Baking soda works. Mix with warm water.
Keep a jar of Tums, just in case.

Raw ginja is awesome!

Funny enough I actually had a glass of water with baking soda (and some sugar for calories/blood sugar/etc.). It helped quite a bit. I might do it again! And find some ginsing. Unless you meant raw ganja which might help a lot too. I got some CBD edibles but I'm trying to just flush it all out.

If it doesn't make you feel better to be on it then it's a pointless substance to take. You've removed enjoyment out of the activity completely.

Smokers actually enjoy smoking. You're getting drunk, feeling like shit and talking suicide. See the difference?

Up to a few cigs a day, maybe. That's mild addiction, if any at all.

I used to smoke 1,5-2 packs a day. Occasionally, more than that.

Every cold season I'd have serious respiratory issues because of smoking.
At some point I got cold and started coughing up blood.

Eventually I got to a state when every cig made me nauseated. Would get the shakes. Almost threw up. Don't remember if I ever actually did puke after a smoke. Could've happened.

If I happened to run out of smokes at night, say 3 - 4 am, and no 24/7 nearby, I'd crawl around the apt searching for cigbutts.

All my clothes stank. STANK.

I definitely DID NOT enjoy smoking at that point.

Addiction fucking sucks major ass.

Quit cold turkey.

No.

I meant "Raw ginja for theninja".

Ganja may be helpful too. But I'm no ganja expert, cut me some slack.

I'm glad you were able to quit. That's like when my bottle runs out and I'm worried how to get to a store, then find a little bit left hidden and it's lke Christmas

I've head of pill addicts who threw up after eating pills but would look through the vomit to see if any pills were still left undigested.

People who haven't had a serious addiction can't understand it. I don't blame them though and I'd never wish these things on anyone.

Thanks! You can do it too, bro!

One day at a time, baby steps. And take care of yourself. Literally, take care of your self (body/health).

I know it's hard, especially when you're down, BUT... even half-assing it with bodily care is better than not taking care of yourself at all.

 

[TestosterOWN]

I'm still kickin! Barely, we shall see what tomorrow brings though.

Oh sweet bro good to hear!

 

[Persuadertron]

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.

Bananas dude try them. Easy to chew, they dont force the brittle feeling teeth to gnaw. Just to get something inside. They work for me.

And buy pedialyte if you must drink alchohol that much. That advanced care shit usually in infants section. Wont do anything until about 6 hours but do it.

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

I haven't heard that song in forever.

I did have banana today. It' helped. I have lots of gatorade, which I know they say isn't great b/c of sugar content but it's pretty good. I make my own combination of water/salt as well. Ya, mixing in pedialtye while drinking would have been smart.

gatorade has a lot of sodium, so try not to drink too much if you aren't active. be careful bro.

That dehydration fucks with ya man. Pedialyte and lots of tap water lol. A gulp of water from any faucet anytime you can. Urinate frequently and wash that shit out. And it looks better when you induce vomiting too. I know my sherbro i know haha.

And the anxiety, lack of sleep and incomplete thoughts and bizaare dreams? Just ride the bull dog. Just ride that fucking bull sherbro. Just lay there and experience the mind, body and soul pain.
No quick turnaround, mysterious panacea insta cleansing for tyrant alchohol. I've searched man lol. Alchohol is a hard bitch to kick out of the house when we want to be alone, fuck lol.

Gatorade doesn't keep up with hard liquor in heavy amounts well enough.

I know! Taper off alchohol. That worked many times for me. And it will keep a seizure from happening. BUT, it requires discipline, self-control and deprivation.

Use math and use a percentage less than what you have been doing to yourself. Day by day for about 5 days. I'm way to knowledgable about coming down from alchohol from practice i'm a stupid ass for not doing college shit damnit.

 

[evergreenrider]

And PLEASE, keep working on it brother. Dont want to be a debby downer, but a gentleman I used to work with had a BAD alcohol addiction. So bad in fact, he died from it at age 25 or so. 25 years old, and drank himself to death. Dont become a statistic, become an inspiration!

I’m too knowledgeable as well sadly. I’m about 22 hours into it at this point. I don’t want to go back and try to taper I don’t think. Plus I’d throw it all up. Heh.

Hoping to push through the hard way but will keep an eye on vitals stats.

 

[The Hash Slinging Slasher]

Glad you seem to be in good spirits Sherbro. You can do it.

 

[fungi]

@TheNinja, how is it hanging, bro?

In or out?

Have a good day. Try and do have a good time.

22 hours without a drink. Normal eating and sleeping habits are soon approaching sherbro. Remember: you are still detoxing. That's not a bad thing or something to be embarrassed about like i used to be. It's a temporary state. This to shall pass.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

glad you're feeling better homie.

 

[BFoe]

What are you even drinking for? The draw of alcohol for me is always that it makes me feel better. That clearly isn't the case for you. You're a mess.

That’s addiction. No addict really enjoys their habit much. Not once they’ve gotten deep enough into it anyhow.

Sorry I missed this earlier. I wasn't ignoring ya - Getting better all the time. Eat some actual proteins and fats...gotta hope that digests ok - Took a shower and actually trimmed my beard so I don't look quite as homeless. Hope it keeps getting better and doesn't take a dive. It doesn't feel like it will.
