Question by Llesenia: Please help!!!! i want to help my boyfriend stop drinking so much?
well my boyfriend has been drinking since he was about 15 now he is 21, he’s drinking before when he was younger he told me was pretty heavy & also drug consumption, now he doesn’t do much drinking if he does drink its sometimes on the weekends when he hangs out with his friends. But my concern has always been that even though now he doesn’t drink as much but im thinking he has damaged his stomach to the point now he just started throwing up & there’s blood in the vomit, before he would tell me he had a stomach pain that he would get on the right side of his stomach by his belly button. That pain he told me went away but just last night after he drank & he is a heavy drinker when he drinks he told me after he took a nap he woke up feeling bad & was throwing up blood i want him stop i know i cant make him but i don’t want to lose him i love him very much with all my heart but i cant stand see him hurting himself more & it leading to worse.

Answer by A
He needs to see a doctor to treat the physical symptoms and then he should probably either join a program or talk to someone who can help him learn the tools to stop drinking. It sounds like he’s done a lot of damage to his body with all this drinking and he should stop if he wants to be healthy and keep on living. Excessive drinking is very bad and can destroy your liver and lead to many health problems in the future.
Vomiting blood isn’t a good sign, so get him checked out.

Answer by Durable Med
I’m a former nurse, and I’m going to give you perhaps the most well-kept secret in the alcohol and drug rehab business. I wish I had known about it while I was in the medical business.

This will not be what you expect, but go along with it till you finish. Because I’m going to give you an entirely different direction.
You are concerned for him, because he’s obviously doing himself damage, and it doesn’t look like he’s very well motivated to quit. And you’ve indicated that he had done “drugs” before. And when you say “leading to worse” the narcotics can be the next direction.

Ya know, you’re going after it all wrong. He is addicted because he’s trying to make up for a physical deficiency in endorphin production. To hell with trying to abstain, or talk therapy, or all the other efforts that have a dismal success rate. The two of you need to try a different path.

Seems like it’s past time to learn how to have his body make more personal morphine to avoid having to continue on the same endless loop.

Interested?

He is making a lot less of the personal morphines than most people make naturally, and don’t understand that narcotics, alcohol, self-inflicted injuries, etc. are a way of self-medicating. Even bulimia, because the body makes endorphins after vomiting. As well as running, binge-eating, bungi-cord jumping, fast cars, illicit sexual encounters, excessive gambling, kleptomania, etc.

He is likely only producing about a third of the endorphins that the “normal” person makes. But there’s a way to cause his body to make a lot more, and by using an alcohol rehab drug, Revia, to do it. Now, that’s the making of an Urban Legend, except for being true.

I’m gonna tell you a story. In the early 1980’s, the narcotics addicts were filling the New York jails, and if they were probated, they went right back to robbing, burglarizing, mugging, etc. to get their next fix. Well, a drug was approved, called Naltrexone. Trade name Revia, and others, depending on where it’s made, etc. You could give the addict the Revia at the local community center as the term for their probation. They swallow it down, and stay in the room for a half hour. After that, free to go. Because even if they were to throw up, it would be sufficiently absorbed.
The Revia is an oral version of naloxone (Narcan), which ties up the body’s narcotic receptor sites. A person in respiratory depression from a narcotics O.D., with enough to kill a horse, could be up and chatty within minutes after an I.V. push of Narcan.
So there was no point in taking any narcotics, the sites were not available. So the addicts were able to be probated. But, they HATED it. It made them feel terrible, without a way of getting better.

Anyway, a neurologist named Bihari was part of the naltrexone administration. He wanted to know why an addict would go right back to doing it, even though they ran the risk of “cold turkey” if they got caught. He hired a researcher, who found that addicts were only running a third of the endorphins of the ‘normal’ population, so the heroin etc. was a self medication.

Long story shorter, he found that if you give the addict a small portion of the naltrexone, at bed time, the body checks its supply around 2 in the morning, finds it at zero, and brings the endorphin level to as much as 5 times what it would have been. So the addicts were waking up WITH NO NEED FOR THE HEROIN.

So, how would you like to have your boyfriend’s own body making up to 5 times the morphine it does now? Would you like to have him no longer feeling the need for the alcohol? I’ll take your answer as a “yes” since you already asked the question.

Think about that, and read the article at the first site I’ve given, go from there. All he would have to do would be to ask his doctor for a one-month prescription for Revia, to “try it”. The Low Dose thing needs to stay his secret. And at the low dose protocol, a month’s supply actually becomes a full year’s worth, and costing maybe a dime a day.

But the Low Dose protocol will never be FDA approved, it would be too expensive for something that went generic over a decade ago.

And as an aside, does cancer cause problems for many of his family? Or autoimmune issues like Rheumatoid Arthritis? The endorphins are needed to show the immune system what’s supposed to be there and what’s not. Poor signalling means poor directions for the immune system.

I hope I’ve given you a reasonable direction.

Answer by bamfgrl23
Why do you think they have methadone clinics??? Heroin is extremely physically addictive.

Answer by dantea_2007
I dont believe that because it is proven that narcotics like weed, cocaine, heroine..etc. are addictive and even cigarettes are addictive because your body is used to those extra endorphynes (dont think thats spelled right) but when it starts to deplete they want more therefore causing the person to seek more drugs….

Question by John D: Are there any congressmen (house or senate) who favor changing the “war on drugs” to something more rational?
Many people believe the “prohibition” approach to marijuana and other “illegal drugs” is not working and will never work. They think it should be replaced with a “regulation” model similar to what is used with alcohol. Evidence: it’s well known that teenagers can obtain “illegal drugs” easier than alcohol or tobacco! That’s how well the current “war on drugs” is working.
