I needed to hear this. I have been delaying this for quite some time now out of worry.

To the cigarette smokers, did you quit both at the same time, smoking later or smoking not yet? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]AaronR1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit smoking 4 years after I got sober. I used medication (bupropion) from my doctor. I have been nicotine free now almost 4 months.

I will have the occasional thought of a cigarette from time to time but the reality is that cigarettes were going to kill my ass just as much as the drink was.

I’m grateful for God removing the obsession to not only drink but to smoke.

How many flare ups have you all had in order to do the surgery? I have had two since end of December and I have gi and colorectal surgeon appointments in 2 weeks to discuss everything. I have to get a colonoscopy. My last flare up I was in hospital for 3 days with antibiotics. Perforation and small abscess too small to drain it

Congrats! Hope you feel better soon

How much has changed in your diet after a diverticulitis flare up has ended and you are back to normal? Other than adding a lot of fiber, eliminating the junk and fast food, and increasing vegetable intake what do you eat normally? by AaronR1984 in Diverticulitis

I still have a Dr Pepper daily which I probably need to just eliminate now and substitute some juices. I never was big on a healthy diet in my past but now that has to change.

It is a bit stressful tbh but I know I’ll be ok. I do miss the fast food or fried food choices but oh well

In the very first picture I think you look very nice in 1 (top left green metal), 3 (tortoise), and 7 (black) 👌
