I mentioned they had been very interested in us. <br /><br />"What would you have done" I asked, "If I told you I would leave if you didn't go to rehab?" <br /><br />"Oh" he replied. "I would have said no, and goodbye."

Apples and bricks and no matter how much you justify it and find things better as the tide goes out you can not, to me , compare drinking a bottle of rot gut to your need for meds. you are trying to maintain your health he is destroying his. not even close. Yes some drunks live to 100 and some bipolars die early but you did not drink yourself into being bipolar. He is sick with a disease I agree but this is a disease he refuses help for. you on the other hand took on your illness and realized you needed to be healthy to live! and thank you because I love your posts and life would be very sad with out my weekly stop ins :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1833164400791748803.post-30530607838594129352015-02-02T17:39:02.473-06:002015-02-02T17:39:02.473-06:00Oh, he only took one dose.

So far we're fine. <br /><br />Interestingly enough, I am also at a high risk for seizures, heart problems, gi trouble and bleeding, etc. due to medication. <br /><br />His grandfather was a hardcore blackout alcoholic, and died in his 90's. He was still being found passed out in ditches right up until the end. <br /><br />Some serious liver function. My tests come back worse than his (medication again).

But as long as you have him on pepto his stools will be black. <br /><br />be careful he could very easily have a GI bleed from years of assault with alcohol, it affects every organ of the body. this is serious. he could die of a bleed and just seem like he is dozing off. <br /><br />not to scare you but to arm you. please have him see the doctor he is at risk and vomiting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
