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 and Death

photo copyright crowolf published under a creative commons license kindly granted. These 2 ignominiously go together - Alcoholism and Death . Just after Jane's mini-binge (believe me it was a very minor binge by her standards) of about 20 hours she felt, as usual, suicidal. Jane always feels huge remorse and regret after a binge. She feels bad about letting herself down and bad about messing me around (although it wasn't that bad to be honest - it did though mess up what could have been some time together, which we are lacking at the moment due to work). Jane really does genuinely feel suicidal after a binge. But I must say I don't think she'll ever do it. She hasn't got the courage - I know that sounds horrendously cruel etc etc but this blog is about the plain truth unvarnished. It takes courage to kill yourself and a lots of despair. Jane has the one but not the other. Anyway to get more positive. We had a little talk and I in my usual style, mentioned...

Alcoholism is a Disease

1904 Advertisement I have always wondered if alcoholism is a disease . Is this just some sort of idea someone dreamed up years ago as a method to make a buck. You know it could have been that way. People think diseases are either curable or that the symptoms can be controlled to an extent where the person can live pretty normally. The signal sent to alcoholics by the idea that alcoholism is a disease is, "I can be cured by a pill" or "there is hope". And they go off and search for a cure to this mysterious disease...... It may be a disease, though. What is the definition of "disease"? It is an abnormal condition that impairs bodily functions with accompanying symptoms (after Wikipedia). Or here is another definition: An alteration of the state of the body or parts of it interrupting normal function (mine after ThinkExist.com). These are broad definitions. We usually think of diseases as say a virus that infects us and causes illness; the common cold is t...

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...
