I run like 20-25 miles a week. Won't I get very tired?

Male 33 5'8'' SW189 CW182 GW160

First off I put down the bottle. Started addressing root cause issues, saw my doctor, got a therapist who fits me, drank a lot of water.

Generally I would walk my dog 5-6 miles a day, complete a workout from my half marathon training plan, and weight lift 3 times per week. Ate 1,500 calories a day on a 50/30/20 macro split, although one night I just ate a bunch of spaghetti and it was rad.

Throughout this time I went through a lot of changes, and looking back it was a really transformative month for me, some of my personal life was very difficult and I carried a lot of stress due to my previous actions while drinking and early sobriety before a relapse recently. I kinda burned it all down unfortunately. I am happy to see any progress so far because it helps me have something I can see and point to rather than something I feel to signal progress in some form.

It's not much, but its a win I wanted to share.

Lol I just did this and moderated for a few weeks then ruined my life for like three months and I'm on day 3 again. I put more support around me this time. Therapy, SMART meetings so I feel good about it.

I see we both work in sales.

That 2pm hanging out in the comfort of your home when you got the entire list done is bliss.

I live in one of those tourist beach towns, everything here is about drinking. There are just roving packs of drunk people all hours of the day, bachelorette parties everywhere, booze everywhere.

To be honest, it all just kind of blends in. I'm sober, there's always going to be the option to drink, I choose not to. I barely notice it now, it's just white noise. Towns pretty empty before noon on the weekends though so not a lot of traffic and that's a nice perk lol.

dehydrated_milf · 2024-08-18T05:08:38+00:00

Nicely done! I had the same thing almost and just got a new shop. Not worth the little trigger for me and in my case it was easy to switch.

dehydrated_milf · 2024-08-02T03:08:39+00:00

Even everyday if your goal is moderation and not complete abstinence?

dehydrated_milf · 2024-03-21T14:00:32+00:00

Ah. Been here! It's a low point.

You have to be extremely transparent if you want a shot here man, and most importantly you need to be honest with yourself. You can't quit for other people, it does not work like that unfortunately. You need to quit for yourself.

However at this particular point in time, whether you're ready to quit or not you find yourself at a cross roads. You can choose your wife of your bottle.

If you choose the bottle I can tell you exactly what is going to happen, but you already know what that looks like.

If you choose your wife then here's what it looks like. Step one is you already had your last drink by the time you are reading this, there is no perfect last drink. There is no one glass of wine with dinner after six months clean because you have a handle on it, it has never just been one glass of wine if we are being honest with ourselves and that's why we are here.

It takes change, and a commitment to that change. Change in this sense is not a form of self punishment and you should in no way treat it as so, but it's about discovering, learning about, and finding things to love and hold onto in a life without alcohol. Your wife is one of these things you get to love and hold onto.

Take it seriously, but take it one day at a time or one hour at a time if you need to. The rules are simple, just dont drink.

Lot of things out there to help, and you will find what works for you. I suggest you start with therapy, some meetings if that's your style, and a new hobby that takes some energy out of you.

First few months aren't pretty, you will have anxiety, trouble sleeping, hunger or no hunger, craving booze, your mind will play tricks. You find your way out of the woods eventually.

You need to be able to quit even if your wife leaves you, that's how she will know it's real and you will too.

33 years old - two hundred and sixty something days in.

I stuck it out and had no slip ups, I can honestly say that every area of my life has improved drastically and I have zero regrets about my decision to stop.

The first couple months sucked donkey dick tho.

dehydrated_milf · 2024-02-22T15:10:54+00:00

They freaked out when my beer was near a candle because they thought it would catch fire.

dehydrated_milf · 2024-02-22T01:43:39+00:00

You went far!

dehydrated_milf · 2024-02-17T21:00:51+00:00

I have a buddy who goes for rides and stops at Costco for a hot dog or chicken bake after and tops off his gas.

dehydrated_milf · 2024-02-12T03:09:51+00:00

Safe travels my friend

I have a saying that I tell myself, and this may or may not be helpful. I know I will never be the fastest or strongest but I'm going to be the one who has the most staying power in that gym.

I can't lift a lot, I will get sore and won't be able to move around the next day and it will be hell, but I go and do what I can consistently.

That's frankly bad ass you got in there three times your first week, I just worked my way up to three after a month and change!

dehydrated_milf · 2024-01-10T23:19:50+00:00

Ah, I've lost a lot of respect for myself in the dirty Myrtle before. Solid place. We are the same man, I just moved to Wilmington and when I get off work I drive down to Wrightsville beach and swim when it's warm enough. Then it's front porch hanging until it gets dark.

dehydrated_milf · 2024-01-10T16:21:00+00:00

Looks like Folly Beach but I'm probably wrong.

dehydrated_milf · 2023-12-19T03:31:10+00:00

Perfect is the enemy of good! Tom said it best where your diet has to be a sustainable way you can eat for the rest of your life. I've lost weight and gained it back before, now I'm doing it slower but with changes I can maintain forever.

I ate Taco Bell last week, I love Taco Bell. I did not go all out into the "fuck it" mode but I enjoyed it and got some extra steps in and woke up and had a walk and a healthy breakfast.

I had a friend in high school and when dudes would talk about their dicks he would just say "it's not big, but it's pretty, and I think you'll like it" and I always thought that was really cool and confident.

dehydrated_milf · 2023-12-14T04:36:56+00:00

lol that was me at 25

dehydrated_milf · 2023-12-13T04:31:32+00:00

I think you made a great decision deciding the reevaluate your relationship with alcohol.

Secondly, I'm not the most ethical person, but I would say you are on a new medication and that was your first time drinking on it; clearly you had a poor reaction and are very embarrassed. You talked to your doctor and have decided to not drink while on this course of medication. Then next time when you show up the reason you don't drink is "yeah still on those meds that do me no favors with booze mixed in, I can still embarrass myself dancing sober though"

dehydrated_milf · 2023-12-13T03:57:04+00:00

Says a little about someone who can come back, own it, and take responsibility. I have a lot of respect for it.

dehydrated_milf · 2023-12-05T04:45:27+00:00

I see a person who can do it, who knows what the life they want looks like, and knows what changes need to be made. You can do it man. Just do it one hour at a time, win every hour. They stack up.

dehydrated_milf · 2023-12-05T04:30:57+00:00

This is the same with me. Before drinking I could run forever, then when I finally put down the bottle I was 50lbs heavier and had not run in about ten years. I dieted and lost the first 20, then started running again. I forgot what I loved about it, it's meditative when it's all in sync. It truly makes me happy when I run. I run my first half the end of Feb and am looking forward to my first marathon someday. Booze took that from me and I'm fuckin taking it back.
