[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  It looks like me---bloated, but rarely eat...not yellow yet, but not so sure because I won't look in the mirror but to shave maybe twice a week. I want off, but not the pain that goes with it CUZ I KNOW THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY WILL NOT TAPER. The last time I was sober for 1.3 yrs. I'm not so sure I was very sane at all--only dry. Wife's mad cuz I said I wanted go to detox yesterday---said "what am I supposed to do while you're in there"?--(she needs it too).Complicated but all too predictable. detox seems like an escape but I know it's my only hope.[/quote]

Do not blame your alcoholism on your wife. People can only get their hopes up so many times to be met with disappointment. I don't know how many times I thought my dad had quit drinking only to see him start again. He just died last fall at age 57. It was not a pleasant death. He died from swollen veins in his lower esophagus bursting. His failing liver caused them to swell from reduced blood flow. The blood drained into his stomach causing him to vomit. There was blood everywhere. When they found him they said he hadn't tried for his phone, so maybe he didn't know what was happening. It happened during the night so he may not have known he was vomiting blood. We found a glass of vodka by his bed. So unless you want your wife to deal with something like this then get your act in gear and stop using her to make excuses.     [/quote]
