Alcoholism Pictures

alcoholism pictures
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 of wine.

Alcoholism Pictures (2) - the typical after binge bedroom scene.

She called the ambulance last night at about 11 pm. She had called a doctor earlier who I presume wouldn't come out.

As usual she was hyperventilating (due to anxiety) and making herself sick by stuffing her fingers down her throat after drinking some orange juice (to make sure she had something to sick up).

The ambulance came an agonising 40 minutes or more later and then this morning she called from hospital at 5:45 am saying she had been told she had appendicitis. I do not know if this is true as she lies about illnesses to cover for her alcoholism and to create sympathy.

I have no idea how long it will be before she returns. For the time being I have to say it is nice to have her out of the home. Lat night and during her drinking binge there were times when I could have strangled her. I had a deep hatred for her as she is impossible when drinking.

    I can feel for ya buddy. I got clean and sober in 2001 after decades of death and destruction to those I loved. I totally had no concept of what I was doing while I was doing it. That was part of my battle to get clean - the quilt and depression that came with the realization of damage done made me just want to escape into the bottle again. You might want to go to www.healingaddictedlives.com for the free booklet available there. Certainly won't cure anything, but may offer some understanding. Good luck, and don't give up, It can be handled - I am proof of that.

I'd like to hear the experiences of both alcoholics and the victims of alcoholics, please.

Alcoholism Signs For Family

If a person regularly falls asleep just after breakfast she is possibly an alcoholic. This is because she has had more than a stiff drink early in the morning. Although, alcoholism signs for the family are hard to spot in my experience. What is my experience? It's being the partner and now (2008) a "live in partner" of an alcoholic for about 9 years. Update: I am still her partner but no longer living with her in 2024 which is 16 years after this page was first written! The first section of this article is by me based on experience. The second part is by Bing's Co-pilot after researching the internet. At the end of the article are some pointers as to whether the person in question is an alcoholic. When I first met Jane I didn't know that she was an alcoholic. At that moment in time I was an innocent to the world of alcoholism. It took me about 3 months to realize that she was an alcoholic. What lead me to this revelation? When I didn't know she was an alcohol...

Living With An Alcoholic

Here is what it is like Living With An Alcoholic . Whatever a normal relationship might mean, it doesn't exist. It is snuffed out by the dreaded Mr V (vodka). One of the first things that comes to mind is that alcoholics are known to be unreliable and just plain liars. And I am not being critical of alcoholics. I am just describing the facts. Alcoholism drives the alcoholic to lie and deceive. It becomes a way of life. And broken promises abound. Promises to change and stop. These are all well intentioned but can never be kept until the alcoholic is what AA calls a recovering alcoholic. Recovering alcoholics are alcoholics who are able, for the time being, to control their alcoholism. It is as good as it can get for them and their partner. So living with an alcoholic is a very fragile existence, the relationship always undermined by a breach of trust or a potential breach of trust. Then there are the rows. These occur during the binge drinking or continuous drinking (if the alcohol...

Alcoholics Disappoint

Emptiness born out of continual disappointment - photo by Tch0la =) Alcoholics disappoint all the time. It happens over and over again. As a victim of an alcoholic you think that you can start living even a little bit normally. Just a little bit of normality is all you ask. It is all you crave. And when you think that you are getting there, bang, she screws up again. Jane hardly ever keeps her word. She will promise and never deliver. These are the ways of alcoholics. Or at least the one I am living with. But I think it is pretty normal across the board. Alcoholics disappoint in part because they are constantly being driven by the first priority in their life: where and when to get the next drink. This rules their lives. They probably hate it but I reckon most don't even have an opinion on it. Their mind is full of the desire for that first rush after the neat vodka hits the brain. And then they can't resist the urge to repeat it. Jane does this until she falls asleep. Jane pr...
