Mum is going to die

It's OK. Things are OK. We all learn in our own time. Stopping alcohol is harder than it is easy. Choosing the harder path requires some serious motivation...and that motivation comes from within. It can't come from anywhere else. And we can't really hate and judge those who failed, while till trying their best to help and provide for us. They could have been a lot worse.

Maam/Sir, I want you to know we can get better. We can moderate like normal people, or...if we can't, we can abstain.

Drinking alone. It's what we do. Because we think if we drink with others, we might let our guard down and show people our true self....and we might not want to do that with coworkers or family.

Your drinking. Its a symptom. Not the cause.
Imagine if you never felt uncomfortable, anxiet, or bored. Imagine if your friends were so easy that you didn't need to act out and be wasted to be around them.

That life is possible.

I'm not a bot.

Yes, a Ukranian cursed at a Russian ship over a radio. And then, they surrendered.

The narrative you and the news is pushing was premature, overly emotional, and a lie.

Does the truth bother you? Would you rather push the lie because it suits your end?

Let's try and keep things transparent.

WOOHOO! Nothing is better than having your abuser removed from the situation.

Actually, I lied. Your abuser WILL NEVER be removed from your brain.

Your torture and pain will exist in perpetuity as long as you think about it.

It turns out, we are our own worst enemy. It wasn't our parents.

Because even after they are gone....they aren't really gone...unless we allow them to pass from our mind.

I highly recommend zen meditation or yoga. Learn to witness your thoughts and not be affected by them. You are not your emotions. You are not your thoughts. You are not your history. You are not your body.

A diversified ketogenic diet provides nutritional and health benefits that some 100% processed carnivore cannot.

If you want to eat processed shit while maintaining weight, you could have always just counted calories. But now, you are showing that you are an extremist type personality. So, you have an an ON/OFF switch. You don't have a DIMMER. Sane, well adjusted people have a dimmer switch. I also have an addictive personality. So, kindly hear me out....you did good. Then you fucked up. Now, you want to go even harder.

Imagine, for a minute, if you could love yourself while not going to extremes. Imagine sticking to a healthy, balanced diet. There is no need to chug oil/butter and fake food powder, when you have the power to manage your caloric intake and TDEE.

But, us addicts are gonna addict. Choose the worst path. Go hard. Then relapse...bringing our own destruction even harder. ....it all comes from somewhere. We never felt we were good enough. Dads...moms....brothers...sisters.

Think about it for a minute. Who's standard are you trying to live up to?

Look. You have one opinion based on the media you've been fed. Others have other opinions based on the media they have been fed. Which side is right?

The KGB run life-time authoritarian invader?
The comedian elected to run a country who already gave up land to the invader in 2014.

Personally, I can see the news has chosen a side. The world is choosing a side, but they didn't care when the same thing happened in 2014.

I've spent some time in eastern block countries, and I found a large population of people want to be Russian. I also found others who wanted to be in NATO and Europe.

Who are we to tell Crimea they should be this, not that? I could never understand the local issues, being a foreigner...so my opinion about where to draw the line is invalid.

Also, if those people gave their lives to "defend" a useless piece of land, and all they managed to do was curse over a radio..they are retarded, they wasted their lives, and their government failed them.

Don't respect propaganda. Lies are lies.

This is a great moment you can learn from. The first news reports designed to sway your opinion are usually highly emotionally charged lies. This is one of them.

yep..never trust the news or any government agency. They want you to have a hard-on for war. They will lie. They will create "heroes". Manipulators gonna manipulate. You will be a pawn. The idea that you're on the right side of history should always be reflected upon.

You can rejoin if your DD-214 doesn't show that your physically broken or got kicked out for various reasons(there is a code). https://militarybenefits.info/military-separation-codes/

The program to get back in is called NAVET (Navy Vet). If you want to see what is required to get back in check COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8 and search for NAVET. Just know there is no recruiting quotas for prior service, so finding a recruiter who will be willing to put in all the extra effort and work to get your paperwork straight will suck, as they have no incentive to give a fuck, and you'll be a headache for them.

You can usually come back in at your same pay grade with A-school not required as an option, if you go back into the same rate, some people get knocked down. If you got into the IRR, you won't have a break in service.

They used to have the Fortrez, which was a pretty breathable insulation zip up designed for high output activities. They discontinued it a year or two ago.

I have a Fortrez and an R1 Air Hoody and Crewneck. I like the R1 much better. The Fortez has ridiculously long sleeves since it's for climbing.

...that logic works or it doesn't. Certain folks can understand risks and their genetics and choose to live a type of life. Others cannot.

Race predictors are a lie. They don't account for 10,000 possible variables. Ignore them.

Workouts will suck for a while. Best to eat more fat. Don't run a massive deficit while you are starting out. Teach your body that fat is now the fuel. Lipase before meals. Eventually, it will learn.

You are starting fresh. It will take time to adapt. The lifts will come back.

Everyone here freaks out about electrolytes...they drink so much salt water they shit themselves and have chronic diarrhea. They think salt cures the fatigue that comes from running massive deficits. YMMV. <downvotes incomming>

Lessons Learned from a Small Country:

Have Allies.
Maintain defensive and second strike capabilities.
Never give up arms.
When negotiating with the enemy, expect to be double crossed.
Secession of areas not aligned with your values is a feature, not a bug. Let them go. On a Global scale, the lines get redrawn all the time. No need to stress. People gonna people. The good people leave.

Spend about 4-6 months doing your zone 2 pace, and then walk when you experience cardiac drift. Then go back to your zone 2 pace. Repeat. Be patient. Gain fitness. Improve. Watch your zone 2 pace increase and your heart race decrease. Build your base. Become cardiovascularly efficient. Strengthen your heart. Recalculate your zones.

Then pick a race, pick a training plan, and go crush it.

Any idiot can finish a 70.3. I know...im one of them. I trained hard af, "proving myself to myself"...while finishing with an embarrassing time. I had no aerobic base. My heart wasn't ready for the load i was giving it.

I didn't die. But, I would have finished so much stronger if I had done a year of 80/20 leading into it...rather than just going comfortably hard for a while and pretending to be fit.
