[@SilentRacer911]

See, I hate alcohol. I’m an addict. The “cure” for a hangover has always been more booze, get the good feelings going to block out the bad. My “hangover” is withdrawal and the only thing to fix it is opiates which caused the sickness, OR medications to combat the side effects. Decongestant, anxiety meds, and a anti-histamine to try to knock you out. That’s all that I could really do.

@@jewelsbarbie After 72 hrs the worst of it is over. Instead of waiting for a good day, or picking one date just quit every Monday. If you last till Tuesday, fine. Start over next Monday. If you last til Friday, fine. Start Over next Monday. Eventually you get so sick of giving up on quitting that it will just stick. Also anxiety is something that happens in the body. The quickest way to change your state is by doing something physically. So do pushups, go for a walk, take a cold shower. whatever works. Its also impossible to be in a fight or flight mode while eating or drinking so try chewing some gum or drinking a glass of water.

I just celebrated 10 years sober last month and I was a hard core, late stage alcoholic who had to drink around the clock to avoid going into massive withdrawal. To anyone who believes they have a drinking problem or knows they're an alcoholic but can't stop, please get help. Don't live in shame and embarrassment for years like I did. It never, ever goes away on it's own once you've passed a certain point and the consequences get worse and worse. I never thought I'd be able to be a person who didn't need a drink. I couldn't imagine not wanting or needing to drink. But after some hard and honest work, I put together a week, then a month, then a year. And I kept doing that because I was proud of myself and I was healthy again. Now, 10 years later, I'm still doing the deal. I've been through some of the roughest, most painful life experiences and never wanted to drink over them because I know that, for me, it would never be just one or two. As we alcoholics say, "One is too many and one thousand is never enough." If you can relate to that, there's help out there and lots of people ready to support you. ♡

After having just spent nearly a week in the hospital with severe acute pancreatitis, I will say that alcohol's effect on the pancreas is far more devastating than how it was just kinda glossed over here. I drank a LOT for the first half of the last 2 decades. I stopped around 10 years ago because my social life (and depression) was replaced by my kids. Well, last year (after having dealt with a lot of deep seeded problems) I started drinking a little more but nothing like before. A few Vegas bombs a day suddenly I can't stop vomiting, stabbing pains in my abdomen; some of the worst pain I've ever experienced. I managed to drive myself to the ER, they throw me in a CT scanner and tell me that I have acute pancreatitis. Then I just writhe around for a couple of hours with only some anti-nausea meds while we wait for a bed to open at a nearby hospital. It took 4 days for me to be able to actually walk more than 5 steps again. I wasn't even allowed to drink water for the first 3 days. I'm very thankful that I have health insurance but the moral of the story, kids, is that alcohol is dangerous. Alcohol is one of those evil things disguised as something unassuming; the proverbial "wolf in sheep's clothing."

[@amberparker3458]

DrewishAF, I agree with what you said about the seriousness of alcohol on your pancreas. In fact, the whole reason I watched this video was to hear what he would say about it and I can't believe that he just brushed over the pancreas all together. It is Horrible! I am a 42 year old recovering alcoholic and I have chronic pancreatitis. I've had it for 6 years and I can attest that when it flares up and I have an attack the pain is worse than child labor! On a "normal" day at best my belly always hurts to some degree! It Never stops, just varies in intensity. I have been hospitalized with it literally more times than I know. Including twice in the past 1 1 /2 months. Each time gets progressively worse and more painful. Each time begins with intense uncontrable vomiting to the point where only bile and blood are coming up, excruciating abdominal and back pain, cold sweats, the inability to keep down any food/ drink including water immediately comes back up! Every time I end up in the hospital for a Minimum of a week but usually 2-3. Since the only way for the pancreas to heal (if it's going to) is to starve it then the Dr will put me on Strong pain medication and iv fluids with No food or water for days until it's strong enough to handle water again and then clear liquid "foods". I've been through it so many times that my family doesn't even pay attention, call or check until I'm in ICU. I would give anything to be able go back and Never Taken that First Drink of alcohol!! I started drinking when my little sister died and in less than a year my pancreas was shot! The fact that I'm 5' 3" and only 100 lbs drinking a fifth ++ of vodka a day didn't help. My diet now consists of No red meat, No greasy or fried foods, No spicy or heavily seasoned foods and I can't drink ANY alcohol or it will immediately send me into an attack. My pancreas also doesn't produce 2 of the enzymes required to break down foods ( amylase and lipase) so for the rest of my life I have to take medication with Anything that I eat to be able to digest it. If I'm somewhere and forgot to bring my medicine then I can Not until I have it. I have a list of other meds as well. I apologize for the long post. I hope you're feeling better now. I'm not sharing this for sympathy. Maybe by sharing this though it might help Someone.

[@struck1999]

The exact thing happened to me last week. Had to be in hospital for a week with IV fluids to heal my pancreas. Alcohol is devastating.

[@DrewishAF]

@@amberparker3458 That's incredibly sad. I actually did the same thing checking this video to find out what the detailed interaction would be and was very disappointed. Naively, I didn't actually know that alcohol was so hard on the pancreas. I started drinking heavily when I was I was between middle and high school. But I pretty much ended that (with signs of moderate alcohol withdrawal that I was too stupid to recognize) when I was about 22-23, only having a couple beers occasionally with dinner. Unfortunately, I never learned to cope with a lot of the problems that lead me to drink in the first place so I moved on to every drug there is before ending up as a full-blown (but functioning) addict. It makes it hard to quit when you're terrified of withdrawal and you don't get to homelessness or a singular "rock bottom." After several years of IV use, I finally got clean with around 5 years of sobriety before I started drinking (in moderation, but consistently) again. Little did I know that I had already partially crystallized my pancreas and had mild digestive issues until a stabbing pain & gratuitous vomiting (also bile and blood). The first time was painful enough to get me to an ER, but mostly because appendicitis, pancreatic and colon cancer run in my family. I went home after a few hours with some nausea medicine and Prilosec. But after a couple of weeks, I had a Red Bull and vodka following dinner while cleaning the house. I woke up at 5am feeling far worse than before but stupidly expected it to go away. After a few hours, I had to drive myself to the ER again but my wife was home this time so I elected to let them run more tests. They were shocked at the results and immediately gave me some pain relievers before transferring me to a bigger hospital. The first 3 days were nothing I want anyone to experience, ever. But all of this stemmed from the fact that I had absolutely no idea that this was even possible. I wish I had known because it likely would have made me take it more serious. My GI doctor told me that with my family history, it's likely that my pancreas was already struggling but unnoticeable to me and that the alcohol just pushed it over the edge. Anyway, this is the second novel I've written here so I'll stop. But I genuinely appreciate your story and the pain. It's been over a week since I've been home and I have yet to have the pain leave completely. Enough to the point where I started to wonder if I cracked a rib with being so swollen or from the several days of heaving anything I tried to eat/drink. But it gave me the slap in the face I needed to cut the stupid shit out and take care of myself.

[@DrewishAF]

@@struck1999 Sorry to hear that. The first few days I was home I was struggling with bloat and a hydrocele from all the IV fluids. It took about a week to even get my GI system back to relative normalcy. I'm trying to make changes so this doesn't happen again, but I have a feeling it will be back at some point. Thank you for the input and I hope that you're doing better now

[@sniperandy]

@@amberparker3458 I had 2 accute pancreatities cause by gallbladder sludge, didnt feel a thing, only a bit of nausea, discovered by a blood test (lipase was way high) then CT scan confirmed, took me 2 years to discover the sludge, was treating as ideopatic, I was really worried. Removed the gallbladder, I wasnt much of a drinker, but this hit me hard now I drink a bit of wine around 2 or 3 times in a year. I can feel your pain, I really prayed these years, feeling the worse, my mother in law died of pancreatic cancer in the amidst of my trouble, which hit me even harder mentally.

[@Onk3lM0]

I'm a nurse and when I was still in training I was treating a patient with cirrhosis of the liver (he was an alcoholic). When I first met the guy he was okay - obviously not healthy but his condition was bearable. A few days later I was doing my rounds again and the guy suddenly wasn't capable of coherent speech anymore. I obviously freaked out because I thought he might have had a stroke or something and ran to get my mentor. She calmed the patient down a bit and then took me outside the room. She explained to me the shift in personality and cognitive function. This is what happened to the man: When the liver is scarred from the constant alcohol influx it can't properly function anymore. Toxins like ammonia can't be metabolised correctly and start to accumulate in the blood. Once these reach a certain concentration they will cross the blood-brain-barrier. This happened to the patient. The toxins entered his brain and severely influenced his speech and mannerisms. The toxins will also saturate around the skin, making patient very itchy and their skin irritable. Sadly, the effects of livercirrhosis don't end there. Since the liver is such a big organ and essentially our detox-station it needs to filter a lot of blood at once. To that end it is suffused by the portal vein which "collects" all the blood from your abdominal region. But since the livertissue is scarred the blood from this vein can't flow into the liver as fast as it wants/needs to. This causes the pressure in the vein to build up and the blood to accumulate. This leads to varicose veins in your stomach and esophagus. Sudden pressure or increase in temperature (such as a hot bath) can rupture these veins which can kill you quite quickly. The high pressure in the portal vein also literally presses out the fluid components of the blood which collect in the abdominal region. These are the "beerbellies" you might know. They hinder movement and the pressure can even cause shortness of breath. There are EVEN MORE problems and symptomes caused by liverchirrosis but I think I got the point across: Don't abuse alcohol because it will wreck your liver and your liver will take terrible vengeance on you.

[@SandyJ4321]

And…(another RN, dealt with end stage cirrhosis in ICU)…they look like orange 10 month pregnant people that don’t have any idea what they are doing and try to climb out of bed, sometimes get combative, sometimes end up on the ventilator as they go through acute alcohol withdrawals. Bellies are drained with large bore needles (5- 6 liters) periodically as the “ascites” collects from the failed liver. This can be risky and cause cardiovascular complications. The muscle mass and malnutrition leaves nothing but bones with skin on top, tube feeding or food through the IV has to be managed carefully. Medicine and treatment at this point are chasing the tail, and waiting to see if the patient recovers as the body detoxifies. So sad to watch and hard to manage.

[@dana102083]

I've had a few patients die from esophageal varacies through my stints in GI and ICU. It always amazes me when the family is either in denial or unaware about how much the patients drink. GI is still the hardest place Ive worked and being bullied by coworkers lead to me getting out. Best decision I've ever made! Great explanation of how things work. Hug your liver with abstinence of alcohol; I quit drinking that year. Take care

[@angiegongora6511]

Very well explained, when I was a nursing student, we had a similar case, the patient started to throw up blood and died very quickly, it was not a pretty sight, and as a nursing student quite traumatic 😫

[@Onk3lM0]

@@SandyJ4321 I've also seen those bellies being drained but more like 2-3 litres in one sitting. Isn't 5-6 litres in one go dangerous? In the academy we were tought that you shouldn't drain that much in one go as it places a lot of stress on the cardiovascular system. Medicine and treatment "chasing the tail" happens so often, it can be quite disheartening. I see this with so many treatments/diseases! From chronic diabetes to kidney failures to heavy smokers with COPD, the list is endless...

[@SandyJ4321]

@@Onk3lM0 yes, you are absolutely correct on the amount to drain. We had a physician that did one and put the patient into danger by taking off too much at one time. I don’t know what he was thinking. The patient’s BP dropped and they started to go into hypovolemic shock. With the ascites, there is too much pressure on the vessels, especially the inferior vena cava, and if you take the pressure off, there is a sudden drop in venous blood return to the heart. It can cause cardiac arrest. And yes, this type of “chasing the tail” is very disheartening. I have learned to just keep these patients comfortable, because essentially it is palliative care. So sad. We can’t fix everyone. I also take the perspective that this can allow people an opportunity to make amends with their family or those close to them. Sometimes it is a good time to address code status, as they are faced with reality. So many people do not understand resuscitation, and so many times we don’t address it.

Glad I quit alcohol completely some 15 years ago. I wasn't addicted, but I was quite a sponge trying to fill a void with vapid fun. After all that the void was still there, of course, if not even inflated. Also lost my mother to some form of hepatitis she got from drinking a lot of wine. She literally turned yellow. She quit drinking, but still, a few years later (9 years ago) her liver and kidneys ended up failing. She died early, in her 50s, just when she was all happy starting to pursue her life-long desire to do painting.

[@rebelgirl7289]

I'm sorry about your Mom. My brother did the same thing. Died of cirrhosis at 51, turned bright yellow. Had a great career, just bought his dream gyrocopter and never got it off the ground. I get way too sad when I drink too much but I have a cocktail probably once a month. Again, sorry. Watching your loved one suffer and die is very hard.

When I went through my Special Forces medical training back in the 1980s, we were given the opportunity to assist autopsies when they were being done at the hospital in Ft. Sam Houston. One of the most memorable events of my life was when we did an autopsy on a middle-aged woman who was an alcoholic and had Hepititis C as well. She died of an aneurism. We had assisted on several autopsies up to this point, but when we opened this woman it was shocking. Her organs looked like they'd been put in a microwave on high for twenty minutes. Her liver was completely necrosed. It was just a black piece of lifeless meat. Her belly was full of more than a gallon of foul-smelling ascitic fluid. Her lungs were blackened coal from chain smoking. Her innards were so disgusting, I thought everyone should see something like that to show them the effect of abusing your body with cigarettes and alcohol. I stopped smoking after that experience, and I drink very little alcohol to this day.

[@jackdurden466]

Damn man that’s a hardcore and wretched of a vision to have! And Special Forces gave you this opportunity to do these? Was it as a preventative measure as they put so much into you as far as training and faith to get your job done, that they did that just to try to keep you guys dry when that moment came? I cannot imagine why else they would. But it’s something I bet you never forgot.

This is the stuff that should be in schools from a young age, understanding the magic cells that create us early in life would teach us to respect our body's.

[@AstralBee16]

I'm saving this video to show my kids. My first born is now 9, I'm sure he is old enough to start teaching him what all these things do and what alcohol does. I don't drink alcohol at all, you wouldn't even find any in our house nor do we have any sodas which I feel are just as bad for our kids. So with in our lifestyle alone I'm teaching my kids that it's not necessarily at all and with that they don't get the need to have it as they don't have it ever generally. There has been times where people asked my kids if they wanted a soda for the special occasions which I allowed, but they said no thank you and asked for fruit juice and water instead. I didn't grow up with sodas in my parents house and only really had some when I left school at 18 and because of that (it's not that i wasnt allowed to have any) I never cared for it as well as alcohol. So I do feel that our lifestyles influence our children's addictions and substance abuse alot later on in life. Just having it and do it around them often affect their perception of it and I feel that is something all parents should really be aware of and think about when they have kids. Our own behaviour affects our children in so many ways.

[@AngryAndy]

A little mind trick that helps me overcome my urge to get sloshed, is imagining myself in scenarios where I am happy and also sober. I also imagine all the times I was happy and not drinking. This is essentially the opposite of what people do when they feed their urges to justify getting drunk even if it seems like a bad idea, because of all the good times they had while drinking before... This is no full proof method but it helps me. You can also watch informative and elucidating videos such as this one.

[@ShaunaSavell-my8ns]

I would drink to numb my anger and loneliness, which was usually before my ex-husband would come home from work. Once I took back control of my life (divorce), the desire to drink wasn't there. I occasionally will have a martini when at a nice restaurant. I always drink water afterward as well. Now I have "rules" and I'm also happy with my life. I will never allow a person to make me that miserable again.
