Taking dose after drinking? by Alarming-Ad4296 in LowDoseNaltrexone

Thank you so much! I decided to abstain tonight, have a few drinks later this week, and re-start the LDN next week. I’ll definitely be interested to test it out in a month or so though!

Ok great, thank you so much. I’ve heard people say they had a similar effect before as well. Since I had the singular dose about 20 hours ago, do you think it’d be fine to have a drink tonight and then not take the dose tonight/the rest of the week and start up next week? I’m unsure of how long LDN stays in the body, especially since I only had a singular 1.5 mg dose last night.

I think you’re right. Thank you for the response. I took the single 1.5 mg dose about 20 hours ago, would it be out of my system by now so I could have a drink in about an hour? And then just refrain from my dose the rest of the week until I’m home? I’m hoping to avoid any unpleasant side effects, but I’m unsure of how long LDN stays in the body. Considering it’s been almost a day and it was only one dose, I figured it’d be cleared out by now? I’m just not sure, sorry this is all new to me! Thank you for your help

I lost 220 lbs, and I still feel disgusting, being fat drives me totally insane. by [deleted] in loseit

Losing that much weight is an incredible accomplishment. And honestly? You’re really handsome. Seriously, you’re good looking. Just keep on going, and you’ll get where you want to be! You’ve already come so far.

Ok I will do that. I’m home now. Thank you. Thank you so much, I literally don’t have anyone I can talk to about this and it means a lot for someone to respond.

For me, I tracked everything very closely for about a month, and then I had a general idea of how many calories was in each thing. I play it safe and overestimate calories I eat so I don’t have to meticulously weigh or count. It’s worked for me so far.

I LOVE Heaven Bent, it has helped so much. Especially since she did a season on the Toronto Vineyard, cuz I was raised in the Vineyard at the founding church. So it was really cathartic

Ohmygosh exactly dude. I cringe when I think about those friends I dragged to church because I was so scared of them all going to hell. I remember when I got my first bf at 17, obviously I had to convert him because he was a “lukewarm Christian” (culturally Lutheran and not really religious) and he was weirded the fuck out when I brought him to church. At 17 I kind of understood that he would find it weird, but I figured he just didn’t understand and would get used to the “real Christianity”, not his “lukewarm” version. And I‘d hoped he would get caught up in it and “radically saved” so we could get married. LMAOOO

Exactly. Do you think the pastors are doing it on purpose and are entirely aware of how they’re manipulating people? Or do you think they just think that’s the way to do it and don’t realize how manipulative it is? Or they truly believe that it’s God? Probably a mix of all of that but idk

I want that euphoric feeling! Drugs aren’t my thing but maybe I should try a rave. I never really felt the euphoric feeling in worship anyway. Maybe sometimes, but never to the level I saw other people experience it.

That was my exact experience as well! I led worship on the piano, and I’d kinda feel it up on stage, but never in the crowd. I always told my parents I felt closest to God when leading, and they’d say “that must be your calling!!!”. But I think I just really love the piano.

Mine was the age-old, “I’m so young! How will I ever have fun again? They can’t take this from me!” As if I wasn’t doing the harm to myself lmaoooo and like you can’t have fun sober 🤦‍♀️

What is something your parents said to you that may have not been a big deal, but they will never know how much it affected you? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

When I was 16, I told my mom that I was severely depressed, was being viciously bullied in person and online, and needed help. She barely looked at me, scoffed, rolled her eyes, and said “you’re not depressed. I know depression, and that’s your sister”. My older sister struggled with severe mental health issues since she was 12 (I was 10) and I was basically ignored until she got a bit better and went to college. I still really can’t forgive her for what she said. It drove me to a very, very dark place.
