Isn’t It Time You Were Told About How To Quit Drinking?

If you have been drinking alcohol for quite some time, it is time to quit drinking. Binge drinking on alcoholic beverages would lead to detrimental consequences. For example, you may lose your sense of control over yourself.

Many alcoholics find it very difficult to control their emotions especially anger, anxiety, and hatred. When things do not go easy, alcoholics may lose their logical reasoning and instead, make decisions that are often founded on pure emotions. Most often than not, those decisions may aggravate the situation.

Question by isotope2007: Can you answer a question about alcoholics?
I have a friend who is an alcoholic, he hadnt drank for years, then went on a two month binge, drunk out of his mind everyday or every night –

Since that time he hasnt been the same person. For one thing he is a lot dumber then he was and his memory is pretty much shot.

I know people who drink too much over time can get a “wet brain” and I know one person who used to be very smart who is now a complete idiot, brain damaged from drinking –

My question is “can it hit like that? two months of being drunk on rot gut Chinese alcohol and you sober up and are suddenly an idiot wth an impaired memory and honestly a lot dumber and less intelligent that you were?”

It’s not Just About not Drinking

Q: Take a drunken horse thief and sober him up. What do you have?

A: A sober horse thief!

Q: Take a drunk, or an addict, sober/clean him up, what do you have?

A: A “dry” drunk/addict, still angry, dishonest, blaming, manipulative, scared, full of self-hatred, controlling, confused, resentful, and even more irritable because we took away the drug that helped to cover all of these feelings!

The “dry” drunk is just as difficult to live with as the drinking alcoholic, often more so. (By now, I hope everyone realizes we can interchange the words alcohol and drugs, alcoholic and addict). Why more difficult? When the drug is removed, voluntarily or forcibly, we are left with the real and raw person. The old pain, usually from childhood, surfaces. Without adequate tools to deal with old shame, fear, resentment, and anger, and the additional shame, fear, resentment and anger accumulated in years of drinking, drugging and wreaking havoc in adulthood, the dry drunk becomes irritable, restless, and discontent, and takes it out on everyone around him.
