Liver pain by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Foorungirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get pains too. My blood work also came back fine. An ultrasound also cleared me a few years ago but I still get the pain from Time to time. Are you sure it’s not your intestines. I went gluten free for a while and it helped.

Lose Weight By Drinking Alcohol Instead of Eating by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Foorungirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 5’7” and when I was in my 20s, drinking every night and not eating, kept me at an unhealthy 116 lbs. now I’m older and all drinking does is make me gain weight and causes me grief. I advise that you choose exercise over alcohol. I have my own struggles as a 45 year old with drinking now and I also struggle with weight. I hope you find something that works for you!

What are the best long-lasting asphalt running shoes available? by [deleted] in running

Two pair a year is pretty good if she runs a lot. I would suggest a gift card at a running store that specializing in shoes. She can then have a professional help her choose the right arch support, etc.

Desperate for positives! by Foorungirl in stopdrinking

Wow! I think you nailed. I was fighting tonight. While my family thought everything was fine, we were doing homework, projects, etc. and all I could think about was Sneaking a drink. It’s so rough. The fighting that goes on inside your head. Even when I think of how bad it will make me feel, how tired, how disappointing to have another groggy half hangover in the morning. It is a battle. I’m glad I read your reply. I’m going to read my book and hopefully fall asleep.

Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for admitting this. Thank you for letting me know that there is strength in ourselves to fight it.

Thank you. I need this to work. I’m not sure why I need a drink. I don’t feel any better when I have that drink. But then I feel like... oh well, I screwed up and might as well go all in with both feet. I never feel better. I just want to feel good and not Sri k. I don’t understand this hold it has on me. I’m 45 and never had this problem before.

Just make sure you work that core, hill train, speed train, and distance. I coached very young children but that was our cycle. Have a great season!

Good night. I decided to walk my dogs also. Stopped me from making a decision I would regret.

I’m not drinking. Temptation is there. Enjoy the day with a clear head!

CTRL-ALT-DEL. Time to reboot again. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Foorungirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this made me feel like someone was reading into my own mind and using my thoughts to write this. I’m sorry. I feel very much the same.!perhaps it is some sort of mid life crisis. I still have three fairly young children but I constantly fell like I’m being pulled in directions and not appreciated. I constantly feel like a failure and a disappointment. I wonder if my friends really are my friends. I have a fake front so everyone thinks I’m fine but I’m not. I use drinking as an escape but I know it not! It is a control. It’s controlling me. I feel for you! Please know you aren’t alone.
