Types of treatment for alcohol

Is it possible to detox and remain vodka free without having to check into rehab? I was doing fine until last night. I found out my ex is back in town last night, which pissed me off completely with the way they ****** me over and had me running to the fridge for the Rumppelminze and vodka in it. Then at one of the clubs my friends and I were leaving some hick called me a freak I suppose was because I had all the black make up and vampire attire on. He ripped 4 earrings out of my ear before I managed to grab a beer bottle and smash it right in his face. Anyway, my question is if I could completely detox myself at home just popping Xanax, Percocet, and Sinequan for the 3 to 5 days until my system is completely cleared or if I need a hospital to do it. I was handling it quite well by myself. Now I feel like driving my car into a wall doing 100 mph. My few sober friends tell me I'm totally out of control, but the rest of my friends just laugh it off when I tell them. Great way to ring in the goddamned new year.

fourth:
keep humoring us. freedom of speech is great. you are a lunatic and it is good to communicate with wackos once in a while to keep things straight.
come on with your next pile of ****. and ya think you could leave out the effinheimer. that only shows you come from the trailer park. we already got that one figured out.

NO, not possible in your case.
Rehab is the only way to do it.

You already clearly know what you SHOULD do.  You will at some point, be ready to actually DO it.  Hopefully, your liver and your life will still be there to have something to work with.

I wish you the best.  Get all the help you can, man.  You're gonna need it, dealing with multisubstance addictions and rage issues.

I'm not quite sure what to think of you, sometimes I think you must be yanking our collective chain.  

On the other hand, if your life is really as screwed up as your posts indicate, it would be very sad and beyond the power of anyone here to help you.  A therapist would be in order, maybe?

I guess what sets me off is the self pity. If you are for real, and I have my doubts, thats the first thing that has to go. Good luck.

From reading your post you have more problem then just being an alcoholic. I would highly recommend you check into detox also seek mental heath services to deal with your issues. It would also help in your recover..Or you can continue to drink and die fairly soon.....I have not much pity left, as a good friend died recently from alcoholism and hep-C.....We meet and grew up together almost 50 years ago....

               Its your choice so make it!!!!!!!!..If you decide to keep drinking find some people to hang with that won't grieve to much when you pass...........Its not fair to your real friends and family..........

                     May God Intervene

What are all the pills for? Chronic pain - anxiety what? It is  important to get medical care when detoxing. People can die during alcohol detox (It is rare, but it does happen). Some hospitals do outpatient detox, where you go in daily and have vitals done. They provide daily meds (librium usually). If you can't stay out of the clubs and away from these violent situations you describe, then maybe you need inpatient detox somewhere. You have to be motivated though. What's it going to take to feel motivated to quit? Serious injury to you or someone else? jail? liver failure? It's up to you and when you are really ready, people here will support you.

To skiff: Why the **** would I be yanking people's chains and you having the ******* nerve to ask if I'm making this up. Would you like me to mail you the medical records for my last pancreatitis a couple of months ago that landed me in the hospital for about a week? And I definately do not create stories of self-destruction as a topic over lunch with friends. As for the pills I take I've been on Xanax for about 10 years dor my Social Anxiety Disorder. I've been on my sleeping pills for about 10 years as well. I also take Soma and Percocet. I've been on the percocet for almost 10 years as well, and the Soma for about six years. They are all prescribed to me. And I see no reason why I need to explain any of this anyway. My abdomen is 14 months pergnant and I can feel the organs pushing against my abdomen. I'm waiting to see when some alien creature decides to pop on through. Makes for the entertaining evening when yo hit the clubs and aren't sure if you'll exit the building alive.

The FIRST thing you need to do is get all the alcohol out of your house. I have friends that drink, and a couple of times they've left stuff at my house,it can get pretty tempting. I either give it to somebody or throw it out.
You are probably going to have to stop going to the clubs for a while till you get used to not drinking.

Don't think i didn't notice your attempt at humor by addressing me as "More Dread". I do not haunt web sites creating lies just to amuse myself. That's pathetic. And you have the nerve to say "If I really have Hepc". You can go **** yourself with that little remark. Maybe your life is so boring and trivial that you have no other outlet than to lurk on web sites and invent things. My life is in total chaos right now between fighting the Hepatitis and trying to stay away from drugs and alcohol. I certainly don't need another thing to worry about.

Hey drama mama-I wondered how you would justify doing what you know you shouldn't do!

I got a good idea, everytime you go to buy/use booze and drugs, put the same amt of money into a tsunami releif fund!  If you can't help b/hurt yourself, @ least do as much good to those who have lost evreything and want to live!

You quit when you wanta quit.  not, before, no matter how often you go thru 'in care' and 'out care'!  I did them both--even the Betty Ford thing in the late 80's, w/the movie and rock stars and the ice dealers from Hawaii.

All Camp Betty did was tell me I had hep 'b' not 'a' like a doc in 1970 told me I had-that was in my Haight Ashbury days--ah ah purple haze (I saw Jimmy in concert many times, btw).

So I went 'out' there b/c my depression level was the same.  I got a 'blue lite' special and had to do 'out' patient in the early 90's and knew all the tricks for beating the tests from Camp Betty.

B/it took a massive esophageal bleed and ammonia induced coma and a ER MD to tell me I was dying and would be dead in wks if not days if I went back out.

Of course, being a full blown global nomadic, the 1st thing I said was 'b/I've never seen Paris!'  That was 9-12-2001.  And I've never had a drink again.  B/I did go to Paris, rubbed shoulders w/the euro trash, stayed in a garret on the left band. watched bats fly across the full moon over Notre Dame. ah ah Paris nites and cool jazz.

It took me an 'out of body' 'near death experience' to sober me up.  B/the dx of hep c-never had 'a' or 'b', only c-cured my depression and explained my **** ups and gave me an excuse for all my naughty behavior.

Right now we are planning a month in Amsterdam.  Since my bleed, we've been to Amsterdam, Cabo, Hollywood, Paris and points in between.  If I had stayed 'out' I never would have lived to see Paris, much less our personal mecca, Amsterdam.  ah ah hash!

I also cured my hep c-a transfused infection in 1967.  In 18days.

I'm also a med marijuanna user--kinda like my own little Amsterdam. B/ I don't use chemicals or class A's or alcohol.

I chose life and happiness over death and depression.  And don't forget the hash!  B/ I don't recommend that near death thing!

Man, you are not alone. There are alot of other people that face the same dillema, the same feelings, the same situation you face today. The key is too associate with others feeling the same things, and help eachother get through it. You need to hit up some meetings. If you do not like to go out to meetings, you are welcome to come over to Hep C OOB forum. It deals with hepatitis C, and also alcohol addiction. What you find, is that the two are hand in hand. Alcohol is miracle grow for the disease. Help is out there man, you WANT it?

Thats too rich...do you think I could loose weight by just eating sausage, butter, and chocolate cream puffs?  Keep'em coming, great stuff!!

I would say for YOU, the answer would be NO there probably isn't any other way than detox. Popping a bunch of pills to get rid of one addiction is not the way. It just starts the path to another problem.

You have way too much rage,smahing a beer bottle into someones face? you need some professional help, You have to quit making excuses for your behavior ,my ex is back in town, I work in a club,My friends think I am brainwashed,

I hope you get the help you need before it is too late, Only YOU can make that choice.

Is there any way you could check in to an in-patient treatment center? I know that before I did, I could get sober, I just couldn't stay sober. If you can't then I would go to a hospital detox and be very honest about EVERYTHING you are taking. Because the only way to get and stay sober is to stop everything except AD's. A freind of mine once said to me that I was just getting my booze in solid form by taking the pills I was taking, and though they're not quite as bad for your liver as alcohol, they are bad. I'll be here at work til 7:00 A.M. Central time, so will keep checking back.   Joni
