Prayer Request What a bad day - Page 3

**J Diddy** · 03-12-2009, 07:22 AM

Went to work yesterday and had a seizure. The store I was at was about an hour away from my house and they called my wife who came to get me.

While she was on her way I had another seizure. This time I hit the safe hard causing several injuries including a blood filled right ear that I still can't hear out of.

I never had this problem, mostly because I got plenty of sleep, but this looks more and more like my drinking days are officially done.

That's true and a great point.

Yeah, soda is not exactly the best replacement.

Damn guy, you need to get some serious medical check ups. You are way too young to be having this problem. Take care of yourself, it is a short ride anyway.

Ah, that makes sense. Epilepsy is not a condition to be toyed with. Take care of yourself.

Now that I think about it, I worked with an epileptic years ago that was a chain smoker, caffeine abuser, and heavy drinker. He claimed that his "meds were off" when he had his seizures, but there were suspicions that the alcohol was the major culprit.

I didn't really replace it, I've always been a big soda drinker.

I was a weekend warrior type you know, in high school and the younger years downing 15 beers on a friday night, puking your brain out then waking up with the pounding hangover...

Eventually I just decided it wasn't fun anymore.

Sooo, this means your not coming to my xanax and nyquil party?

Mecca · 03-12-2009, 07:52 AM

I've never taken a xanax so I wouldn't even know what it would do to me.

That's what made me cut way down. I'll still have a beer, but no more days of drinking 10-15 a night. The fun of it is just not outweighed by spending half the next day in a fog and feeling like crap. When I was in my teens to mid-20's I could do it with no problem but it takes too much out of me now.

It's like sleeping with Prince Valium.

You take care of yourself, man.

Yes, the sleep is fantastic. And the dreams can get very unusual.

It was fun to wake up next to a chick and be like whoa who are you, and where the hell am I at and how'd I get here? Then not care because my head hurt to much.

I did far more drinking before I was 21 than I have since I turned 21...funny to talk about those days like they are so far gone when I'm only 28.

You are a fast learner, I still do that shit.

I never drank before 21. I guess thats a lie, had a shot of tequilla at my g/f's 16th birthday. But otherwise I was a good girl.

I've watched guys go hungry just so that they could drink, and I've watched a loved one get the shakes at noon just because he hadn't had a drink since the previous day.

I had a hard 5-6 years of drinking... 23-29ish. I think I'm basically done.

I'd rather get... Well... you know.
