13 Weeks out finding myself drinking wine everyday
self love I think that is awesome that you have been sober for five years.I really want to stop too.The docs told me I was healthy but I dod have at least a bottle of wine a night.I has three glasses last night but the doc said I cant just stop totally or my body will go into shock and I can have a seizure or die.Were you given medicine or anything to calm the sideeffects of stop drinking?
They had this shot that I tried about 3 months before I finally stopped but I still wanted to drink. When I passed out and wrecked my car at work from my body being depleted of the vitamins needed I started having seizures. I had to finally surrender to God... Ultimately, he had to take the taste and desire from me. Sweetheart please do what you have to do to get sober because it will only get worse... God Bless You!
theres a shot to help? Wow girlie you been thru a lot.I am going to get some help because I really want to live a sober life and not be dependant on alchohol to make me feel better.Its' been so heavy on my mind to stop I just have to be ready to quit.I said I was going to cut back a bit or quit all together.
I stopped drinking years prior to the surgery, but 18 months out I started social drink and social became daily. I went from wine to liquor. I did a lot of damage to myself to include attempting suicide when my husband tried to control my drinking, breaking my leg, accidentally cutting a tendon in my hand while drunk. I will not diminish the impact alcohol can have after surgery. I began to crave it everyday. My family life and job were great, I had no issues outside alcohol. My advice to you is STOP. I started attending AA meetings, but that did not help. After the surgery your body absorb alcohol 7 times faster than an individual without the surgery. I quit when I read a blog written by a husband who lost his wife to alcohol abuse after the surgery, her liver was destroyed. He said she would always feel pressure on her right side where her liver was- I felt that same pressure. She left behind 3 young children.
I don't believe it's a transfer addiction, I believe our bodies can no longer tolerate alcohol. I have been alcohol free for 3 years, but each year when I have my annual physical my bilirubin (liver enzymes) are elevated. Some damage can not be reversed.
wow paris I think that's awesome you quit.So far I'm not physically ill but I do drink a lot of wine and i'm a bit worried as well.I want to stop but I don't want to side effects like seizures,or anxiety,or the shakes.I already suffer from panic attacks for four years near during my daughters chemotherapy.
