I drink those sachettes witch electrolites from drug store, that you suppose to mix with water. Now I feel exhausted, mainly because of dehydration probably, pain is gone though
There isnât such a thing as âaddict in medical recordsâ, as Poles are historically paranoid about government power, and we hate government to track ANY of our medical record. Electronic prescriptions are just a thing in Poland, and they have been introduced just this year, after long talks and fights, that went for years, about that, this kind of system is maybe infringement to our liberty.
High guys, just wanted to say, that I am still sober and that I still have huge problems with sleeping, alltough joint pain is almost, almost gone
Also, I got very dehydrated after 8 days of constant diarrhea, as I mentioned before. Now after hydration with electrolytes I fell a little better in that regard.
Iâm exhausted.
Insomnia is really making me miserable. It destroys my mind, as I start to feel memory issues and I feel startled all the time.
Iâm starting to loose my enthusiasm because of it. My doctor prescribed me Stilnox (zolpidem, I think itâs called Ambien in US), but I donât know if I should take it.
I also feel urge to drink alcohol âfor sleepâ, but thatâs the worst what I could I think, as it is quick way to become alcoholic, whom I donât want to become.
What do you think I should do?
Also, during night my gf is in such a pain, that sheâs been agresive towards me, and started blaming me for everything. We never fought before, so itâs not very comfortable, especially that my parents were fighting all the time during my teens and then they started very nasty divorce, which has ruined me and my sister, so I just hate fighting.
How u doing u over the worst of the rattles now? Am feeling like a could take some painkillers a also have 4 5mg diazepam in my cupboard I feel I could take a couple and b ok a Don t know why am writing this to u suppose am just missing the codeine
Mate taking diazepam would not be the best of ideas,especially if your taking them for the bus. Benzos just led me right back to taking heroin!
Feeling like you could take some now is just your inner addict trying to convince you.
Hey, thanks for advice, but benzos are like narcotics foe me. I used to be addicted to alprazolam and clonazepam when I was 18. I was a very troubled teen, my parents were going threw a very nasty divorce, there was a lot of fighting in my home before also, so I was very anxious. I went to a psychiatrist, who prescribed me alprazolam, I took it, and I fell in love with it after the first time - all my anxiety went away in a snap. After that there was a lot drinking, partying, and it ended in mental hospital. Now I only was taking it for the detoxing, but right I felt a little better, I asked my GF to hide all the benzos from me.
Back to meritum, I feel fine. I feel like detox is over for me. But my GF started binge drinking, and I donât know what to do. She says itâs only because of the detox and the pain, and in some way I believe her. She promised she stops today, with booze, so we will see. Still, Iâm very worriod about her, and I donât know exactly what to do.
My gf started to binge drink, as we used âmedicallyâ some alcohol to feel a little bit better during withdrawal from opioids. Iâm not a saint too, because I drink more than ever too. But she is drunk to unconsciousness from morning to down. I donât know what to do.
Edit: btw, I feel so tempted, as there is an opened bottle of wine in the fridge. Should I poor it to sink?
Fuck. If she really is unconscious you have to get her to a hospital! It can be seriously dangerous!
You said earlier youse got pain meds from the doctor. Had your girlfriend taken these? These should be enough to take the pain away so she doesnât need the alcohol. I understand the sentiment and idea behind her drinking, but well, she is overdoing it. And on day nine of your withdrawal, she should probably feel some of the symptoms relieve, if Iâm not mistaken? How are you personally?
She is two days after me on detox, so itâs 7 days for her, nonetheless, you are probably right.
She is just sleeping now, sobering, itâs 8 am in Poland so the worst is after her. She had some reflexes and gags, so it wasnât an emergency, just shitface. She promised me she stops today, but I know from personal experience what kind of hangover is waiting for her, so Iâm afraid she is gonna drink, for a âreliefâ. Iâm waiting for her to wake up, what should I tell her then?
This is difficult right, as most people will say, your recovery comes first, you canât save anybody and you canât make decisions for them or shoulder their burden. And I believe this too and know it to be true. At the same time, you guys are going through this together, at the same time, in the same place. I do believe you have influence over her, also because she is weak from the withdrawals. If it was me, I would pour the booze away now, not having any myself, and let her know in no uncertain terms thatâs done with. Keep her hydrated, keep her safe, and donât give her any more booze. You have benzos from the doc at home, give her half of one if you can without being tempted yourself, IF she really needs to have something. Do not support her going back to drinking, itâs shit for her and will only make getting sober harder and more complicated for her. Neither of you needs that.
Obviously I know you donât have control over what she does. But while she is too weak to go out and buy more, you actually do. Also she promised to stop anyway. My own personal opinion.
I have been to a drugstore for some bandages, and a farmacist, who knows me good obviously (codeine is OTC in Poland as I mentioned), said that I look much better. It made me feel better.
That must surely feel good! And remember: the further you get in sobriety, the more reason you will have to feel good about yourselves. Things will not be all perfect and easy all the time, but youâll feel better than using nonetheless, youâll feel self respect. Donât let up in your efforts, I wish you a good sober day!
