[shithawk420]

Thanks again cuddles.ill have to buy some baking soda then.

And I agree bozo.its just lying to yourself when you substitute drugs and alcohol.

By the way bozo,I actually had my picture taken whith the real Bozo the clown in chicago.not the original.im not that old.i think it was the last one.im kinda pissed with Chicago for ending that show.

being a drunk cost me more than i care to think about but one thing i still regret is all the memories i lost, the ones i missed because i was too busy at the bar and the ones i actually experienced but was so drunk that the memories have been erased.

...this here is an example of what i'm talking about because i didn't discover this guy until 10 years after he was dead and if i'd heard it when it was recorded in 1983 i would have had a chance to see him live before he was killed in a helicopter crash!

...anyway this track changed my life!



peas, bozo

btw, Stevie went through his own hell with whiskey and cocaine and almost died but a rehab and lots of meetings saved him, he was 4 years clean when he was killed but he was high as fuck the night this was recorded, the story goes he was so high that he passed out a few hours before the show and they had a real problem waking him up and when they did manage to wake him he got up, grabbed his guitar and went out and put on a truly amazing show!

He used to go to the club I sobered up at but had moved back to Dallas by the time I got there. He was still an occasional attendee.

you feel so shitty after just a few beers, blimey that doesn´t sound good. Do you have any peppermint tea at home, that can also help a little with an upset stomach. fennel too
Btw I didn´t even know that you can buy ready-made cucumber juice anywhere. I´ve never seen that in the shops round in my part of the world.

 

[justanotherbozo]

go to a fucking meeting!

do you think it´s just from drinking too much booze? Then yes, you really do need to detox your body. Give it water and nutrients instead and you´ll recover. Take a really good liver supp. I got a new one which besides the usual 3 also includes desmodium. Boldo is also good (but I haven´t had a chance to try it yet).
Flush all the crappy stuff that has accumulated out of your body.

once you connect with the drunks in AA they will go way out of their way to help you and if you ask you will quickly build a collection of phone numbers of other drunks like you to call the next time you want a drink.

...only you can make the call though bro but if you do i'm betting almost anyone you call will either stay on the phone for as long as it takes for your desire for a drink to pass or they will come get you and take you to a meeting.

...check your phone book or call 911, i promise AA will be listed and once you explain a little about your situation they WILL help get you some help.

...and if none of that works then come here, don't drink and find another drunk to talk to, that's the secret, and one day you can be the other drunk helping someone else, that's how we pay it back brother.

peace, bozo

talking to like minded people can often be a good thing not matter what it´s about.
Guys at the gym sometimes have training buddies too.
But the question is can you find a group in the middle of the country.
does the AA have it´s own online forum?

 

[shithawk420]

Joe Walsh is pretty aspiring too Bozo.he would get so fucked up his manager would have to pay in advance to the hotels cause his room was destroyed.but he got clean and wrote the song " one day at a time".

You need to quit drinking like I did a few weeks ago. It will be alright, you'll manage, trust me. I'm only a few years older then you. Me and you we're basically the same age.

 

[flylowgethigh]

Cvh, congrats on quitting. You will look back on this and be glad, and wonder why you didn't quit drinking booze earlier.

 

[shithawk420]

yeah,congrats cvh.thats awesome.im going through a really tough time.my neighbors are crazy methheads and there burning all kinds of shit like they are burning evidence or something and im scared they are gonna rob or kill me so ive been drinking to calm myself.im in the procees of selling my house but i cant find anyone to buy it.im scared shitless.

cool, I either didn´t see it or , more likely didn´t remember.
Shithawk, I was thinking that even there aren´t any official AA meetings in your area, maybe there are other initiatives so you can hook up with others in the same or similar situation.

 

[shithawk420]

That's not a bad idea cuddles.its just that I'm scared to leave my house for even one second cause my meth head neighbors will rob or kill me.the one kid pulled a fucking sword on me.my hands are tied.fuck I hate meth

 

[shithawk420]

Oh man.im going through withdrawal bad.im going to detox soon I think.it just sucks cause they put an IV in your arm and when your dehydrated it can take several times to find a vein.

They are being cheap too because the last times they didn't even give me a "banana bag".they call it a banana bag cause it is yellow.it really looks like piss.its a bag with vitamins.mostly B vitamins

 

[GET MO]

Lately I been trying to get into meditation. I’ve had this monkey on my back since I was like 15. I dont drink to a point of blacking out anymore, but I can tell in my body that the booze isnt good, used to bounce back a lot better. I been drinkin 2-3 strong ipa’s every day, less than my old usual pint a day of cognac. Sometimes I’ll switch it up n drink a bottle of wine, but now its like it gives me a boost gor an hour or 2 then Im tired n half sick, wake up feelin kinda sick n swear i aint gon drink then change my mind by the evening. I been reading a lot of spiritual stuff, currently reading Karma by SadhGuru, n I recommend that book to everyone drinking or oyherwise. A few other good books, The Power of Habit - looks at habits are create and how to break them from a scientific standpoint n really digs in how the mind works and why they are so hard to break. Also the power of now by ekhart tole - a great book that teaches you how to be in the present. Sendin positive vibes to all my icmag fam battling themselves with this alcohol n otherwise.

 

[shithawk420]

Hey I haven't seen you in a while MO.im going through something very similar.a pint of Cognac? Do they sell it by the pint? That's stuff is expensive cause it's only made in the cognac region of France.

But yeah I'm feeling the thing.im hot and cold at the same time.i started drinking jack Daniels at 13.been an alcoholic at 15 or 16.im 33 now.i got liver desaese now.its from drinking Ice beer.its nasty high ABV cheap beer.i wish I could afford IPAs.
