    Just started reading a novel this morning before I had to go to work. Filling my brain with literature just might be the ticket to give me something more interesting to think about than my family.

    I wish I had some cannabis indica.

    Are you sure weed isn't just a substitute for alcohol?
    Any chance that using weed is perpetuating the cycle of addiction?

    I only ask because that how it was for me.
    You don't have to answer, but it is an idea to consider.
    Metalhead
    Any deity out there, please give me the strength to purge my brain and heart of false beliefs force fed to me by my blood throughout my life.

    Being a drunken moron is not who I am. Escaping through a bottle is not who I am. Eating junk food and being a slob is not who I am. Damn my family for telling me I am who I am not. I can make my own healthy path without them.

    I think you're going to like the sober and healthy path a lot more, and even feel better in the process!

    Self-esteem really is the key to a better life.
    Being kind to yourself is important.

    I wish I had a complete aversion to alcohol. I wish I did not love that poison.

    Get a blood test and have a look at the health of your liver.
    It puts you in overdrive in doing the right thing if you have a fatty one.
    A great incentive to turn your life habits around.

    One week sober as of today. I did an Instacart order for delivery later today, and I did my best to ignore the ads for beer and gin that they were pushing on me, seeing as I have ordered both of those things on Instacart in the past.

    Staring temptation in the face and emerging victorious. Keep it up. Every small victory is one to celebrate.

    Four days sober once again. I hate how Instacart is currently trying to push me to buy more alcoholic beverages from Fred Meyer.

    It is a battle. Try clearing your cookies. And if it's on your phone you could also disable the audio permission on google and instacart 🤷‍♀️ just a thought might help. Keep the fight. I'm in a 4 day Tramadol kick and was an addict for 10 years. The fight is hard but keep going. ❤️

    The addictions we must stare down every day (like alcohol) might be the toughest ones. Don't rely on willpower... find tools to help you make sobriety last.
    Metalhead
    I wish quitting alcohol did not come with as many side effects, and I wish I was not so stupid as to put myself through them all over again.
    Rodafina

    Remember that cold turkey quitting alcohol can be dangerous if you were drinking enough. Unlike some other drugs, alcohol withdrawals can be actually dangerous. You probably know this, but please don't hesitate to seek medical advice here.

    Have you ever considered inpatient addiction treatment?

    I want to hide from the world and fast for a few months, then return to the world being thinner after hibernation all winter.

    Feeling the same way right now the journey is hard.

    I broke my alcohol sobriety a month ago, and now I am getting back on the wagon. I feel spiritually weak.

    I wish for you to find your strength. It is there, just waiting to be slowly uncovered so it can shine again.

    I wish I could be ok with my own discomforts while knowing others have it much worse.

    You and I both know that your mother doesn't have any power over you unless you allow it.

    When my cousin stole $2000 worth of games from me, she lied to my uncle and told him my cousin was too much of a good boy to do anything like that. He got away with that because of my mother’s lies.

    This is all in the past. Stop looking behind you because you're not going that way.

    I wish I had a large gauge cigar. And a bourbon on the rocks. And time today to enjoy those things.

    Most likely.

    Wanna hear the one about caffeine?
    The girls at the sleep over running upstairs to tell my mother
    they thought I was dying?

    It was nothing that severe, but a spectacular case of hives....

    Damn, @tree you have me beat. I mean no disrespect. I wish your life were better.

    Thanks.

    My body gives me many helpful reminders of what not to do.

    I feel blue, blue like the Navi
    Because every food that I love hates my body
    Pity me, pity me, I deserve your sadness
    Compared to me, everyone is full of gladness

    OK, that was the best sad song I could come up with in 30 seconds.

    I wish gerd pain would go away permanently right now. I wake up with it most mornings these days.

    I am going to write a sad country ballad - Every Food I Love Hates My Body, Especially the Beer

    That's a tune I know as well. No fun saying good bye to so many foods we loved. :(

    if it is really really bad, doctors can prescribe a few different medicines for GERD ....because if it is really really bad it can lead to bleeding ulcers and other bad things...

    Just saw Avatar 2 in the theater in 3D. I missed it the first time around. It sure looks better like that than in 2D on my TV.

    I thought the storyline was pretty amateurish. There were too many things that seemed arbitrary and added as surprises without background. It was not internally consistent with the original.

    Did weight training this morning. I feel the burn in my arms, shoulders, biceps, triceps and core abs. I ate a high protein low carb lunch afterwards.

    Nope-nope-nope. Watch your protein...especially with red meat. A major no-no for anyone suffering from gout.

    Oh yeah, I forgot that @Metalhead has gout, now I remember him mentioning it in the past. Maybe non-protein weighted nutrition drinks like Ensure or Glucerna?

    l serve my guy delicious meals with green pea powder mixed in, potato salad, mac-cheese, faux crab macaroni salad Hawaii style. l mix in chocolate protein in his grits in the morning. l figure out how to mix protein powder into everything. lol
    Because a heavy red meat diet doesn't do him any good.
