there are medications and things that can help you deal with withdrawal but if your going cold turkey on an actual hardcore addiction, it will stop you dead.

I'm assuming that your character is going cold turkey so to make it true to life you need them to be literally writhing in pain almost constantly for a few weeks.

First of all...wow. Thank you so much for sharing. That can't have been easy.

When you felt the need to drink, right before you drank, what was it like? Did you feel like you were really sad? Or even really thirsty? In other words, what emotions and feelings were you feeling, in the moment, right before you reached for a bottle?

Your welcome.

It was boredom, boredom and depresssion. I started because I was bored, but the drinking made my life worse so I got depressed and drank more. So I guess you could say the thoughts and emotions that I felt right before I reached for a drink were sadness and a need to have something to do.

Hope this helps, I can't think how else to describe it.

Well, ok then.

I'm a recovering alcoholic, I'm 21. I'm a genius, as in I have an IQ of one, and found school way too easy. I was bored and some part of me decided that to deal with that, I would cut classes and go get drunk in the park with some of my friends. This led to me failing exams and not getting into college. Which in turn led to me being unemployed and bored, so again I turned to alcohol to combat the boredness. I stopped even looking for jobs and just drank alot. A year ago, I ended up in hospital after passing out in the street, breaking my arm in the process some how, and a good samaritan being concerned for me. This isn't what stopped me drinking though. What stopped me was that, whilst in hospital, I couldn't get any alcohol and the effects it had on me made me realise I needed help. I started feeling sick, and irritable, it started out as me just snapping at the nurses and doctor, and my friends who came to see me. Eventually I got to the point that I was in withdrawal so bad that I tried to physically attack my sister because she brought me the wrong magazine. Seeing her face when I lashed out stopped me from hurting her, and made me want help. The doctor realised that I was an addict and gave me the information of a rehab near me and the staff psychologist talked to me in the hospital. (Been sober for a year now)

Any other information you might need just ask, but thats my story. *Shrug*

What kind of addiction does your character have? Only want to know so I can see if my story is relevant before I share it.

I still want California, but if he were to go to England it would make sense to go to more then one stop

I was thinking along the lines of if he were to do a European tour or something, then he would only need one or two places in each country. None of them are really that big

Anywhere along the south coast of england. London is so busy smelly and has no friends

nah somewhere in the middle, like York!

It's a small enough country that it's a short enough drive for everyone when it's in the middle. (This is if he were to only go to one place in Britain)

Also, the Waterstones in York has the SF&F section downstairs (underground essentially) So we could all dissapear and geek out

London, England.
Or Edinburgh, Scotland.

Please? Some where in the UK would be fantastic!

Quote from: shades of grey on January 30, 2011, 09:50:53 PM

Edinburgh would be Epic.

(Although as I am geographically closer to London being in Sussex it is shooting myself in the foot a little.)

Haha I wouldn't mind where in the country as I am geographically exactly half way down (or up, depending on how you look at things

). So yeah anywhere will do!

Except for the fact that Harry has mentioned on more than one occasion that the Faery Queens can appear how they want, it's possible that Mab/Molly chooses to not look like Molly BECAUSE Harry would notice.

I personally think Molly is Maeve because . . .

Quote from: polkaneverdies on June 24, 2010, 06:15:16 PM

I am surprised that no mention has been made of Maeve's fashion sense.
