This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Excuse me, NO, this is deadly medical misinfo. Detox is individualized, first and foremost. We don't know what an individual patient is going to experience when they detox or what complications they could have.

Furthermore, we have no idea what this person is drinking in a day. All we know is that they're having two to four times the alcohol than the average person drinks when they get sent to detox while drinking in the mornings before their appts with me. 4 just to get to baseline is indicative of severe use disorder, though we cant tell without more info.

You have to remember, someone drinking four drinks in the middle of work is easily drinking "a bottle" a day as-is. Work is when they tone it DOWN.
