Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by : Is it normal to get quick alcohol effects which fade out almost immediately after?
So drinking a bit of relevantly alcoholic wine will actually make me feel slightly more relaxed for a bit just before fading away between 15-60 minutes. Also, I seem to have trouble with this at parties and the such as I’ll just get “the buzz” for about an hour or two before it fades away once again.

Question by lloyd Schwartz: will the withdrawal symptoms from abusing benadryl be real bad. i’ve been taking 100 pills almost every day?
i didn’t take any for 4 days, and i had HUGE anxiety attack. i’m really worried about the detox. i’ve already been in treatment twice for alcohol in the last year. i wazs addicted to meth for 14 years. i used alcohol to help me beat that. in 4 years i became a full blown alcoholic. when i was in treatment for the alcohol problem, i started taking benadryl. 6 months at approx. 100 pills a day adds up to A WHOLE LOT OF PILLS

Find s/thing to do with your time – it’s common to replace one addiction for another. plus remember the 21 day rule.

ages 17, 9 & 7 (big surprise, that one). I hid his drinking from the first, she figured it out at some point and has always disapproved since. She doesn’t drink nor do any of her friends. She’s told her father she disrespects his choices and his drinking in front of the little girls, that she hated how he acted when she was little and it disgusts her to see him like that with the other 2. He, in turn, just sort of ignores her. He is very involved (a “fun” daddy – not the homework, boring crap involvement)with the little 2. This time around as soon as they were able to notice that stupid way he starts acting when he’s had too much, I told them it was because he drank alcohol – beer, wine, whatever. And to stay away from him when he’d had too much because he just acted silly and stupid. I won’t leave him. He’ll have to be the one to leave. I make sure the girls are in counseling and he knows why, too. I’m just soo tired of my life and raising these girls seemingly alone. Any advice?
