Everyone's different, but for what it's worth, I can't. :sad: I'm an alcoholic and always will be I guess.. One drink or one day quickly turns into "constantly drunk" and it's hard to refuse it once I start. Right now, it's pretty easy to not drink because I haven't in awhile, but that all changes the second I start.

I don't want to spend my life as a miserable drunk so I must continue to refuse it all.

Good job! I'm in the same boat as you. I haven't drank in exactly 2 weeks now. I feel so much healthier and my blood pressure has returned to normal. I wasn't to the point where I had seizures or anything, but my habit was coming dangerously close to addiction.

I'm also wondering if I can go out to a bar with some friends and just have a couple drinks once in a while. I just know that I can't keep liquor bottles at my house or I'll get back into drinking like I was before.

Good luck man. :thumbup:

Dude.  If your seizing, don't go back to drinking.  It might make things worse and make you feel bad for relapsing.

Oh how many times I have heard this statement. the addicts curse...get some clean time and then you think you got it down. it sounds bad but sometimes you just gotta fuckin find out for yourself man. if you think you can handle it, go back out and try it. see what happens. if you can handle it, good for you. if you cant, well you know what happens. the way I look at it is you can only ride the fence for so long. you might get lucky and ride it for a long time or you might fall off right away.

how serious was your problem?

Keep going down this path my man.
Alcohol's really not worth the potential risks associated with it.
That can be said about a lot of drugs I indulge in, but I've chosen to keep alcohol out of my life.
Almost 2 years running strong
:psychsplit:
Just one less substance I have to worry about using and over indulging in!

Dude you should just keep your momentum and stay away from it. For me, smoking lots of weed and eating ganja edibles really helped me in staying away from it.

Eventually you may reach a point where you can responsibly have a couple, but I think you're probably way too soon in your recovery to be considering that as a viable option.

but... yeah i know what the answer is. it was my first time being an alcoholic and i don't know if i'll relapse as easy as i do on opiates, so i should stay away. it does kill pain but then causes a lot more. why can't there be a pain killer that works and isn't addictive?

My history is really similar to yours. Heavy opiate user for 4 years, been clean now for a long time..then started drinking heavily about 2 years ago and just quit 2 weeks ago as I stated.

I've been using kratom for pain and the mild alcohol w/d's I was having. It's been working wonderfully, and the w/d's are none to slight lethargy for a couple days depending on how much you're taking. It's been great for getting me through not having alcohol around anymore.

Stay strong my friend.

If you were suffering from physiological symptoms due to your addiction, I would highly recommend staying away from drinking.

Try to find another outlet for your urges, if thats what they are.

For me, I found reading and exercise always helps....but it always comes down to a matter of will power.

kratom makes me sick unless i'm withdrawing from opiates but doesn't help with the anxiety involved. i told my doctor i was using  alcohol foe pain relief and she gave me a drug called campral, some form of calcium, and it took all of my withdraw symptoms away immediately. she also had me taper down slowly on Librium so no more etizolam binges for me. there were some nights where i'd eat 60 or 80mg, or an entire months worth(90mg) of lorazepam all at once, not even realize it. i could have easily died from doing that shit.

about 3 weeks since my last drink for me, I tried the whole 1 or 2 drinks thing for awhile and it works for a bit...but I'll always slip up and start drinking heavily again when I do that. So I figure its better to just completely stop

I mean, what's the point of having a drink or two? Better off just being sober in my opinion. Good luck to you though! keep it up

yeah, it would be easy to slip especially when i have been using alcohol and other drugs as literal crutches. the herb is useless really but it tastes good and might be good against seizures. it's at least harmless.

hey! i'll make it as long as you require. i'm done with alcohol and benzos, but i won't say the same for opiates, herb, and valerian.

i do have 2 cases of my favorite rum sitting in my garage. if i had a weak will, then i probably would have broken into those bottles by now.
