Yeah getting pissed or shyte faced will take your mind off being crook ..... but it will still be there next morning & possibly a hangover.
As for Scotch being a treatment in stroke recovery you're kidding yourself.
Drinking alcohol, especially spirit alcohol hinders stroke recovery because it -
1. Worsens Neurological Symptoms.
2. Dangerous Medication Interactions
3. Increases Recurrence Risk
4. Stalls Rehabilitation Progress
Now you said you've had 2 strokes - any bloody wonder.
Probably why you were driving around getting lost ^ being confused......
then blaming Telstra for your stupidity.
Like I said to you it's "better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt".
I don't know what it is with you, but you have no idea what I have been through. The drinking became regular when the time off work was common and the covid payments had added another third to my income. But after a year of these once a week drinking sessions, I was reminded of something in my life that left me post traumatic stress disordered, that the drinking became a twice to three times a week thing for a while. So, you might as well get off my back about my drinking.
In fact, February 2024 was the last time I had a stroke. And that seemed to coincide with the time I had a prolonged break from drinking prior to the stroke. It took another couple of weeks of headaches before I just went to the bottle-o and bought a half dozen Johnnie Walker scotch and cola premixers. I was okay again in that week. The confusion for my time trying to come back from Gladstone was just because I was unfamiliar with the area. I did believe that the google maps giving me directions to get home would do the trick. But, had it not been for Telstra placing a bar on my phone, I probably would not have done the greatest detour since the days Magellan tried getting home.
Perhaps I could have made a free phone call to Testra customer service to get the phone service sorted. Obviously, being a Saturday afternoon, there were no Telstra stores open. So, the options were limited. Had I known about the issue, I probably would have waited until the next week after the phone service was reinstated. Of course I can blame Telstra. They fixed the problem straight away, given that I was up to date with my payments.
