      See, I hate alcohol. I’m an addict. The “cure” for a hangover has always been more booze, get the good feelings going to block out the bad. My “hangover” is withdrawal and the only thing to fix it is opiates which caused the sickness, OR medications to combat the side effects. Decongestant, anxiety meds, and a anti-histamine to try to knock you out. That’s all that I could really do.

    I used to work at a liquor store. I had to quit after about 10 months because I just couldn’t sell alcohol to alcoholics anymore. It was so so so sad to see the same people every day, and for some, several times a day. They looked so defeated. I just wanted to give them a hug instead of ringing in their purchase.

  • @AngryAndy
    @AngryAndy Před 6 měsíci +74

    A little mind trick that helps me overcome my urge to get sloshed, is imagining myself in scenarios where I am happy and also sober. I also imagine all the times I was happy and not drinking. This is essentially the opposite of what people do when they feed their urges to justify getting drunk even if it seems like a bad idea, because of all the good times they had while drinking before... This is no full proof method but it helps me. You can also watch informative and elucidating videos such as this one.

      I would drink to numb my anger and loneliness, which was usually before my ex-husband would come home from work. Once I took back control of my life (divorce), the desire to drink wasn't there. I occasionally will have a martini when at a nice restaurant. I always drink water afterward as well. Now I have "rules" and I'm also happy with my life. I will never allow a person to make me that miserable again.

    I've been alcohol free for going on 11 years after a lifetime of drinking. I don't miss it a bit. I never even think about it. I've always wanted to write a book called "Party Girls and Alcoholic Women". I was that party girl but at some point I was becoming the alcoholic woman. You reach a point in your life where drinking loses it's lustre and becomes pretty unattractive. I woke up one day and felt like my soul was dead. It wasn't fun anymore. It had become a chore. I don't judge others for what they do but for me I decided I'd had my fill. I'm happy and proud of myself for making that choice. There's alot to be said for sobriety and my body and mind thank me for it.

      I quit smoking and drinking around the same time about 15 years ago and I feel so much better now than I did before it's unreal. I slowed my smoking down for about a year and then just decided to quit and alcohol I just lost my taste for it. But now I really hate being around smokers, they have no idea how bad they smell and don't like being around most drinkers because they can't tell how annoying they can be. I only wish I had never started or at least had quit sooner now that I see how it can affect others around me.

He was in and out of the hospital numerous times. He was put in assisted living and was only 55 yrs old. His kidneys started failing more and more.

I would drink through the week to cope with life and binge drink with friends on weekends when possible. At 45 I emotionally knew I was failing in life by my choices and actions from alcohol. At 47 I found my passion for the outdoors to be more true to myself, so I started a tube channel for fishing and camping. I am happy to say that I found myself before loosing everything I had embracing me like my wife and kids to the true friends that were not abusers. I can stay sober for weeks now and choose when and how much I want to drink if I choose to with friends. Life really begins when you understand!

    I'm a 23 year old woman. I've been an alcoholic since I was 18. Probably drank more alcohol in my teens than most people do in a lifetime, was homeless for 2 years and consumed nothing but dry bread and alcohol for 4 years... I'm SO anxious about the damage I'm doing every day. But I have zero coping mechanisms, so what so I do to cope with that anxiety? I drink more. I would find it funny if it wasn't so damn terrifying. But I'm slowly getting better. Usually go a few weeks without drinking now, then a few where I do, then a few where I don't. I worked my way up to 50 days for the first time this year. And just a week ago, I had a month under my belt also. I think for the first time in over half a decade, I've gone a year where I had as many sober days as I had drunk ones. I'm proud of how far I've come. I've been a homeless advocate for 3 years, even made it on national television once?? And I finally, finally went back to college a week ago. Studying so I can become a proper social worker. I know how important it is to have someone be compassionate, to just be listened to without judgement. If you're currently homeless or addicted, hang in there buddy. The only constant in life is that nothing is permanent. This will pass and there WILL be better days ahead. You are worthy of every good thing that comes your way. I love you and I believe in you.

      @@Pax.CZcams Coming from the financial side, alcohol consumes a lot of money, and it can effect your memory when it comes to paying bills on time. Or numb your ability to negotiate an extension on your lease.
      $2 a day for a beer may not seem like much compared to rent, but it repeats more frequently. $2 per day becomes $14 per week or $62 per month and then $730 per year, and that not taking interest into account.
      I don't know your situation, so I'm not making presumptions about why you're facing homelessness. But when money is that tight, small purchases do matter, because they add up.
      And this is true for $5 coffees as well, so please don't think I'm picking on you. But sometimes our coping methods are what undermine us.

    I just celebrated 10 years sober last month and I was a hard core, late stage alcoholic who had to drink around the clock to avoid going into massive withdrawal. To anyone who believes they have a drinking problem or knows they're an alcoholic but can't stop, please get help. Don't live in shame and embarrassment for years like I did. It never, ever goes away on it's own once you've passed a certain point and the consequences get worse and worse. I never thought I'd be able to be a person who didn't need a drink. I couldn't imagine not wanting or needing to drink. But after some hard and honest work, I put together a week, then a month, then a year. And I kept doing that because I was proud of myself and I was healthy again. Now, 10 years later, I'm still doing the deal. I've been through some of the roughest, most painful life experiences and never wanted to drink over them because I know that, for me, it would never be just one or two. As we alcoholics say, "One is too many and one thousand is never enough." If you can relate to that, there's help out there and lots of people ready to support you. ♡

    I'm a nurse and when I was still in training I was treating a patient with cirrhosis of the liver (he was an alcoholic). When I first met the guy he was okay - obviously not healthy but his condition was bearable. A few days later I was doing my rounds again and the guy suddenly wasn't capable of coherent speech anymore. I obviously freaked out because I thought he might have had a stroke or something and ran to get my mentor. She calmed the patient down a bit and then took me outside the room. She explained to me the shift in personality and cognitive function. This is what happened to the man:
    When the liver is scarred from the constant alcohol influx it can't properly function anymore. Toxins like ammonia can't be metabolised correctly and start to accumulate in the blood. Once these reach a certain concentration they will cross the blood-brain-barrier. This happened to the patient. The toxins entered his brain and severely influenced his speech and mannerisms. The toxins will also saturate around the skin, making patient very itchy and their skin irritable.
    Sadly, the effects of livercirrhosis don't end there. Since the liver is such a big organ and essentially our detox-station it needs to filter a lot of blood at once. To that end it is suffused by the portal vein which "collects" all the blood from your abdominal region. But since the livertissue is scarred the blood from this vein can't flow into the liver as fast as it wants/needs to. This causes the pressure in the vein to build up and the blood to accumulate. This leads to varicose veins in your stomach and esophagus. Sudden pressure or increase in temperature (such as a hot bath) can rupture these veins which can kill you quite quickly.
    The high pressure in the portal vein also literally presses out the fluid components of the blood which collect in the abdominal region. These are the "beerbellies" you might know. They hinder movement and the pressure can even cause shortness of breath.
    There are EVEN MORE problems and symptomes caused by liverchirrosis but I think I got the point across: Don't abuse alcohol because it will wreck your liver and your liver will take terrible vengeance on you.

      And…(another RN, dealt with end stage cirrhosis in ICU)…they look like orange 10 month pregnant people that don’t have any idea what they are doing and try to climb out of bed, sometimes get combative, sometimes end up on the ventilator as they go through acute alcohol withdrawals. Bellies are drained with large bore needles (5- 6 liters) periodically as the “ascites” collects from the failed liver. This can be risky and cause cardiovascular complications. The muscle mass and malnutrition leaves nothing but bones with skin on top, tube feeding or food through the IV has to be managed carefully. Medicine and treatment at this point are chasing the tail, and waiting to see if the patient recovers as the body detoxifies. So sad to watch and hard to manage.

      @@sjohnson1876 I've also seen those bellies being drained but more like 2-3 litres in one sitting. Isn't 5-6 litres in one go dangerous? In the academy we were tought that you shouldn't drain that much in one go as it places a lot of stress on the cardiovascular system.
      Medicine and treatment "chasing the tail" happens so often, it can be quite disheartening. I see this with so many treatments/diseases! From chronic diabetes to kidney failures to heavy smokers with COPD, the list is endless...

    • @sjohnson1876
      @sjohnson1876 Před 2 lety +16

      @@Onk3lM0 yes, you are absolutely correct on the amount to drain. We had a physician that did one and put the patient into danger by taking off too much at one time. I don’t know what he was thinking. The patient’s BP dropped and they started to go into hypovolemic shock. With the ascites, there is too much pressure on the vessels, especially the inferior vena cava, and if you take the pressure off, there is a sudden drop in venous blood return to the heart. It can cause cardiac arrest.
      And yes, this type of “chasing the tail” is very disheartening. I have learned to just keep these patients comfortable, because essentially it is palliative care. So sad. We can’t fix everyone. I also take the perspective that this can allow people an opportunity to make amends with their family or those close to them. Sometimes it is a good time to address code status, as they are faced with reality. So many people do not understand resuscitation, and so many times we don’t address it.

    I recently had the pleasure of having experienced a moderately-sized hangover from a very mild drinking session. It was right before my body started winding up to fight a cold that I technically likely caught the day prior without realizing it. Also, at my age, hangovers are absolutely to be expected and I will say that at one point a couple of years ago, I was so drunk that I started vomiting. Rewinding back to the first instance of nausea, I started drinking as much water as I possibly could get down for the purpose of changing my blood alcohol percentage. That was about an hour and a half prior to the event, so there was plenty of time for absorption. Next morning, the hangover was extremely light. Either my stomach had evacuated contents that would contribute to it, or I was onto something.

    • @antibull4869

      Hangover symptoms are largely due to being dehydrated.
      The drinking of a significant amount of water meant you weren’t as hungover. It likely made little difference in the actual metabolism of the alcohol you had already drank (aka: it didn’t change your drunkenness or your BAC).

I don't drink alcohol at all, you wouldn't even find any in our house nor do we have any sodas which I feel are just as bad for our kids. So with in our lifestyle alone I'm teaching my kids that it's not necessarily at all and with that they don't get the need to have it as they don't have it ever generally. There has been times where people asked my kids if they wanted a soda for the special occasions which I allowed, but they said no thank you and asked for fruit juice and water instead.
      I didn't grow up with sodas in my parents house and only really had some when I left school at 18 and because of that (it's not that i wasnt allowed to have any) I never cared for it as well as alcohol. So I do feel that our lifestyles influence our children's addictions and substance abuse alot later on in life. Just having it and do it around them often affect their perception of it and I feel that is something all parents should really be aware of and think about when they have kids. Our own behaviour affects our children in so many ways.

    It'd be cool to see a video on organs affected by type 1 diabetes or hyperglycemia. For eg how gastroperesis manifests when autonomic muscles like pylorus stays pinched by borderline high blood sugar. Along the same vein, how OTC medications absorb in various parts of digestive / circulatory / nervous systems.

      Thank God for Islam. Prohibits alcohol, smoking, and recreational drugs. All forms of self harm. Maybe for pleasure but in the end it's still self harm. It doesn't matter if it's just one glass a week, it can still become addicting. Same thing with only 1 cigarette a day, that could increase to a half a pack a day.

    for the hangover part I must say.. good sleep and plenty of water first, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) with witamin C (fresh citrus, orange, ..) , choline-bitrate, desmodium, to help the liver detoxicate, then beeing active the next day to activate metabolism, helps. As far as food is concerned, I feel pretty compelled to fat and protein, seems strange as the liver would have double task, so I try to delay the food intake as much as possible. 😊

Everyone asks me and I always refer them to this video. It is creating new members to this not drinking for the sake of it club, which I think is great. The best part is waking up without a hangover after a heavy and long party and being super fresh because I took no substance at all. The info from this video made me happier and by just reflecting on it I wanted to stop by and thank you guys for showing me what an aware and healthy life feels like. Will soon hit two years!

    When I went through my Special Forces medical training back in the 1980s, we were given the opportunity to assist autopsies when they were being done at the hospital in Ft. Sam Houston. One of the most memorable events of my life was when we did an autopsy on a middle-aged woman who was an alcoholic and had Hepititis C as well. She died of an aneurism. We had assisted on several autopsies up to this point, but when we opened this woman it was shocking. Her organs looked like they'd been put in a microwave on high for twenty minutes. Her liver was completely necrosed. It was just a black piece of lifeless meat. Her belly was full of more than a gallon of foul-smelling ascitic fluid. Her lungs were blackened coal from chain smoking. Her innards were so disgusting, I thought everyone should see something like that to show them the effect of abusing your body with cigarettes and alcohol. I stopped smoking after that experience, and I drink very little alcohol to this day.

Was it as a preventative measure as they put so much into you as far as training and faith to get your job done, that they did that just to try to keep you guys dry when that moment came? I cannot imagine why else they would. But it’s something I bet you never forgot.
