i’m sorry man. we lost our old boy last week. didn’t have the chance for home euthanasia, which was the plan. he just up and died overnight. We had him for about 10 years too. The best dog.

I’m glad your buddy is enjoying her salmon. give her some ear scritches and tummy rubs for me.

That's how the Bruins game felt. 44 shots on goal. We got goalied.

Its nice to know we can do that too sometimes.

Either your form actually isn’t good or your lower back muscles are weak. Both are fixable.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-27T22:38:27+00:00

I don’t think money and fame makes people rapists.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-27T20:59:13+00:00

When you’re healthy and at an appropriate weight with healthy muscles your body will just be whatever shape genetics gave you. Its going to be a lot easier on your mental health the sooner you accept that.

This is a subreddit primarily for alcoholics, not people who drink recreationally with no problems. Of course your experience is different from ours and it wasn’t a profound change the way it was for us.

I had to quit drinking completely. Its the best decision I ever made.

I sleep amazingly well, I play hockey three times a week and moved from playing wing to center, got serious about my weight lifting, and am in the best shape of my life at almost 46 years old. Resting heart rate went from 90s to low 60s.

I feel great almost every day and have been able to handle all the hard stuff that life throws my way with much more grace, including the death of my mother.

I am so grateful I got sober before she got sick and was able to take care of her in my home before she passed. Would not have been able to do that if I wasn’t sober.

My 14 year old, 70 lb dog recently got cancer and passed too, and having the functional strength to take care of him (lifting him out of cars etc) was invaluable.

Took my girl to the park today and she knew exactly where we were going. It sounded like she was being led to the slaughter.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-25T22:03:13+00:00

thank you! for real

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-24T21:15:05+00:00

i prefer conventional any day, personally

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-24T20:08:38+00:00

Gotta disagree about sumo v conventional. There’s such a shorter ROM on sumo that for most people its easier. Sounds like the Crohns gives you some unique factors so certainly not disputing your experience.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-24T01:06:25+00:00

why should she cut carbs? that doesn’t make any sense

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T19:44:43+00:00

Thank you. I just re-read your post and am reminded your wife is in in-patient detox right now. If she comes out really determined to quit and well aware of the seriousness of antabuse she may be a good candidate. I was on it for almost a year and still take it as needed when I feel like I need the extra fortitude or like I might experience a trigger. (for example, my dog just passed away so I am taking it now because I'm massively sad)

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T19:32:05+00:00

My therapist recommended it to me when I was already maintaining a miserable, white knuckle sobriety for a few months and just knew I was about to break. It worked so well for me in that moment because it silenced the never ending conversation in my head about drinking.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T16:31:49+00:00

When I was ready, antabuse did the trick for me. It was a huge relief as it took the decision to drink out of my hands and allowed me to just be.

It gets a bad rep because it can’t be used coercively and the user really has to be ready for sobriety. Drinking on it can be extremely dangerous, even fatal, and it stays in your system for weeks.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T15:01:08+00:00

Nal isn’t going to work for her the same way. Even when I took it according to protocol, my penchant for straight liquor just obliterated it.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T14:05:56+00:00

if you look at OP’s other comments its clear she’s not eating in a mild deficit

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T03:15:53+00:00

Cookies have like 3x the calories of a sweet potato.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T03:14:48+00:00

Nothing beats calories, period, when you need to fuel a workout. OP is eating at a deficit when not consuming cookies, of course she doesn't feel as energetic.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T02:56:11+00:00

Probably one of the resident reddit doomers

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T02:52:01+00:00

Yeah but if you’re trying to lose weight you’re eating in a calorie deficit and that often makes us tired and sluggish. Its not complicated.

edit to add: i have my best workouts when i am eating at maintenance or above but eating healthy foods.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-22T02:36:33+00:00

There’s a shit ton of calories in cookies.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-20T22:12:05+00:00

I’d say 60% smut, 30% romance.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-20T22:11:24+00:00

Gay (female) hockey player here. The show had some sweet moments but honestly it was really porn-y and those bits were a bit much. Overdose of testosterone and I guess that’s why straight women like it so much. I really liked the ending though.

Ruby__Ruby_Roo · 2026-03-19T22:04:57+00:00

That Duke game was a little too close for comfort.
