Popular Post bob smith Posted September 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) If you are lucky enough to find true love then whatever you do never let it go. i am currently experiencing severe alcohol withdrawal and my wife is by my side all day every day. She is feeding me, comforting me, making me laugh and making me cry. ive been a terrible husband to Mrs smith due mostly to the effects of alcohol and my behavior when under the influence. No more. That all stops from now. This is day 4 of my journey and I’m feeling terrible but knowing there is a woman by my side who cares and wants me to come through this is priceless. I want to be a better man, and I feel that by removing alcohol from my life will help me achieve that goal. you can have all the money in the world, but if you don’t have somebody who truly loves and cares for you when you are at your lowest, then you are dirt poor in all other aspects of life. bob Edited September 21, 2023 by bob smith 7 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddy42OZ Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) Well done Bob. I quit alcohol almost 3 years ago on New Years day. One of the best decisions I've ever made, just wish I'd done it at 33 instead of 53. Edited September 22, 2023 by Freddy42OZ typo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropposurfer Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Yo Bob, Get some thiamin (B1) from the chemist or vitamin section in the supermarket. It will help your liver recover and help the nervous system to a degree. If you can find a complex B vitamin (made for men) and get that into you as directed on the bottle ... this will support your nervous system, and body tissues. A good daily intake of water to help flush the liver. If you've got a problem with alcohol then consider seriously some support counselling going forward. The issue of alcoholic drinking (only you can discern and identify your drinking as alcoholic, or just heavy drinking). If you think you are an alcoholic then what is ailing you is far more than just the physical habit of picking up a drink and then continuing till stupor and all the wreckage that comes along with it. These issues require lots of support, wise, honest, and caring feedback from those whom the drinker begins to let into their life and their inner-story who have the skillsets to support. Being loved by someone, just like Mrs Bob is super helpful but more than often those closest to the drinker are too close to be able to detach enough. This is due to them being adversely impacted by the drinkers behaviour and needing recovery for themselves too. For the drinker without such 'cleaning of house' the worms in ones head plague and make being dry so uncomfortable eventually to the point of unbearable and the need to take another drink to quieten the madness between the ears and in the gut prevails. Good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be an alcoholic your whole life. And many have a relapse......every year. Therefore it is indeed important to know how many times he tried already before. So this time it's serious and genuine or just again the road to the bottle at the end? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called being human. 'Sometimes it takes a few times"..... How many times you think? 5, 10 or 50 times to stop drinking? With this addiction you destroy not only your own life but that of your partner and kids. And you call it being human?????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
