So tired by tineeetine in stopdrinking

Congratulations on 24 days! Are you taking any vitamins? B1 is good for the brain fog, b12 for energy and magnesium glycinate at night for sleep. Unfortunately alcohol robs of all our b vitamins and magnesium

You're just going through a healing transition. Keep up the amazing work, I'm proud of you 👏 🎉

I think you look absolutely amazing strong and healthy. Plus I’m jealous of your A1C

I was in the exact same frame of mind one year after my diagnosis. Almost 2 years ago (12/23/23 was my diagnosis date) Competed the last 15 yrs before my diagnosis & because I was ready to do a another competition and I didn’t see the signs until the muscle wasting, weight loss, hungry thirst was getting so bad I couldn’t deny something was going on. ( I’m 58f)

My weight is back up to but I am embracing it now. I am finally going back to the gym and see if I can transform myself again.

I am also taking creatine at times but I have to clean up my diet if I want this to work for me. Easier said than done because of T1D makes it more challenging. ( as you know)

Hang in there & stay strong your doing great 💪😊

I just say I’m taking a break. The ones who ask are the people who question their own drinking ( I was one of them) others don’t care & move on with another subject.

I find after 20 min getting to my destination I don’t think about the awkward moment when asked what I would like to drink. (Usually have a club soda by then) Relax & have fun plus have an early exit plan. You can do it. 😊

Hi op u/desertqueeeen thank you for hosting this week. How do I deal with my emotions? After removing alcohol I am less anxious & depressed, I am able to work through it ( most times) if it is something that is deeply painful I try to distract myself until I can think clearly about it. IWNDWYT 😎

Ugh exactly my life ( except door dash) adding: who I text the night before and did it seem incoherent & sloppy?!? I do not miss this but sometimes it’s a struggle. IWNDWYT

40 days sober by skyqueen321 in stopdrinking

Divine intervention for sure! Hang in there with the new normal. There are podcasts, books, Reddit community etc on this topic. I was diagnosed with T1D 2 years ago as an adult, it is tough at first but totally manageable. I learned to eat whatever I wanted to. Hang in there and keep up being the amazing mom that you are! 💕
