I’m tired Mayberry. EDIT: Thank you alll for your support

[TheNinja]

For some reason this song resonates. Hope it can bring healing and comfort to others. It’s sad but thoughtfulnnn



I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

Look, bud. If I could get sober, so can you.

I never dealt with the physical addiction (thank god), but I was drinking a 12 pack or more every single night for over a year. You can get medical treatment for the physical withdrawal and there are programs that are fucking fantastic for getting off the sauce. It's a hard road. No denying that, but it isn't worth dying to skip.

Don't be stupid here, bud. Seriously. Talk to us.

If you're gonna use that cliche line "If I can do it, you can do it", you better have a more solid back story than drinking beer everyday for a year.

There are people out there who have been drinking for years, decades even. Drinking beer? For a year? is kind of a joke in comparison.

I know you meant well with your comment. Everybody has the power to quit their addiction, but it's not equally as easy for everyone.

Thank you Sanson. I appreciate you looking out. A lot of people do just use cliche lines like buck up or be a man or you can do it. But Beer is a good guy. He’s given me his personal information and reached out. Many quality people on Sherdog. .

Not trying to make an argument at all btw. Furtherist thing from my mind. I appreciate both of your comments.

I got no where to go guys but appreciate it all.

I used to drink fosters keg cans 7 a night (equivalent of 14 beers) and i would black out and get sold more beer somehow. Even hard liquor at 11 somethibg at night. I got my body so fucking used to alchohol its sick.

I did this for 7 years until i quit a job from anxienty and ended up homeless in 2016.

The book of AA says try some controlled drinking. For me, it was take what i usually drank and cut that amount in half. No more" fuck it i cant sleep im buying more beer" if thats the case you are alchoholic and cant control it and must do sobriety.

I had 2 shots of Jim Beam and 4 bottles of blue moon tonight. Blue moon dont give me a hangover.

Keep taking the test if you must or get more "history"

Thanks man....nah for me it's blackout vodka. I can hold any food or water down at this point and constantly throw up. But a sandwhich and beer sound amazing....heh. How sad is that. I get to live vicariously through those who can enjoy just 4 beers - I'm glad you are diong well though! Awesome to hear.

I've been where you are. It's a miserable existence. Do you have access to cbd flower? It's helps with the withdrawals and anxiety. Also helps you hold down some food and water.

Really? Interesting. MJ sometimes makes me have anxiety so I avoid it especially on detox, but I bet a heavy CBD strain would work. I'm in California so we tend to have plenty of MJ and CBD strains I have to look into it, should help with the nausea like with cancer pantients and stuff right? The main thing is food and water and calming the mind down! Dang the mind goes nuts when trying to reset! Vivid dreams are completely insane.

 

[HenryFlower]

glad to see you still w/ us, @TheNinja
keep it up. i hope this thread stays active for as long as you need it to. always remember to use any or all of the lifelines left for you if ever the desperation starts to swell beyond emotional and/or physical tolerance.

for tax: three fun as fuck tracks that never fail me

I’m trying to stay on the up. Some of you know I struggle with alcohol but this time is a lot. No benzos to go down. No way to taper. I can't go on but I physically can't stop. Hell on earth. Love you ‘Berry

please don’t try to contact my family btw. I respect everyone privacy.

Cannabis is a good and a healthy substitute for piss flavor alcohol.

Dude if you're struggling with nausea, raw ginger is a miracle cure, I shit you not.

had stomach issues for years and I've come to rely on it. Get a piece and cut like a large coin sized slice, peel the skin off the edges and just nibble at it over time.
Taste gets a lot of getting used to but I love it now and I start every single day with it, no food.
Walk to work with it and eat it over 10 minutes or so.
Don't just swallow it, chew each little piece up in your mouth and get all the juices out

And keep your head up. Man up.

You will be fine.

Very interesting! Right now I'm having baking soda water to see if that helps the acid. I've heard about ginger as well. I appreciate the heads up!

Ginger turmeric tea is absolutely amazing for upset stomach. Cabbage and sauerkraut help a lot too, or cucumbers. Highly recommend ginger, I buy ginger chews just to suck on during the day at work etc.

I hope when my kids experiment with stuff they choose cannabis and not alcohol. Far less harmful.

Yeah ginger teas or drinking it in boiling water with lemon will work as well if you can't stomach the raw taste, most people can't to be fair.

Root ginger gets to the problem quicker though

@toaa what are ginger chews? I'm picturing a dog chew, but I'm pretty sure you're not kanine
Do you mean like a sweet ginger chew?

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Thank you. Once it's over it's oever right ? but then what's left? The master of karate and sunshine has to go on. I love Sherdog for so many reasons. Yes we are a bunch of funny people and dig at each other but deep down we care.

Don’t let the night man come inside you.

I've struggled with alcohol for much much longer than that. It was just the final stint before I decided to hang it up.

I do appreciate your sentiment, though.
