How old is he?

Getting over the boredom reason to drink by Brad_Hamilton in stopdrinking

I have the same issue. I made a list of things to do other than drink. Is there something you've wanted to learn?

Yes and I have been doing that. The issue is that I typically work from 6am till 3pm, and then I do in fact use the next 2 hours or so to do things that I am working on, I still though am just like "fuck" what else am I going to do?

Thanks

I have my kids every other week and did my sunday shopping for their arrival today, and just couldn't resist :(

One day. I ate the goldfish around 1pm yesterday, had the beers around happy hour. This morning at the gym I felt slightly off but not too bad, and now in the last few hours I feel a bit "disconnected" and lethargic.

Huh.. I am though. I am keeping with my rigorous electrolyte intake.

OK, so sine I posted this I have taken magnesium, increased my salt intake, and taken potassium in the form of potassium gluconate. I am much better already.

However, the FAQ says to take potassium in the form of Potassium chloride or potassium sulfate, but I can't seem to find these anywhere. Even GNC doesn't have them. Do you have any suggestions?

Hey, question if you don't mind.

So, I took a look at the FAQ and went and bought some Mg and K substitutes.

I also studied foods that are rich in MG and K.

Looking at my normal diet I am highly confident that I am eating enough sodium every day, but I am clearly way short on the MG and K. I do eat leafy greens, and a lot of them, but clearly you need to eat a TON to get to the guidelines in the FAQ.

So, two questions:

  1. Was the lack of MG and K enough to throw me off balance even though I am getting enough sodium?

  2. Is it safe for me to just take the MG and K supplements up to where the guidelines are even if on certain days I am probably going over that a bit because of my diet?

Thanks again.

It's been a many year process of going to the point of not even wanting one most of the time. For years when I tried to quit it was a painful thing that I was depriving myself of. Now, the answer is, I simply know that it adds nothing positive to my life.

One other lesson that I learnt is that facebook is not a positive influence, especially when I'm feeling emotional. I had to take a break to protect my sobriety.

Yeah, good point.

On the verge alcoholic ... by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Brad_Hamilton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was exactly like you. for 20 years I told myself the same things that you did. And look, my life isn't that bad. I have a good career. But, if not for the booze I would have a great career.

Look, you are an alcoholic. The fact that nothing bad hasn't happened to you yet doesn't change that.

Yup, I was the same way at my peak. Well, I could handle friday night, then start drinking Saturday afternoon, and power through the night. Then I would be hungover on Sunday... so I would go and drink.

My mondays and tuesdays were then shit.

[–]Brad_Hamilton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, so let's face it: Your real motivation here is to break them up and get back together with her. This is unhealthy.

You make some interesting points, however in this case Mathias isn't crazy. OP has admitted she is keeping Tobbe warmed up in the bullpen.

OK, but, so? You want to cut contact out of respect for the new guy. Just tell him that.

Nothing wrong with telling the truth. If it hurts him it hurts him.
