Alcoholic Chat - all calm

Yep, more alcoholic chat and its all calm Chez Moi at the moment. Jane has promised to be sober this Christmas. How many times have I heard that jewel of dishonesty? That jewel of propoganda to make me believe that we are actually going to have a real Christmas. She says we can do things together. Together? When did we last do things together at Chistmas? She does do things together at Christmas but it's not with me; it's with her best mate, her closest friend who comes in a nice clear glass bottle, Mr. Vodka.

Mr. Vodka is so friendly. He always provides pleasure at the beginning, then he turns nasty but Jane doesn't mind that. As long as she gets that special Mr Vodka rush at the beginning any price that she pays later is value for money.

She'll happily sleep with Mr Vodka for a full week or more. She keeps the bottle close under the duvet. No one can get near it. Jane asked me to get the Christmas tree from the garage. I said I would but didn't. I forgot but I don't want Christmas because it is a bad time of year.

Alocholic chat - all calm, waiting watching for the next time...

    Freddie, did you have a good Christmas this year? I've been thinking about you and hoping no new blogs is good news.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

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...

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...
