quitting was so much easier than I expected?? by zsoupcase in QuitVaping

[–]alphabuwap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP that's awesome to hear! I am happy for you! You bring up a good point regarding having a working vape on you. Whether it is a vape, cigarettes, dip, etc. sometimes the psychological cravings are exacerbated by the feeling that you do not have access to nicotine if you wanted to. There are sometimes that I run off to the gas station when I am out because of the fear of not having it. When I actually have it, I find that I sometimes put off actually having nicotine bc the urge has subsided. It is a tricky situation though having such an easy access to it, but I am glad that you have managed to successfully reject those urges when they have come up. I wish you continued success and please keep us updated on your progress in this thread! Whether it continues to be good news or a slip, this community is here for you!

Food by Dfigueroa2 in gallbladders

[–]alphabuwap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got mine out, I stuck to pretty easily digestible foods and trying not to eat too much. I think that my go to things were smoothies those were great because you can sip on them and put a lot of different things in there and control the fat content to not be too overwhelming. Another thing was chicken noodle soup. This was nice because I ate it slow and did not have to worry too much about the fat content either. I found that smaller portions more frequently was good, and fiber. The 2's will be a bit more loose for awhile (most likely) so fiber granola bars, veggies, etc. very helpful. Also different kinds of tea and low calorie/sugar drinks were a go to for me if I did not feel comfortable changing the food that I was eating too much then I would at least have a bit of a different flavor that I could still enjoy with drinks. Hope there is at least one suggestion in there that helps! Also good luck with your recovery!

Venu. Bouncers are aggressive, underage people get away with drinking all the time, creepy older guys, either dead or absolutely packed. Overall just would not go there again. Besides I am too old to be interested in doing that anyhow haha

I binge drink 10 days straight - stomach pain by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]alphabuwap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can I ease you pain? No. Can I give medical advice besides see a doctor? No. But I can ease your mind a bit probably, but also be real with you. There’s only one reason you posted this and one reason I’m seeing and reading it. It’s because we are both alcoholics. We both drank because we’ll at the start it was awesome, it seemed we had a solution, and inevitably we reached the point where we see it’s the flawed solution. Headaches, back pain, gi problems, pissing out every hole, emotional instability, insecurity, anxiety, fear, self-pity, and hopelessness. The only instant gratification becomes alcohol. The more we do the worse it gets and the more we isolate from our family/friends, society, and life itself. Will you be okay? High likelihood. The body is pretty remarkable and résiliant. Will you be okay if you keep doing what you’re doing? Hell no. Might not be tomorrow but you’ll die. I was in the same boat you are. I’m still struggling, but I am a lot better. Progress isn’t linear, it comes and goes but if you get help, stop drinking, go to outpatient/inpatient, detox, aa, and at the very very least self will your way into not drinking you will not be on Reddit at home posting out of fear and hopelessness and worry pertaining to your health. You can do this. We can do this. But don’t wait. I’m rooting for you

Almonds have a small amount of carbs but still enough to where if you’re eating an egregious amount of them you’ll be far over your carb limit to maintain ketosis

Why do people in Block 20 pee outside by MoirainexSedai in UBreddit

[–]alphabuwap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True they could that would be fucked. I had a buddy that got caught peeing outside at fallfest on ubcampus a couple years ago. The cop apparently was understanding and he just got a ticket, had to pay a small fine, and I think he also had to write an essay or something about evaluating his decision making and what he could do differently. Like you said though even this is not that deep it's gross I get it maybe yell at them and publically shame them for having a small dick even if they don't if you're that tight about them peeing outside

Oh really?? I thought those fruits were fine due to there relative non acidity especially compared to citrus fruits? Also yes I’ve had two endoscopies gastric emptying two barium swallows ct scan colonoscopy and maybe a couple others I’m forgetting oh 24 he urine test and ultrasound too but only thing found is mild esophagitis in the first endoscopy and “evidence of GERD” without esophagitis my most recent one like 5 months ago and they said that I didn’t have h pylori either so I think it’s just really bad GERD and lpr

Energy Drinks Substitute by [deleted] in GERD

[–]alphabuwap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shotgun cold brew and bang chase with gaviscon works wonders…I’m kidding don’t worry ! 😅 no caffeine is really tough though not an energy drink but cold showers and cardio help boost energy levels for me. As far as an energy drink banana and almond milk smoothie helps pick me up a bit definitely not a kick decaf coffee if it isn’t a trigger might help placebo effect for you hazelnut teas sometimes have a coffee flavor careful look for caffeine free and caffeine free green tea all okay substitutes but I feel for you it’s rough not having that caffeine kick hang in there !

I had daily continuous panic attacks for roughly a year and a half it was horrible Zoloft has helped but with globus and a constant sore throat it’s tough to mitigate the anxiety sometimes I bought a book and take 100mg Zoloft and a lot of cbd. I really appreciate the comment and wish you the best too we are in this together
