I just went to an inpatient rehab center for 32 days, and I’m now doing outpatient (it’s a 90 day program). I was a terrible alcoholic. This rehab has been a blessing :blessed:

If anybody has any questions about addiction, alcoholism, or rehab, please let me know.

Yeah, got a few questions for you:

- what made you go to rehab?
- how much were you drinking when you went?
- how did it help you?

I like hearing success stories; motivates me.

ive been driking for 15 years and can refuse a drink but problems start when i have a sip of the devil's nectar, i cant stop! will drink till i pass out.

i drink once or twice a week due to after- work drink ups, because i know my weaknesses i will have two drinks with work people and leave (to finish the session off at home or with friends)..see my problem is i hide it so well most people dont believe i get drunk or smoke (i dont smoke at work or in public). i chain smoke when drinking but on the daily i will smoke in the morning when i wake up then have a shower after that..my next smoke will be when i get home after work.


it scares me i can hide it like that and i know keeping myself busy can help but ive been doing it so long that most activities dont even interest me and i find most people who dont share my life experiences naive and annoying

I went through a 2-3 month spell of therapeutic drinking a year ago. I kicked it when one day I looked in the mirror and my face was looking bloated as fukk and I was borderline unrecognisable to myself. I was feeling sluggish as well and I was always in a haze.

I haven’t really drank since but I’ll indulge from time to time. It just fukked up that I seem to only drink when something bad has happened.

Interesting thing about the smoking part that goes with drinking. I smoke (Black N Milds). I don't need/want/crave a smoke ALL DAY, don't really even need it, UNTIL I start drinking. Always felt if I could kick the drinking, I wouldn't give a shyt about smoking. Cigs are a whole nother beast tho.

I'm an alcoholic. Need to slow the fukk down but my life has been shyt lately. I've been extremely lucky.

I've had a few wake up calls lately. I had an ex who drank so bad, she had alcohol induced seizures. Now I have a homie who is in his early 30s with kidney failure and needs dialysis multiple times a week.

ur whole statement is 100% correct breh. about the quoted, i realised that i cant drink more than lets say two beers with no ciggs,so if i manage to quit smoking i might have a chance of leading a clean life.

but just like another poster on here mentioned..quitting all these vices is not as easy as you have to change everything around you from people and activities/environment which is in itself is harder than most people realise.

My dad is an alcoholic, and I believe I’m slowly turning into one, as every other day I’ll sit in my truck and go through half a pint of e&j. My pop is a functioning alcoholic, as he can and will drink for a few hours, get drunk, and then be in the bed by 7:30. He’ll get right on up at 4 am, and go to work like it’s nothing. He gets off at 3, then will start drinking around 5.

Me, I used to be so scared of alcohol due to seeing my dad drinking every day. I didn’t drink my first drink until 22, but that first drink I had was some moonshine in Tennessee at a U of T party, and it went down pretty smooth, so I kept drinking and became a social drinker. Anytime I went to an event of some sort, I had to be drunk. I wasn’t really drinking much though, and didn’t really start drinking much until I got laid off 3 years ago. The stress was killing me, and I felt less of a man because my fiancé was making real good money just like I was, but I became somewhat intimidated. Every time she’d ask me if she’d need to cover the check or pay such and such bill, it would hurt. I needed something to clear my mind, and liquor did that. One of the best feelings is being drunk; I can’t explain it. I’m a happy drunk too. I’m not an alcoholic yet, but I do go through a half a pint every other night. I can kill a bottle of crown or E&J. Whenever my boy is in the city, I get damn stupid. I’m lowkey thankful to the Lord I haven’t gone to jail on public intoxication or some shyt like that. One thing I can say is I’ve never let my daughter see me drunk, and I promised myself and my fiancé I’d never let her see me in that state. I used to hate seeing my daddy like that, I’ll be damned if I do that to her.

My advice to people is, alcohol is dangerous and be careful with it. If you haven’t started, then don’t. If you have, try not to allow yourself to drink when going through something.
