I am in the hospital

a reply to: Innocuous

Oh I wouldn't. I'm more of the tough love sort myself. If Tech was a relative, my response would have been more harsh. I'm just commenting on the posts. IMO, with such a wide array of comments, hopefully someone will get through to him. The same hot water that softens the noodle, also hardens the egg. Never know what the best approach is.

But the coffee, changes the water.

it was funny, while in the hospital the charge nurse was eager to get rid of me and my smart mouthed ass,.. the doctor came in and hearing her words, he said,"you'd be better suited massaging someones feet somewhere" and he turned his attention to me and quickly made it plane as day, that if i don't stop drinking a short nice long death that no one wants to see will occur, you will see... I said yes sir. and he smiled," and said don't let me down i know what you want... then he called to the nurses and said

Well Tech, here's nine pages of people who care. You better be paying attention.

No doubt. It's on him now.

There is nothing in your lifetime that will ever get me to...stfu. I never kicked anybody when they were down...I simply told the man the goddamn truth. Versus the damn pity party everyone else wants to throw him...In the hospital, because of a drinking problem. Sounds like a good reason to pat him on the back. a reply to: Riffrafter

There is a fine line between "pity party" and trying to motivate someone to stay positive so they can move on and improve. A pity party would be us all telling the op its not their fault,and stuff such as that. OP knows good and well he has a problem. Some of us use humor to lighten a situation like Tech has done. If you cannot tell the pictures are a little humorous to me and also to inform on his progress while there.

Motley crew i think.

Oh wow! Alcohol sucks. Or at least the way you doing it. You doing it wrong, I suppose.

But anyways, you know, your face is not flushed from being over-stressed or overworked, you don't seem to have lost any weight, or at least going by your profile pic, and if your not pissing in weird angles and colors, well that just means your liver is still good, in all you seem to be in good health, in those selfies its almost like you woke up from a nap. Lucky you! And no I am not being sarcastic, for there are worse conditions to wake up in if alcohol is your issue.

If I did not know any better I would say you posted this, and started this whole thread, just so you can post a shirtless picture of yourself! If so, that's pretty smart, though a bit needy and sappy. Its likely not to have the desired effect you would want, most especially for the ladies no matter what they say or hint at. If you know what I am saying? If not, no big deal, you will learn. Though it was a pretty dam smart idea.

Anyways I see you have a cellphone, must be since your posting selfies. That is also good, if your homeless, other then some wheels, I would say a cellphone is something that may be essential and can possibly be well worth what monies you may not have, to spend on. Now a days pretty much everything or at least a great majority is accessed by digital means, including jobs, programs for vets, even map on how to get there, # you can even learn how to make makeshift dwellings and all kinds of stuff from freaking YouTube of all places, and other such things, and ect ect.

If you can post selfies, I am sure you can use it for other capabilities as well.

That and its likely to be worth the money you cant spend on the entertainment value alone.

Though if alcohol is a problem for you? All of that is just an underlying sign of deeper issues, you know some say the alcohol demon is always waiting in the depths for them. They are off course fools and ignorant of the nature of demons. I say that purposefully making your system and mind slower and weaker while being in the slums and the depths of life's wows. Well that is like lighting candle for any demons you may be harboring, or even any that are just be near by, to have there play and call time. May as well ring the diner bell...Ding Ding.


Though I am quite sure you will get better if you keep at it, its generally how things work. Just like in the army, if you practice on how to shoot your rifle or whatever else you guys get up to there, well you will get better at it.

And if you keep at getting better you will get better, but if you keep persisting at not getting better? Well don't be surprised when you will not get better. It all practice no matter what it is, if you practice at getting better and staying away from that fire water, well? Baring some circumstances and even despite them you will get better at doing just that. But if you keep practicing on how to drink alcohol, guess what? You will also get better at doing that. Drinking and pissing yourself that is. Funny how life works no?

In all, I suppose what you are experiencing can be considered as an issue. Congratulations, I gave this thread a star just because it is and may be one that is not a complete none issue. Amazing I know, have not seen one of those in years on ATS, especially durring election season.
