JOSEPH X Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you stay of the booze long enough GunWrath, you will find your views on alcoholism will change. When you are an alcoholic, you look for circumstances in your life that you can blame for your alcoholism. This carries on after you have given up, you try to rationalise your addiction without taking responsibility. In May I will have been off alcohol for nine years, and now think of it as just an addiction like any other. Your brain has an array of neurotransmitters, chemical transporters, enzymes and other chemicals, whose job when you are an alcoholic is to deal with what you are putting in there. When you sober up/come down etc. those chemicals have nothing to do so they start playing on your mind and body. Withdrawal is terrible because it's like having voices in your head, controlling your reasoning - except it is physiological. This is what addiction is, and it is the same for every substance.

S5L3T0 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 just don't talk to them. let someone else deal with a drunk person unless you want to waste your entire evening baby sitting a grown man. Im sure the OP is dealing with a relative. Otherwise he most likely would, but idk the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
