warning: if paracetamol is Tylenol.....

Hi Impermanence,

I'm an American and I may be wrong about the following but just in case I'm not....

If paracetamol is the same as acetominophen (American Tylenol) then the you probably shouldn't be taking it. The combination of alcohol and Tylenol can cause severe liver problems. If I'm right and they _are_ the same drugs, maybe you could try ibuprofen or aspirin instead. If I'm wrong then what _is_ paracetamol? (I'm trying to learn your language :) )

I'm just out of detox again and drinking already. Just one bottle of wine, but I'm kicking myself for it. Tomorrow I am NOT buying anymore. I've found one thing that helps my cravings. It may sound weird but it's exercise- I walk an hour or more on a treadmill in my home, then by the time I've showered and look decent enough to leave the house to buy, the craving is sometimes gone, plus I'm either feeling good from the exercise or I'm tired from it and can take a nap.

Good luck, I'll be wishing you well.

> It's really really hard at the moment, I woke up this morning with a hangover, took my pills and a few paracetamol, found a drink left in last nights bottle and I CRAVE ALCOHOL right now. All I want to do is drink myself to sleep again.
> I'm working very hard right now to stop myself self from buying a bottle. As you said it's sooo easy to get it, it's just down the street, but it's going to mess me up for yet another day. I'm not sure what I'll do but I'll do my best not to.
