Tib...you are committing a very slow and painful suicide...it is horrifying to watch. I pray that you remain safe and am grateful that you keep in touch so that we know you are still alive, unfortunately unless you do something quickly you are going to die.

Tosh...I found your post to be offensive and hope that it is simply immaturity on your part. The fact that you find Tibs story amusing baffles me. The fact that you wish that you had been more craaazzzzyyyy so you had better stories to share is frightening and makes me think you may want to examine that more closely.

Hi Tib,
I hope you've learned from your experiment. Mixing drugs and alcohol is never a good idea.

As it's been said before, although AA isn't an option for you, it would be a good idea to abstain from alcohol and drugs. A support network would help you in this endeavour. AA might "suck" for you, but it is free, accessible, and full of people who would like to help you out.

If it were me, I'd prefer to go to AA than wander around town without my shoes. For someone who has the difficulties you describe, are you in a position to limit your positive options? The results of your behaviour sound pretty bad...I mean, the drinking and drug use is clearly causing you problems/grief. This sounds like extreme stuff, Tib. AA is an extreme measure for people with extreme problems....it sounds like you are the type of person who needs to take extreme measures to deal with a MAJOR problem.

It's been said before, your options are running out. This disease is fatal and progressive. If you don't get sober, you will probably die from this. I hope you can get the help you need to overcome this addiction problem.

Hi everyone. I cannot explain my whole story because it is too long. I want to get prescribed some antabuse. It seems like my only possible solution at this point. I have medical insurance through Aetna. Can anyone give me some good advice? I would appreciate it.

This incident has changed me & I'm beginning to realize that yes I can die using. I have a number of cuts and bruises all over me. I haven't been to an AA meeting in about a month. Maybe I should give it a try because anything is better than that horrifying night. I just don't understand how I could of got a a city bus with no shoes! It baffles me has how I could do something so stupid.



Mr. Tib

Tib, you know alcohol and drugs baffle us! A majority of us have done stupid,horrifying and/or mortifying things while drinking/using. I am so glad to see the beginnning of a new dawn in your posts...
anything is better than that horrifying night
.
Hallelujah, Tib!!! Go to AA again if you think it's worth a try, do ANYTHING, EVERYTHING that might help. You deserve to live a better life, man. GO FOR IT! NOW!!!

It is so scary where alcohol takes us....you must accept this reality as a fact in your life.
You take a drink...the drink takes a drink and then the drink takes you...always.
Go to a meeting Tib...save yourself anyway you can.

A six-pack & Kilonopins? I was doing that around nine years ago. Except I could'nt stop at a six-pack-HAD to drink more that! A Little bottle of Jack. Some more malt liquor. A few more k's. A little of that & I was curled up sleeping on my front porch in the dead of winter where all of the neighbors could see me. (!) How I am still alive I give credit to the Lord.
It will not work. alcohol & sedative antidepressents CAN KILL YOU. Please don't press your luck like I did..............................

Tib...all you have to do is do something different today. Old patterns will always be there if you need them. Find a room full of the meanest A.A. jerkwads you can find and tell them you need help.

back again

OK sorry. I don't know how to start a new thread or any of that stuff. I have been to AA and I didn't really like it. I am kind of an anti-social person. I get nervous around people I don't know. I have 2 dwi's and one pi. I am just the person that pops in here and doesn't know what the hell is going on. I didn't intend to disrupt the conversation but I don't know how this thing works either. Its luck that I got signed in here. I know about antabuse and I think it would work for me. Thats all I really want to know about. So how do I start my own thread and I'll be out of your way, I guess.

I know a guy who only uses once or twice a year. He goes to the crack-house with plenty of cash, a car and a cell-phone.

When he leaves he has no cash, no car, no cell-phone and no shoes.
