^Not at present; it's an in-joke. :D I'll be there later this summer, have a good number of extended family who live there part-time and friends in a few major cities, mostly Toronto.

I'll let you know where and when if you shoot me a PM. :D
 
Thank you so much for the support noonoo, skillz and Mari <3
I've booked my doctor's appointment for Thursday afternoon. If I can make it on my own without a drink til then I'll be really happy (it's Tuesday morning here now). But in reality I'll probably need something in order to sleep, because now I have no temazepam left.
I am so determined this time to really make a proper effort of this...
 
^^ Yes it is actually, good suggestion. Thank you love :)
Either that or I might try night-time cold & flu tablets, they usually knock me for six :)
 
Does anyone have experience with succeeding in quitting a drinking habit. I just want to know when you begin to feel like everything is solid again, your mind and body that is. I have been basically 100 percent sober for just over four weeks now, and i finally am feeling back to pretty much basics physically. I just don't feel right exactly though, just not perfect, not like I remember being. The intestinal rumblings are basically gone, but my mind still often feels like a ringing gong, just that the ringing might be dying off finally. I eat right, I exercise, and I am not drinking. When can i expect to feel fortified again?


And good luck n3ophy7e!
 
You will notice it will never be the same as when you were once a wee lad. It just can't be as your perception overall has changed on life values etc. When I went off the booze for a good few months, I actually felt good in the sense that I could do things but bad in the sense that I kept on feeling left out from social circles and thus it worsened my depression. Now i've drunk again and want out...........Getting off the booze is more of an acceptance thing then anything, it's accepting a reality that isn't just with everyone you see.
 
Day 5 for me now, went out for dinner tonight and got offered free booze but simply turned it down. Am starting to realise the impact that alcohol has to my depression now, am starting to realise it in the food now as well.
 
n3o and everyone,

sorry to hear some of us out there aren't feeling so hot right now. here's hoping things look up soon.

ive been feeling the same way lately, which is why i haven't been posting much. things for me have been really up and down, and i have been slipping more and more, with both drinking and smoking. this past weekend was my birthday and what should have been a romantic weekend for two, turned into a big drunken fight and exhaustion/depression for the rest of the weekend. which really sucks because things had been going soooo great for us lately.

work has also been extremely stressful lately and i know that i need to be on my a game. which is why i plan for absolutely nothing except that which i am prescribed all week, including all weekend, and hopefully ongoing.

anyway, everyone keep checking in. much love. <3

Thanks for the reply. I'm not exactly trying to get to feeling any younger. I have only been drinking heavily, in this session, for about one year. Before that it was heroin. I'd just kind of like to get back to not feeling like a petroleum truck filled with beer went awry and ran me over.

Opiates to Booze is so common. I started drinking heavily for years after I got over my really bad run with opiates. Then it took me about a year of work to get my drinking down to a somewhat acceptable level, and now I'm still not totally happy with myself.

Only had about 5 over the past few days. Been drinking big cups of water instead. Also haven't smoked cannabis in 5 days, day 2 of no cigs.

Need I mention that I feel better today then I have felt in a long time?

Cannot wait to get to the gym after work, I can already tell I am going to tear it up.

Please be careful with that. They contain (at least in the US) acetaminophen/paracetamol, which I wouldn't put into my body if you paid me. Also, they can contain DXM, not at the level where you would reasonably expect psychedelic effects, but nasty stuff nonetheless. The cold and flu tablets will do horrendous things to your liver. I credit the fact that my liver is OK to my complete abstinence from APAP. If I'd been taking Tylenol 3, etc., for my pain, I'd be completely and royally fucked; of that I am sure. APAP should never be taken absent a fever of 104F+, IMO.

50 mg diphenhydramine should sort you out safely for sleep.

^^ Thanks honey <3
Cold & flu tablets here in Aus contain apap (500mg each), pseudoephedrine, codeine and triprolidine (the sleepy part ;)). I'd only ever take 2 of them per day, which is only 1g of apap, so that'd be fine, right?

And thank you monchi <3
Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about your drunken argument on your birthday, I know allll about ruined occasions because of alcohol :(
 
Remember Benedryl is just 25 milligrams of diphenhydramine, same thing as simply sleep at half the cost.

Anyways hope everyone has a great day

The pseudoepehedrine will wire you up. It's a shitty stimulant thats not recreational and is used for making you know what. Get one without the pseudoehdrine and the APAP if you can. Granted one gram of APAP isint going to hurt you unless you liver is damaged.

Im still getting alcohol cravings on and off but im not giving into them. The green also helps.

I was going to write something in this thread about how people should drink more liquids to keep their cravings down. When i have a belly full of water i feel much less inclined to crave beer. It's when i get that dry body thirstiness that the beer starts to sound real nice.

I just had some carrot juice, it's my drink of choice these days.

Diphenhydramine helphed get me through of those first few nights of sober sleeplessness. My only problem with it is that i find it stops working after one or two nights, at the normal dose. After two nights i need to start doubling up, and after another night or so that stops to work too.

I would try to get some Ambien or benzos if possible.
