hep c, alcohol abuse, and hemorroids

so im a complet idiot went down the shor this past weekend and drank fri nite (about 5 beers) and then all day saturday too much to count, sunday i felt like **** of course and had bad bleeding ... i mean scary bad... had a colonoscopy a few years ago because of some bleeding and was told it was just hemorroids, im wondering if the drinking with having hep c made them flare up so bad... i have issues on and off every few weeks with them but not bleeding, i take fiber and activia yogurt just about every day drink alot of water and this drinking binge was a rare event... which WILL NOT happen again... im never leaving my house again haha im fine when i stay home alone ... i quit drinking when i was dx'd about 4-5 years ago but lately i have been drinking more and more and this weekend was just bad... really bad... i should prob consider rehab/aa or something i have been a drug addict and alcoholic all my life but have never done any treatment other than outpatient court ordered couciling and a few AA meetings... it was not for me, i quit heroin without any help (other than coke/meth and alcohol hahaha not even remotely funny but thats how i did it)...stage 2 grade 2/3... waiting on the new meds to tx...

im making an appt with my GI/hep dr today, im due for yearly blood work soon anyway...

If you have rectal bleeding please see a doctor immediately.  Don't wait, that can be quite serious.  I ignored it for a long time, thinking I had hemmorhoids.  By the time I saw a doctor I had Stage 3 cancer.  Please call your doctor right away, and good luck.

You used coke & meth to got OFF herion?????? Let alone alcohol?????   I think you are right, maybe rehab is a good idea.  As far as the blood, it is not normal.  see a GI for the colonoscopy.
