]]> Comment on Alcoholism and the Functional Alcoholic by Jessica http://www.drugandalcoholblog.com/alcoholism/alcoholism-and-the-functional-alcoholic#comment-111 Jessica Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:18:26 +0000 http://drugandalcoholblog.com/?p=14#comment-111 Hi, my husband is a functioning alcoholic. He's in the National Guard, high ranking NCO and holds his civilian job pretty well. He always has a beer in hand at home. Always buys 30 packs. And has driven when drinking, lucky hasn't been caught yet. He's not abusive, just becomes jello after having 6-7 beers a night. He knows he has to quit but is in denial. I think he honestly thinks, ah it's just a beer, it's not hard alcohol. Any way to show him what it's doing to him? I guess I'm just trying to keep my sanity. Any advice would be helpful.

If it were legal for people to do what they wanted in thier own homes regardless of government influence as long as it didnt cause immediate risk to potential neighbors then there would be a catastrophic drop in drug running prophits all of which can be taxable.... addiction is hell. you can explain it , define it , even say you can relegate it but really the best you can try for is to realize that when , drug crime increases and more and more people are hurt or made rich. you arent helping , your creating.

I report to work in 8 hours "as in i show up 8 hrs from now" and im fighting off the urge to pour another glass. I had a bad day yesterday. i didnt drink sunday so during the night i experiecend sweating , restlessness and spent from 2 am to 1 pm off and on with hot flashes before i went to work. where i was sweating badly and having the shakes. after some food and drink i wasnt so bad. This is my monday. I drink , smoke weed and cigarettes and try and not have a bad day. However ill spend the next 3 hours trying to cope with eating something and not puking and also manual labor without passing out or having the shakes so bad i cant hold anything in front of coworkers. I have been trying to cut my alcohol intake but each time its either all or nothing. first its ok not tonight , so i dont feel good , i stop . So i cant sleep , spend 12 or more hours rolling around. next night im so tired , so i go back to the drink. 5-8 glasses later im up late looking at the time to work and not caring bout whether im semi drunk when i get there. thats just an afterthought even though ive been told that ive smelt like alcohol when i show up and what happens again. im headin home.

However, it is definately not the first time that I have sat in front of some sort of drug addiction sight, high as hell, and thought that I waS going to find a "magic wand" that would, in one wave, would remove and cure the addiction that haunts me daily. All that I can truely say is that this is much scarier than any ghost storie or sightings, the drug is straight from the devil himself. Nothing could ever replace the time and memories that I have sacrificed to crack. This tiny white rock, will relentlessly pull at you until you have given over your last dollar, your only t.v, the new shoes you just bought, your parents coin collection, and the list keeps on goin till there is nothing left. Then all you know, its been a year, that has passed, as fast,as the five before and you have nothing left to love but that faithfull gift from saten himself, and the only love it returns becomes the deepest possible, and (saddly enough)it happens to be your 'best' friend. Only memories of the sober days keep your heart half pumping, and another hit eases the sorrow. and you cant even call your son anymore, because there is damn restraining order out on you because you ARE an addict. The only feeling of warmth that is left is the memories of the first 3 years of his life when mommy was mommy not a crack head who has let a whole year go by without a fight. There is a catch to it all DONT PICK UP THAT PIPE, DONT PUT THE STRAW TO YOUR NOES DONT EVEN CONTEMPLATE.. RUN, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND KNOW THAT YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE TO SAY NO. I have got to find where I am going and Im hoping that I will find the nerve to step up and lay that thing down for good to cool. I need to find myself. I need my son, to here him call me mommy is the only feeling of hope left. This is my first time on this blog as well.

Its great to see all these programs coming together and help people who have drug or alcohol problems.
