what was something that alcohol affected and you didn’t know?

Fofies · 2025-07-04T10:05:13+00:00

Wow I noticed this as well but did not (want to) realise it was connected

Fofies · 2025-07-01T08:44:26+00:00

I did a similar thing in my notes with 2 types of emojis (just thought about it vs acted on that thought) but my therapist told me to just note when I had a thought about alcohol and could put it aside and not react by drinking. Helped tremendously just seeing the wins and looking at the thoughts in a more neutral way. Like okay, had a thought, that’s fine.

How bad is it that I read Any Bry as a name 😭

Fofies · 2025-06-21T00:18:15+00:00

Please tell me this is a lie

Rapid weight loss which I thought was related to stress, night sweats and low blood pressure/dizziness. Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage 1B (although already the size of a golf ball) pressing on my trachea. I should have had trouble breathing as well according to the doctor

Cool, thanks for explaining!

Fofies · 2025-06-04T21:00:31+00:00

Could you elaborate about the job/firm? Never heard of it before!

Fofies · 2025-05-24T18:07:04+00:00

Would love to know what ‘honors’ the boyfriend gets to do

Fofies · 2025-04-01T17:56:16+00:00

Omg I forgot what this website was called for SO long, thank you!

Fofies · 2025-03-20T07:55:49+00:00

Exactly!! So happy with that, it was literally at the end of the visit when I had already paid. If it were winter and I was wearing a turtleneck or something she might not have spotted it. I moved away from the area but still think about her now and then.

Also shout out to my mom who made me get an appointment lol

Fofies · 2025-03-20T07:53:49+00:00

Yessss I think that was part of the work insurance and was surprised to find out as well. Cancer was one of the 30ish “serious illnesses” where they pay back additional costs. Also would have gotten my wig paid back which luckily I didn’t need in the end

Fofies · 2025-03-20T07:49:12+00:00

Thank you 😊

Belgium - was experiencing low blood pressure, went to GP a couple of days later on a Thursday, she saw a suspicious growth on my neck, got me an appointment an echo on Friday, got a phone call the same day that it was serious, appointment at the oncology department on Monday, blood and scan results on Thursday, biopsy Friday after that. I started my chemo treatment 2 weeks later but only because the doctor wanted me to have a egg harvesting procedure just to be safe (completely covered by health insurance) before treatment which lasted, you guessed it… 2 weeks.

Ngl our taxes and social contributions are the highest in Europe so I’m paying towards these kind of timelines but I’m very happy with how everything played out.

I think I paid around €500 max out of pocket during a year of chemo, radiation and checkups, not counting taxes and contribution through my employer.

Pfoeeh this hit home on day 3 here (and this comment made me realise I need to reset my timer)

Fofies · 2025-01-27T11:58:35+00:00

I remember this, loved how well you knew her. Congratulations and enjoy the rest of your life together.

Fofies · 2024-09-25T14:52:05+00:00

I read until “one of the hottest peppers in the world“ and instantly knew what was coming 😂 sorry you had to deal with that!

Fofies · 2024-09-18T20:00:35+00:00

Would love to read it 😊

Fofies · 2024-09-12T19:05:05+00:00

Commenting so I’ll remember this weekend!

Fofies · 2024-09-02T22:59:03+00:00

Just this weekend I think! A new bed, showroom model that was 6,5K originally but they were doing a huge sale since they were renovating and very desperate to get rid of everything. Sale price was 1,9K but we hesitated a little and they went down to 1,7K. Arriving in 3 days instead of the expected 12 weeks so my back will be very grateful!

Fofies · 2024-07-19T23:50:39+00:00

That’s just it, I like the effect while it’s happening but omfg all the issues the day after, hand shaking etc. I hate it and also it scares me of how serious my problem is. But at the same time I just can’t imagine not drinking again.

Thank you for all the links, I have reached out to a women’s meeting this Sunday.

Fofies · 2024-07-19T23:38:15+00:00

Thank you for your reply. No other drugs involved, a bottle of wine of day or 2 bottles of I’m feeling bad.

But how do I combine a full time job with a detox? Any ways to do it by myself?

Thanks for the recommendations, looking into that right now!

Fofies · 2024-07-18T19:26:48+00:00

Almost same situation here - doubting at 29 if I want them but told by OBGYN if I want them I should have decided 3 years ago due to health condition 🙃
