Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hi guys,

Another post yes, (i'm not spamming, but after living in shame for so long without talking about any of this to anyone, ever... i have a lot of catching up to do!)

no coffee, no alcohol, no smoking, no cheese, no dairy in general....just wondering how you manage it? for me the trade off is definitley worth it - in my opinion, no price is too high for reduced bb. but what i'm finding is how bad it screws my social life up, to the point that i dont have one, and i dont go and meet friends, and definitley dont meet new people

i've never found a way to explain to a person (especially a new person) that i dont want to meet them for a coffee to chat, or meet for a drink after work, or dont want a glass of wine with dinner. i always get weird looks and feel so lame and shitty for not being able to converse with people in normal social situations

been there, you look nuts when you make weird excuses or end up acting weird at the place so guess what we get less invites and they dwindle down to 0 invites! I am living that right now.

I think wine's okay, if you don't overdo it

I am so there. No social life. people dont invite me. One of my close friend used to be close invited me to the wedding shower but not the wedding. I guess she didnt want to have the Stink girl at her wedding.

I didnt blame her because I would have made an excuse not to be there even if she did invite me.

After a while, people start thinking that you are unreliable, liars, a drug addict because you start making excuses every minute to explain why you cant be there/any event/party. They start thinking that you are a bit wacko in the head as well especially if you dont talk much and you keep to yourself.

OMG no. Wine is worse, well 2nd to beer. All that stuff is fermented product, which we need to stay away from... however my breath stinks either way, and sometimes I need a beer to forget about all of this shit. Fvckin go crazy if I could never unwind properly.

My friends have stopped bothering to call, because I shut them all out. Last time I invited my friend over, the night ended in him throwing up, probably because of my breath. Haven't heard from him since!

I definitely try to avoid social situations especially if I know people who don't know about my bb are going to be there. Recently I avoided going to a funeral because I knew family members who I rarely see would be there. I have an extensive growing family where there are several grand-nieces and nephews now and I don't participate in their b-day parties. WHAT A LIFE!!

Some nights only drinking wine I haven't had comments. The most tragic comments have been on beer, or beer+wine, so I guess beer is the worst. Still, drinking too much alcohol is doomed anyway, as it dries us up too much

I remember seeing four lads communicating using sign language. I think two of them could talk but the other two couldn't. They were like four best friends and looked really happy. They were communicating with each other with a big smile on their faces.

We were in an elevator. The funny thing was at the moment i thought that, even I could live a happy life too with my CH problem. But then I was like "If i opened my mouth and smiled like that...". That's a very bad idea!!

The reactions would kill me, ruin the rest of my day even more.
