How crazy is this? My alcoholic boyfriend take more or less 25 herb capsule a daytime?
He buys herbs thru a company call Star West. He has plastic boxes full of everything form Milk Thistle, Cats claw, and Echinacea to Horney goat weed.
He drinks in the order of 3/4 liter of Vodka every 2 or so days and takes these herb on top of it. I told him if he did not quit drinking, adjectives of the herbs contained by the wold would not save him. Now he requirements to fix me up a "formula". I think he is crazy. Am I missing something here?
Answer:
Sounds close to he has more than one addiction. With his consumption of vodka on a regular argument, his thought process is distorted...he is not thinking clearly... YES, that is crazy.
I truly fastidiousness about your dilemma...I am sure next to your profession, you have tried to communicate him the harm he is doing, but regretfully because you are a loved one, he isn't going to listen to you. He, and only HE..when HE hits rock bottom, be it strength wise, regulation wise, or a loss of you will he want professional help. My heart go to you...please keep within touch. I am a good listener, be there, I can relate!
he is a dingle berry manufacture him suffer piss in his vodka
yeah..its call a good man ;)
hold looking......
Ouch... Thats way over excessive.... Im sorry. Hes get a problem and he needs facilitate... And yes- hes trying to sub herbs for his drinking problem. Call a doctor sweetie. Best impression...
Kinda defeating the purpose, I mull over. If you are not just totally surrounded by love, I would consider looking else where. The ocean is full and not all of them are poisoning their body near one thing and trying to cure it beside another. Good luck to you.
Is that before or after he drives over to pick you up for a date? Dump him! He's probably a functional alcoholic ... aim that he's able to function seemingly unimpaired by the alcohol, but he's in actual fact completely impaired! Like the prospect of wrapping yourself around a cellular phone pole? You know it's a fact that the drunk aft the wheel usually get out of their wrecked car nearly unscathed while the sober occupant die. That's because the sober ones see the accident unfolding and brace for impact, which within turn, causes massive injury. The drunk is so relaxed, they usually freshly slide around in their form and get up and stride away! Nice, huh?
I am puzzled by the herbs, too. He is apparently trying to assist himself, but has no control over the alcohol (or does he even want to stop the drinking?) I hold heard that Al-Anon is a accurate program for families or those close to alcoholics. Maybe they could oblige you sort it out.
Good Luck!
He's taxing his liver.
He is trying to compensate for the damage that his alcohol consumption is doing. It may relieve to some extent but he's only prolonging the unwell effects of drinking that much. Everything in moderation (alcohol & herbs) is best for him.
Welll nearby are certainly herb that help the liver (some of them you tabled in your question) and I'm sure your boyfriend's liver requests all the lend a hand it can get. But thinking that taking herbal supplements will fix the incapacitate being done by 3/4 liter of vodka every couple of days is close to thinking taking vitamin C will completely protect your lungs from smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a afternoon...it might delay the problem awhile...but eventually it will corner up with him.
Plus you can remind him that his liver isn't the simply thing person damaged by his alcoholism. There is his cardiovascular system, his kidneys, his digestive tract (especially the esophagus), his brain cell, etc.
There is a difference between an alcoholic and a heavy drinker.
unquestionably, via his creative approach he is seeking some form of arcane harmonize ;-) is his natal chart some combination of pisces, aquarius, leo and virgo? at least he'll never be dull ;-)
