AA meeting manage to stay sober for the rest of their life… but being around people who also want to be sober could be a step in the right direction.

    first things first you need to ween yourself off and make it through DT’s.

    Trying that now!

    Argh man I hate the DTs. Glad you’re seeking help man, if you need a chat just hit me up, I know exactly what you’re going through.

    I watched a close rely die a horrible death over 20 years on drink. It was a very unpleasant mix of chronic illness, memory loss, insanity, dementia and loneliness.

    Yeah it’s not nice. I started drinking heavily mabey 10 years ago now. Although I drink way less then the average person my age now days, I still have to take the last step and stop totally as it’s very hard for me just to have a few drinks in one go due to my history with booze. Leave me with a bottle of vodka, if I’ve started drinking already, it will go! As long as I don’t start drinking though, I can generally resist. At least for 3-4 weeks at a time then maybe I’ll have 4-6 beers. Just the last step and I’m there.

    Don’t have much advice to offer on this one that others haven’t said, and I have little experience in alcohol addiction. Good luck in your recovery though, if you can kick the K you can overcome this one mate. Good luck 😉

    at this point it is definitely worth visiting the professionals (whilst you are well enough to do so) ; better to get it over and done with now and maybe get some treatment than have parts of you start to give out, and land up in the attic at my work before your time ; especially if you think you have anything else wrong with you.

    I went through a stage of heavy drinking until recently but managed to quit (as I was putting on weight, and worse, washing down benzos with strong ale which I feared would finish me off one day); and knocked cigarettes on the head too a few years ago, especially as these things finished off many of my older friends from the electronics forums. mind you this is one reason I rarely go out other than to the housing co-op.

    Cheers guys. I’ll make an appointment after the bank holiday.

    Gonna try to dry out over this long weekend. Should be fun!

    Wish me luck.

    So, I have started the slow detox. I’ve bought the usual amount of booze (just in case) but have only been allowing myself one small drink every hour. I only have just over 15 mins to go until my next one and I’m clucking fairly well.

    Looks like I was slightly worse than I thought.

    I’m trying to watch The Mighty Boosh but can’t stop clockwatching.

    It’s pretty clever, you can either down your drink or try to eak it out. both ways have ups and downs. Really starting to get cravings now, finding it hard to type. No shakes or anything yet though.

    Shit, wish I could be of more use mate but I know little about alcohol addiction. Like I said though you overcame Ket so you can conquer this. You seem like a strong enough minded person to beat this and you have moral support right here; from the whole PV community obviously, not just me.

    You should try some yoga or meditation to make you relax & spend more & more time with your family…….I am sure you will be out of this after some time…..don’t loose hope & be brave…..
