The Diary of a Victim of an Alcoholic

photo by Laura Mary This is one of my alcoholism stories . It shows how alcoholism can kill in so many different ways and most of them are not direct (i.e. alcohol poisoning). Jane had a mini binge about 2 weeks ago. It lasted 4 days. As usual she became sick when she came off the vodka. She became extremely anxious as usual and her stomach was highly irritated as it would be after pouring neat vodka into it without any food to help soak it up. She called a doctor at about 10 pm who as far as I can tell refused to come out. She called an ambulance, which came about an hour after being called. She was taken to a local hospital. She called me at 5:45 am the next morning to say that she had been diagnosed with appendicitis. I was surprised as there was no sign or symptoms of this beforehand. She had an operation shortly afterwards. I did some research on the appendicitis and found out that one symptom is sickness and another is abdominal pain both of which Jane had after a binge. Anyw...

Alcoholism Pictures (1) - guess what this is? - Yes the sick she throws up when making herself sick after a binge. She does this she says as it alleviates the feeling of sickness. She does though have anti-sickness pills. It is more than just about alleviating a feeling. It is borderline bulimia and a form of self inflicted punishment for doing wrong. Here's a couple of Alcoholism Pictures that pretty much sum up Jane's last mini binge. Despite: (a) Recently starting a new job that took about 8 months to find (b) Being cash strapped so a loss of job would be very bad news for her (c) Being scheduled to start a course on Monday, which is important in her new job (d) Being supposedly ill the 11 days prior to and during the last binge (e) Facing the prospect of me moving out with my cat (she loves my cat, more than me) She still went ahead and had a mini binge lasting about 3 days in which she consumed the usual large quantity of alcohol, about 2 bottles of Vodka and 3-4 bottle o...

Drunk again (my caption) photo by Ben Haldenb y Yeh, She's drunk again . It's been quiet for a while but it couldn't last. With an alcoholic it can never last. Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic and I think I can remember one of the visitors to this website saying that in one of the comments. It is about 7:30 pm here and Jane has been ill with a nasty cold virus for about 10 days. She has worked through part of it but about 2 days ago she phoned in to work to say she was ill and had to stay at home. She had two days off coming up as well, which when added to the 2 days sick added up to a juicy 4 days. When Jane has 4 days of (which she has engineered nicely) she uses it productively. She always uses it productively. She uses it to get well and truly drunk. She will find any means to engineer a 4 day break or more. She went to bed today at about 4 pm saying she was tired. She was tired because she had started drinking at about 2 pm. Of course this was totally private ...
