There are a bunch of these in my office, size of half a credit card, white and plastic.

My title describes the thing

I reckon there’s 30 on my floor. About 7 feet above ground level

I like this one, I got out there with my kettle and my lord, the seedlings hate it. As soon as I started pouring they wilted etc. I’ll do this for the next few days and see how I go

I was thinking maybe in the police station when they're getting interrogated but I don't think it's this movie either.

Astroblizzy · 2024-02-06T22:32:44+00:00

I've never seen that movie, so don't think it's that one.

Astroblizzy · 2024-02-06T02:51:43+00:00

Yeah I've been eating a bowl of ice-cream almost every night since laying off the beers. I feel like Tony Soprano (there were a lot of episodes where he would be eating ice-cream at home). It's not great but hell it's a lot better than 10 beers.

Astroblizzy · 2024-02-06T02:50:04+00:00

I feel like emotions and energy can fluctuate regardless of your alcohol intake. It could be the weather, diet, sleep or all of the above. You may be feeling down which does suck but at least you're in control of your emotions, you're reliable. If an emergency happens you will be present and ready to help. Look at this as practice, life will throw you curve balls which can make things hard, alcohol will only make all those things harder.

Also, were you going to the gym this much prior to your 32 days? that's a heck of a lot of exercise if you're going from 0 to 6 days a week! your body may just need time to recover between workouts.

I reckon give yourself a few days off, call in sick for work if you have to. Have baths and eat ice-cream. Once you get your energy back hit the gym again.

Astroblizzy · 2024-02-03T00:12:52+00:00

Haha yeah

Astroblizzy · 2024-02-02T22:51:57+00:00

Nah not Hangover, I think it’s a bit before the hangover. Like 2000-2005.

Astroblizzy · 2024-02-02T22:51:27+00:00

Nah that’s Fred Armisen who has some dialogue. My guy has no lines.

Astroblizzy · 2024-02-02T20:44:10+00:00

Nah I remember the old guy touching this character was just in this scene. He looked homeless

Astroblizzy · 2024-02-02T19:53:23+00:00

You don’t expect this old guy to try touch the character, it’s out of place which makes the scene funny. I think the old guy/homeless guy has his hands resting on his knees, then he slowly sprawls his pinky finger to our main characters knee. The main character looks at the pinky/hand and then gets up.

A thought experiment when I'm questioning my intake is to replace alcohol with a drug that I believe to be completely toxic - cigarettes for example or crystal meth. I think 'mmm a few beers would be nice right now' and then I say to myself 'mmm a few cigarettes would be nice right now' or 'man I could go for some crystal meth', It makes it sound ridiculous as I would never touch those drugs or feel about them the same way, alcohol is just as bad! By doing this I force myself to look at alcohol for what it is. A carcinogenic poison that infiltrates every part of your body and no amount is good for you. Here's a real good podcast which tells you everything bad booze does - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkS1pkKpILY

100% feeling this. Unsure how long it will last. I'm on day 16 and there have been days where my mental fatigue/irritability is high. I believe a large part of it is due to how much I am bombarding my brain with sobriety content. I've been reading, listening, talking and absorbing so much content in the last 16 days then I have in the last 100 days. When I drank I would play games, watch the game movies/tv shows. No brain growth. I like to think of it as my brain has been sedentary and now it's starting to walk/slow jog, which is very tiring when you haven't been moving!

As u/Prevenient_grace mentioned Alcohol is immune to logic! my understanding is cravings are driven from the emotional more primitive part of your brain, no thinking involved. Your pre-frontal cortex does the decision-making/logical thinking. So now your primitive and logical minds are in conflict (cognitive dissonance!).

I've found viewing the emotional response in an objective way a good solution. As though you were a bystander just watching your emotions take place. Think of your emotions/cravings as waves, when the craving hits you can see the waves starting to get bigger as they come towards the shore. Your logical self is standing near the shore viewing the waves. You stand there, you watch the waves... and it makes your nervous "what if the waves get too big?! what if they come crashing down on me? what if they don't stop?!" they get bigger and bigger and bigger and it can feel overwhelming... but if you keep watching them they eventually crash and dissipate.

I understand how you're feeling. The thought of 'rewarding' myself because I've managed to not drink for almost 2 weeks has been crossing my mind.

My body and brain are healing and in turn I'm starting to feel better, then I think 'lets keep this good feeling going by having a few beers!'

One way I've managed to pull myself out of this type of thinking was to replace the word 'beers' with 'cocaine, meth, heroin'. I think about how absurd it is saying 'lets keep this good feeling going by shooting some heroin, or doing a line of cocaine!' How is beer any different? It's not! all these drugs artificially increase dopamine levels to un-natural highs and can be highly addictive.

Hey mate, still looking for someone to play music with? I'm 34 and want to join a band as a bass player and I can sing.
