Honestly I was here before, under a different name, but wanted my account closed due to raising my anxiety / worrying.
Lets see I pooped blood since, and one occasion even vomited blood. I think this has to end soon... and heck I just turned 31 this month.

Said old friend was a heavy drinker, but also abused loratabs and oxycottin. Before I knew her she was also abusing crack, and later on even meth. I just don't get it.

I don't know. I know someone who has been a daily all day and all night drinker for years and years, decades upon decades... he is not in great shape, but he has had a loooong run.
But I don't think I'd want a longer run than the one I had.

Quick suggestion. Consider changing your screen name. This journey has enough challenges of its own- lets not add to them by labeling ourselves less than positively.
Probably a minor point and I recognize I'm projecting since I choose a name which I wanted to become (which was far from what I was at the time).
Ultimatley, I just think its unfair for you (or anyone) to 'own' such a label.
There are countless stories of 'hopeless' situations changed by the courage, tenacity, and character of folks (like yourself) who reached out, grasped a little 'hope', made a plan, and changed their situation.

I would love to know the reason for that, or if there is one, but I have given up trying to discover why.
My time is much more productive dealing with what I can do to improve my life instead of wondering why other people's lives are different than mine.
Oh, and NO ONE is hopeless.
Change is possible, therefore hope is reasonable.
Best of Luck on Your Journey!

Genetics and luck accounts for why I was able to drink so much for so long, I believe.
Doesn't really matter why. We put a question mark where God puts a period.
Best thing for you is that you are here and are admitting you have a problem. How are you going to solve your problem?

Hopeless, glad the bleeding has stopped. As for what you said about why me? Why can't I drink as much, or like others? There's no answer to that. I figured I've been really lucky for as much as I drank, and for how long. And was spared , for some reason. Remember, it will get out of control for those people as well, someday, sometime. You just can't dodge that bullet forever, if one keeps on with the same habits. It will catch up. Much better to avoid all that pain, tragedy, and lost time. Focus on sobriety, and its rewards. Good to have you around.
