i have depression, anxiety, and an alcohol/pot/painkiller problem. this kid gave me back my faith and hope, then pretty much killed it. i was sober for 14 days, which is the longest i’ve been sober in years and it was all because i wanted to feel, for the first time i didnt wanna be numb. and it was all because of the kid joe, anyways he doesnt want me anymore and its killing me. i’m obviously back to the “self medication” i dont want advice only on my problems with my self, what i want to know is how to get over someone when they meant so much to you?

well its been my third day without getting drunk..24/m used to drinking lots of beer or liquor every evening…im trying to slack down..but i know ill be drinking tonight its sat. and my budds wannt go 4 wheelin…woo!!right now i feel like i dont know who i am and feel all clumsy,,and its hard to sleep or i wake up in a sweat..i drank every single day for about 2 years..i wanna slow down cause my side have began to hurt and have pain for the last 5 months or so..especially when i drink alot!!! like say a fifth and a case overnight..what are detox effects..???

everytime i hear of this medical marijuana thing on tv i see parents just go flat out against it like marijuana is the worst thing to happen to the earth. yet they say that while drinking their alcohol as an old saying goes. i see this as hypocritical. yes i hear of the bad effects of weed all the time while alcohol is idolized in silence and sometimes in commercials (you all know the ones i speak of). of course parents can be a good influence many times, but they can be very hypocritical sometimes. i am not trying to defend marijuana. i’m just trying to say that if youre going to drink your alcohol dont tell someone they cant smoke their marijuana. alcohol is just as bad if not worse than marijuana. its a shame some cant get laid without it but thats too bad. just dont be a hypocrite about it.

I have been drinking for 15 years and it got to the point where I couldn’t stand myself or my life anymore. I quit 8 days ago and it’s been miserable. I feel weak and sick like I have the flu, I’m antsy and irritable and can hardly sleep. I don’t feel much better now than I did the first few days. Has anyone else gone through alcohol withdrawal? How long did it take to start feeling better?

I was already taking Effoxer for depression for 7 mos. prior for attempted sucide & was in a 2yr. treatment facility (voluntarily) for alcohol & drug addiction. Thank God I had 5 mos. sobriety at the time of the rupture! My hometown Doc. has taken me off the Effox. & relplaced it with Lamictal. Is it normal for me to be experiancing extreme ups & downs emotionally with this med.? Its downright scary! Will appreciate serious answers…Thanks.
