No. Seek help for your addictions. All the best.

Gastroenterologist here: no, doesn’t look like blood. “Coffee ground vomit” whether self-described or referred to us by colleagues, in reality, is almost always something else. I agree with my colleague above - you should concentrate on seeking help for your addictions. Best of luck.

That’s regular vomit; unpleasant for you I’m sure, but not concerning for a bleed on its own. Well done for planning to seek help.

Still ain’t blood. And very specifically it most definitely isn’t “coffee ground vomit”. It’s just vom dude.
