Answer by Shibi
I can’t really tell you what is wrong with your life — I don’t know much about you and it’s not my place to judge the wrongness or rightness of your existence. It does seem like you are very unhappy and that drinking (beer) seems to be an issue. Maybe some emotional support would help. Have you looked into an AA program? Look for one in your area — it may help you to know that plenty of people feel just like you and they bear the unbearable, just like you can. (Don’t be intimidated by AA, it’s a good thing, I think). Good luck and congratulations: 22 days sober is something to be proud of.

Are you serious?

What do you think? Answer below!

He has had most of the complications in the last year, bleeding varices that were banded last fall, he still drinks, he sleeps most of the time, he has ascites and edema which the Dr. just put him on a diuretic to see if that will reduce the fluid. He has had bouts of Hepatic Encephalopathy also, but no signs of that now. He is a severe alcoholic, 56 years old and cannot/won’t quit drinking, although he does go for some days now without alcohol because he is too sick to drink. He is not a candidate for a transplant, so don’t mention that to me. I would like to know what the dying process consists of with cirrhosis and if the kidneys always fail first. I want specific days or weeks or months of his likely survival please from someone who may have gone through this. Do they all go into a coma before they die? Since he just started the diuretic Hydrochlorithiazide we don’t know if it will relieve the fluid buildup or not, but the Dr. did not recommend paracentesis for him.

I have been doing Methadone for three years, now I am trying to get off of it. I am ten days into it. It is the hardest thing anyone could go through. I was wondering if I use oxycontin after withdrawing from methadone for ten days will it start the withdrawals all over again.

I took a sip of methadone to stop my withdrawl symptoms, will that hinder my treatment?

Thanks for helping if you can I just need to know.. I am concerned about my mother getting drunk this much.

I’m trying to figure out why people are so harsh towards recreational meth users who are responsible consenting adults that party from time to time. I don’t really see the problem. If you’re a responsible person & your partying doesn’t take priority over your responsibilities, what’s the harm?

I am wanting to know the ingredients for the alcoholic drink Seventeen Days in a Crackhouse. The bars here won’t give it to me and I would really love to make it at home. So if anyone can help me, it would be really appreciated. I have tried finding it on the internet to no avail. Again, if anyone can help, it would be GREATLY appreciated!
