Alcoholic and training

I eat sensible, because of my diabetes 2. and i do get vitamins trough food. What does multivitamins do?

I dont expect to get old, and i never had a passion for that, but id like to live if my life is ok

Yes, it does. Is this another account of you self-assessing your health instead of seeing a professional?

Seriously, that’s a concern here. A friend of mine had an alcoholic dad who died when my friend was eight. He died of complications of malnutrition/hypovitaminosis B.

My friend drinks as much as his dad did, but he’s a stickler for proper nutrition.

Mmmmm, hash. I’ve had full-melt. Currently I just smoke and vape medical marijuana.

Yes we called it hash, is there a difference beteween hash and cannabis?

It is pure magical thinking to believe that somehow weightlifting offsets any of the damage from substance abuse.

It’s like you’re trying to lift a 30-pound weight with eighty-pound weights fastened to each arm, and another around your neck. Good on you that you can do it, and you’re going to believe what you want to believe, but it sounds to me like this story is constructed to justify the drinking.

What you want (low-consequence heavy drinking) is not possible. I’m sorry.

Hash aka hashish is just the trichomes from the marijuana plant. So, like very concentrated marijuana.

Im afraid i am stuck in my position

Weirdly never worked on me

Then I am afraid that, in good conscience, I cannot lie to you and tell you what you want to hear.

I didnt expect that (my life is far to gone now)

If you’re diabetic, drink multiple liters of alcohol per week, and smoke heavily, you’re doing pretty much the exact opposite of planning to live for any reasonable length of time. Any ONE of those things is a gravely serious health problem in its own right, and the three of them combined seems almost absurdly unhealthy and unsustainable except in the very short term.

Go see a doctor about your health- you’ll absolutely need to get mental health care as part of it- you don’t get where you’re at without something else going on upstairs.

Uh huh. In one sitting. What time frame encompasses “one sitting”.

Assuming the wine bottles are the standard 750ml along with the vodka and cognac liters that totals 5000ml which is more than double the capacity of most adult stomachs. Unless you are puking quite a bit it will take a while to ingest that much liquid.

To put some of this in perspective let’s do some beer math. Vodka and cognac are usually 40% alcohol by volume compared to 5% for beer. A liter is just shy of 3 regular 12oz beers. At 8 times the alcohol content you’re consuming the ethanol of about 22 beers per liter, times two liters is 44, add a third for all the wine which is much lower abv than vodka and you claim to be ingesting the alcohol content equal to about 60 regular twelve ounce beers, give or take, every day that you drink.

Some things don’t exactly mesh with your story. These amounts are not consumable or sustainable. But if any of this is even close to true, holy fuck! When I talk about liking the sauce it isn’t even in the same stratosphere as these amounts and I get pretty baked every weekend. But nothing like this. How often are you passing/blacking out?

I detect some b.s. but if any of this is true you need to get professional help, ASAP!

They are liters, 1000ml, and your body apparently adjust for a while, i guess it would kill a normal person.

I understand that. But the amounts you are claiming are more than the adult stomach can handle, and the BAC you would achieve would routinely be fatal to everyone.

You must go through some kind of withdrawal when you don’t drink. Alcohol withdrawal is the most dangerous, even more that heroin withdrawal. What kind of withdrawal symptoms do you experience?

My knowledge of this stuff comes from the Something Awful forums, so keep in mind that some was sourced, a lot is probably folk knowledge.

The first point that was explicitly made, is that drinking is the worst (reasonable) thing you can do if you are trying to progress in weightlifting. Hangovers and a lack of motivation will keep you out of the gym, and if you go, the hormonal effects of alcohol and beer will make your lifting have a less efficient effect on your body.

The second point, will lifting help undo the damage of drinking, I have never seen discussed. I imagine it would help offset weight gain, but won’t directly prevent or heal liver damage. It is a bit like the joke about ordering an enormous meal along with a diet coke. Ordering the diet coke is better than a regular coke, but it isn’t the main issue.

If the liver damage doesn’t kill you first, you’ll probably bleed out from gastro-intestinal tears, like my 28-year-old nephew. Horrible way to go. These outcomes are pretty much all you’re really training for.

OP, what access do you have to medical care? Do you live in a place that has universal health coverage? Do you have to pay for your own medical care? Do you have some kind of health insurance?

Are you employed? Do you have some kind of health insurance through your employer? Are you retired? Are you disabled? Are you getting some kind of disability income?

If you are drinking as much you say you are and this post is serious, you are absolutely killing your liver and yourself. I suspect you know this, but I’m not a mind reader. You need to find reasons to get youself help. One of my best friends was about your age when he went into a 30-day detox/rehab program. He was a daily drinker. He is one year sober now. Last year, there were weeks that I probably came close to your level of consumption, but not over the course of two days. I’m 46 and I have so far (also just over a year) been able to do it. But it did require the decision to get help, and it took awhile to get there. If you are able to, get psychiatric help (these things often run together), and get yourself into a medically supervised detox unit. It’s never too late to better yourself. They will be able to safely help you come down and ascertain what damage has been done to your body. And – I don’t know if you’re psychologically of this bent – but resist the temptation to beat yourself up for it or labeling yourself by your addiction. We all do things counter to our best interests from time to time. Look at the path forward, should you choose to change. Not to sound trite, but nobody can change you but yourself. I think it’s worthwhile for you to at least consider it. Good luck.

The OP states that he is content to (somewhat) slowly kill himself w/ booze, and is content with the idea that there is nothing he can do about it. His choices.

Not sure what his intention is w/ this thread.
