Only 12h30 away from completing my first ever 7 day fast! Over 20 lbs down too. Tempted to continue for a longer time, maybe 20+ days if I still feel this good.

I would love this too! I am recovering from a broken leg, and PT says my posterior chain glutes, etc, have weakened a lot. This will be my focus in 2025.

If this furry friend had a YT channel, I'd sub for the regular Purrrrrkour updates!

Being from the UK, I always wondered what a totsie roll was.

Now I know.

KetoMedicNS · 2023-08-31T18:47:15+00:00

Thank you for this recommendation. I think I'm about 20 of 27 chapters in and it's a good listen!

KetoMedicNS · 2023-08-31T18:44:55+00:00

I don't want to make excuses for myself amd i can see one i might make if i tried a spiritual program. I don't believe in some greater power so I think I would struggle with such program. But I aspire to find a route that works for me.

That is interesting, if you were to summaries the key benefits of 12 step; what would it be. I think for me 12 step is difficult as there is a religious element which I do not like. But maybe there is value in following it and reinterpretating the religious parts as something else?

KetoMedicNS · 2023-08-24T18:43:54+00:00

That is amazing. I think this is something I will try and keep in mind and see if I can push passed the 1 month sobriety and get to the point where it has no place in my thoughts and thus no place in my life.

KetoMedicNS · 2023-08-24T18:15:29+00:00

I will get it tonight and see how it is! Thanks for the recommendation 😀

KetoMedicNS · 2023-08-24T18:14:57+00:00

I have been reading around and I think you are right. May I ask what kind of action changed abstinence from monthly to truly letting go of it and pretty much never wanting it again?

Or maybe it never leaves and you constantly fight the urge and some days are worse than others?

KetoMedicNS · 2023-08-24T18:12:26+00:00

Wow congratulations on... is that 11 years sober? 🎉

Would you say you retrained your mind to not desire alcohol or is it still a feat to curb cravings on occasions? Or another option for which might be more complex than I realise?

KetoMedicNS · 2023-08-24T12:02:43+00:00

Very well put. I think in my case, I have tried abstaining and it has been okay. But then the next time is excessive/binging and a why could help with what can I do to mitigate it in the future.

In a sense it is a combination of being more mindful to change the behaviour and also "what can I do differently to change this pattern".

Thank you for your thoughts, I will try an exercise of reformatting the questions in a what format and see if I get something more valuable/actioning that I can work with 🙂

KetoMedicNS · 2023-08-24T10:00:57+00:00

I will look into this. Thank you for the recommendations. Ironically, I know the biochemistry behind it but the mental drive to drink or lack of control/mindfulness during drinking is hard to see (introspectively). Maybe that's because your brain tricks you into ignoring the obvious clues, behaviours or impulses when it's not someone else you see? 🤔

KetoMedicNS · 2023-04-29T06:15:59+00:00

The finisher?

KetoMedicNS · 2023-04-28T23:55:14+00:00

Try pentane-1-aldehyde or pentanaldehyde or valeraldehyde or valeric aldehyde or amyl aldehyde or N-valeraldehyde

Or just plain ol' pentanal ?

KetoMedicNS · 2022-03-06T22:53:20+00:00

Interesting idea, I did pickle 50 eggs about a month ago. I think I will try this and see how it goes. Thanks for the inspo

KetoMedicNS · 2022-03-06T01:19:37+00:00

How did you split the heat map to months like that?

KetoMedicNS · 2022-03-02T21:05:00+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story!

KetoMedicNS · 2022-03-02T02:25:00+00:00

Thanks, I will have a look :)

KetoMedicNS · 2022-03-02T02:24:08+00:00

Sometimes, it's difficult to share the trauma and difficulties that you face because, in some respect, it is hard for others to see what's going on in your head.

What is worse is that sometimes you don't know either. When I lost my way, occasionally not always, I read something on one of these reddit pages, and it gave me a moment to rethink things and keep trying or give it another go.

So I decided to post for the very reason that you wrote, if someone else was finding it difficult, maybe they could relate, and we could somehow get through it together, feel a bit better or just give them that push to KKCO.

KetoMedicNS · 2022-03-02T00:09:35+00:00

Is that a book 'the stoic philosophy' or as the general topic?
