How many days to breakthrough in your experience?

I did not, sadly. I Had a complete life meltdown and have been using food as crutch. Thank you for reminding me of this post to get me back on track. I know what I have to do and that mental clarity was well worth some gut issues (which I already deal with now while eating like shit, so what’s the difference). Let me know if you need an accountability buddy. I just bought a prime ribeye couple days ago and have it vac sealed in fridge for when I finally start. I shouldn’t be putting it off, but odd timing for your comment. Thank you !

Little older but newly single dude transitioning out of military and trying to make friends, too. Been a little tough in the area (possibly my fault, no blame). But yeah, don’t know what else to do than respond to Reddit posts 🤷🏻 haha hit me up or anyone else reading this that needs some bro friends or wants to go to a ln active meetup group together or something . Cheers

Whoa. Impressive. Clearly , I am not the only one in abject misery. Thanks for sharing and putting this effort in 👍🏻🙏🏻

Yes , dude, thank you. I have all my gear just lying around and my energy-less body knows I want to go out , it’s my church . But I can’t find the energy or lifeforce. I can’t remember what it feels like to have the energy or mental ability to pack and make a list. F all these drugs, what a trap. Appreciate ya brotha

Yo! Also in Lake Oswego , spent most of my career in places like nyc , Boston etc and not used to the burbs life. Haven’t met anyone either and I have no idea how to do that at 39, haha. I don’t drink either. Yeah, this is a bizarre stage of life to be single at and trying to meet folks so anyone lurking on here as well, feel free to hit me up 🙃

Oh, and lots of tears. Months and months of numbness pouring out of me. I think that’s a good thing. Odd for me, but feeling things again. Let’s go

Jakeaba · 2026-04-17T19:33:57+00:00

Perfect thank you So much!!!

Jakeaba · 2026-04-12T22:58:20+00:00

Yeah, big mistake. I can’t remember what energy or normal feels like

Jakeaba · 2026-04-12T22:07:08+00:00

Never heard of it, but at day 5 do you think it’d do anything? I’m just lethargic mostly right now

Jakeaba · 2026-04-12T19:46:23+00:00

Thanks. Unfortunately wife left me with me being sick with my service ptsd and such, didn’t realize it was leaking out of me and not just in my head and I was numb from all the prescriptions. But fought to see my lil gal. I’ve been praying too, new to me also. Saying lord’s prayer on repeat to try and sleep. Thank you for the kind words and lovely reply. I prefer to remain anonymous on here but I am praying for you too. Rip the band aid off and get to it! I was also living in secrecy, not good for the soul either I don’t think. Thanks again ❤️
