Is my girlfriend spiking my drinks?

[SiSePuede419 1,703]

Any gathering of more than 2 Farangs in Thailand is usually an unofficial meeting of Alcoholics Loudly Non Anonymous

Apparently your not drinking enough. No memory loss or blackouts . Time to pickup your game, there is a good variety of pharmaceuticals that can enhance the fun.

full of low-lifes and I have no interest whatsover in what others have to say

 

i've also heard it's a cult filled with lonely people who don't even have a drink problem

 

going off topic here...

If you have no interest in what others say , why start this thread ?

Well you have already indicated that your drinking leads to arguments with your girlfriend , so there is clearly a problem in addition to weight gain.

I have lost the desire to help people who don't ask for help.

Perhaps you´ve bought fake whiskey or whatever you drink.

More likely your gf is slipping it into your food/drink.

It's fairly common, I had one live with me where I became mysteriously ill after arguments with her.

How do you keep track of them all? there have been so many

Antabus is only a crutch for staying sober. Like a broken leg you should trow away the crutch after a wile and learn to walk without...

The best way to do this is getting in contact with people who did the same.....

[PingRoundTheWorld 1,725]

The fact that you have to ask says you definitely have a girlfriend problem. You better quit her before it gets worse. In any other country I'd say you're paranoid, but Thai girls are capable of anything if they don't get their way. And by anything I mean lie, steal, and physically hurt you. Get out while you can.

Reminds me of my favorite AA joke...

 

A widow was at her husband's funeral, who had just died of cirrhosis.  Someone asked her if he ever tried AA. 

 

Her response:  His drinking wasn't that bad.

 

If drinking isn't causing problems in your life, enjoy!  I mean that sincerely.  If it ever does get bad enough, we have a seat for you.

Well if you want to lose a few kilos go on a diet, cut out beer but drink whiskey and soda. Only drink 4 days a week,  walk everyday....you will lose weight

After a successful month off alcohol I decided the drug wasn't a good long-term option so went back to drinking again

Just don't drink - easy. You don't seem like a typical alcoholic or surely it would take more that a drug that makes you feel sick to stop you drinking?

 

When I'm in Thailand I have varying amounts of alcohol most days but I only visit for 2 weeks. I may go out for the full night and get ratted or I may just have one drink later on. When I'm back in the UK I rarely drink.

 

I saw my father's life (+ my mother's sisters and brothers lives) wrecked by alcohol which eventually led to his death. I swore I would never let alcohol control me.

 

I think a lot of people feel they have to drink or they're not a 'real man'. At my 'local' in Thailand I often order a mug of tea - because that's what I want at the time. I may or may not have an alcoholic drink later - the choice is mine. Yes, some idiots sneer at me when I order tea but I don't give a damn what others think. I'm in control of what I drink - nobody else.

 

As I said, the choice is mine - but its also yours, think about it.

 

If you feel that you are an alcoholic - then as Sheryl advises above, get help.

So??? Ops! That will then beg the question why you are asking for advice here then?

Sorry I was referring to AA members

 

Most people I meet in Thailand just want people to hear about themselves and it bores me to death, so god knows what AA would be like..

 

To the poster recommending weed - already tried that and didn’t enjoy it

 

Exercise is all that works

I am astonished that you would write asking for comments on this particular behaviour in your life. My advice is go work on your relationship with your no doubt suffering girlfriend and work on  controlling your alcohol abuse. Probably the alcohol in your system brought you to write here on something most people would be too embarassed to share with perfect strangers. Get yourself a decent proper life!!

Once they start poisoning you, I'm afraid there's no reason left to 'work on your relationship'.
