Re: To the Ol Drunkards
Some of our beloved have died. Some have moved on to other ways of life. Some, like Grumpy, have changed a lot. I think--no, I know--he is sick. He has lost the joy of drinking and moved on to a scary stage. I spent an hour or so picking glass out of the rug when he smashed a light fixture that was nowhere near where he needed to be to get more booze or go to bed. He has lost his joy. He is, and has been for a couple of hours, been lying face down on the floor, right beside where I vacuumed and picked up with my hands all the glass chunks of a light fixture that he somehow wandered into, even though it was a long way from where he should have been going, and blocked by some things we are moving. I am scared. Last year, I tried to get him some help, and I ended up in a spot of trouble myself. No one will listen. During the day, he seems normal. At night, he loses his mind.
At first, I notice he starts to have difficulty following a conversation. Then, he gets verbally combative. Then, he falls "asleep" in his chair. But so far, over the last year or two, he has managed to sort of wake up, and stumble into various things and break them, and hurt himself. I have learned how to clean blood stains out of rugs. This happened when we were in the old house, and I thought it would be better when we moved to a one story place, but it continues. The children do not believe me. I don't know what to do. I gave up drinking for a few weeks, but he just drank it all himself. I bought what was supposed to taste like bourbon but was non-alcoholic, but he found the bottles.
I guess most drinkers just drink, but some get physically addicted? I didn't give two sh**s about not drinking all those weeks I was in the ICU and hospital, and undergoing cancer treatment all summer and all that boring stuff, but I jolly well went back to my usual routine once I was off all that.
oh crap. i'm sorry. i just now realized that i totally highjacked a thread. also i heard grumpy and i'd better go check on him.

Re: To the Ol Drunkards
Sounds familiar. I had an ex girlfriend like that.
I sadly have no good adivce for you. You have been together for so long, so calling it quits is outta the question.
Maybe make him eat more and have him pass out from over-eating?!
Damn I`m dumb I really have no idea
Drink!

Re: To the Ol Drunkards
We are at the age where we do not eat that much--actually, we've never been big eaters, and Grumpy has always been a fairly slim guy. Neither one of us will ever pass out from overeating. He's okay right now, but I stay up late--not really a problem since I don't sleep much--to make sure he doesn't wake up and run amok. So far this year, I've had to throw away a very nice jewelry box that I had just bought, set aside for repair two other boxes, clean up glass from a few oops, and I am still picking glass out of the rugs from the big light fixture--btw does anyone have any handy hints on how to get bloody vomit out of a rug when you've already tried the standard remedies?oettinger wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 10:16 amSounds familiar.

I was going to post a picture; but, we're still using a BBS hosting site that is antiquated. C'mon Frank... update this platform.
