What happens in the stomach is also a result of what happens between the ears.
It ain't just the booze imo.

Hence the saying 'sick to the stomach'.

true. my stomach does react hugely to nerves and stress.

still, salmonella or c. diff would beg to differ.

when its for medical purposes we call it a fecal transplant.

how is your drinking going? mine had got to a point where though it wasn't ideally where i wanted it to be, it wasn't wrecking my life as much. so i was less arsed. and then it contributed to me missing a wilhelm scream so that's given me a kick up the arse.

i agree with this somewhat. although like Chinup said, there are things like C Diff or GE that exist separate from the brain. the brain-body connection is much stronger than people think though. i agree with you.

i would venture to say that 80% of people on pain management aren't managing physical pain. but pain is pain regardless, right?
most everything we do is in an effort to minimize our pain. it's instinctual. i've heard people say they can't relate to addicts. like, how could you put a needle in your arm or how could you do that to your body, etc. never underestimate the length people will go to try to get rid of their pain. sacrificing the body for peace in the mind is probably the most human concept ever.

also a lot of your serotonin and other neuro transmitters are in the gut. so i would say the gut-brain connection is the strongest.
 
Are there any others out there that think a huge (amount of liquid, not diameter or nozzle) coffee enema would be fucking fantastic??

I wish I had a SO or even a friend who was really up for it, as they a luxury I don't wanna spend money on!

Any takers?

So I've been on an etizolam binge and run out. It was only for about 10 days but it was 100mg. Now unfortunately beer is the only thing that temporarily dampens this rebound anxiety. Seriously fuck benzos!

Oof I didn’t even know etizolam was still around. I was taking 5 per day around the clock for months and then the delivery method became unreliable. That was the scariest time. I had to go beg some nurse practitioner to prescribe me a Kpin script because I was gonna die otherwise. Benzos without a sure supply is so dangerous. Please be safe ❤️
 
Yeah I can get them online but I simply can't have a box of them sitting around without taking stupid and stupifying quantities. I start with the best intentions, 1-2mg sublingually then my inhibitions go and that's that. Then the yardies and skag dealers get rung shortly thereafter.

But anyway this is an alcohol thread. I called in a holiday and I've had 7 tins throughout the day.

I was gonna try and not drinking anything at all but I cracked one open before noon. Maybe my drinking is worse than I thought, but the rebound anxiety from the etizolam doesn't help a chap!
 
fire water calling to ol' danny boy today.
its early yet maybe i stay at so until it passes.
like my stomach growling for it but i just ate. something wants fed.

Golden.
SO is not feeling well so am spending the night. Not gonna go out while she illin'... that would be absolutely barbaric. :no:
So it'll be a while before the horns call again but when they do, may there be a path less destructive to trod on.
Ya know it hasn't crossed my mind since she went to lay down. Cool. And thanks for askin as it helps sus out the important content.

Nice. I’ve found that what’s been said really is true if you ride out a craving and decide not to give in the craving really doesn’t last that long. And the longer you stay away from a substance the less often the cravings pop up. In my experience anyway.

My drinking's going fine thanks @chinup

It's the not drinking I'm having trouble with :!


But seriously, things are very slowly improving, albeit in fits and starts. I'm on another break now - nearly 48 hours so far, so let's see how long this one lasts... :\

rebound from 100mg can be rough man

but yeah, alcohol on benzo rebound/withdrawal is ridiculously bad

doesn't last long enough to sleep and it's basically an instant hangover

i have an erosion in my stomach due to drinking on an empty stomach years back.
Click to expand...
this is why I always force myself, no matter what, to eat something before I start drinking (and after)

I've had several bleeding ulcers, it seriously fucks up my stomach. They can get REALLY bad, debilitating pain and fatigue. Crying in bed.

I hope your feeling better :(

Personally I've been fucking up as well, been drinking the last 4 days and on day 3 I noticed my stomach doesn't feel good

my appetite is the first to go... I have to start literally forcing myself to eat and it isn't enjoyable

God, so true. My problem is I go into OCD mode when I'm anxious and cannot stop thinking about how easy it is to go to a bottleshop. Sometimes I've voluntarily given my wallet and car keys to my mother to reduce the temptation 😓

I was drinking beers this week because no benzos. Low carb (full strength) seems to do the least damage, or this Jack Daniels seltzer with Blood Orange.

Got the benzos yesterday and the effect is so "clean" compared to alcohol. That's the best way I can describe it. Alcohol is a filthy drug in my mind now. I'm on meth atm and the effect is *nothing* on what booze does to me.
