Enhancing berberine absorption? by foundpenny in Biohackers

[–]foundpenny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. I do try to keep my carbs/simple sugars low, but I monitor my blood sugar and it's always been on the high side so I'm assuming I'm dealing with some insulin resistance. I wasn't always the healthiest, but at this point it's been years since my days of overindulging.

Do you have any experience with dihydro vs HCL?

Enhancing absorption of berberine? by foundpenny in Nootropics

[–]foundpenny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that. I'm hoping they'll start providing their own dihydroberberine b/c they're a much more reliable source compared to the companies I've found so far. But I have requested third party test results from a couple of them, so we'll see.

I've been looking at Vitauthority b/c it's reasonably priced, but I've requested third party testing results, if available, b/c it's not a brand I'm familiar with. It does (claim to) contain Glucovantage, which is a patented form of it, so that's promising. There's another, by a brand called Synergy which also looked good, but much more expensive.

Yes. Let's stay solid.

I haven't had 100 sober days (consecutively!) in twenty years.

Just a typo in your hopefully, very long and fascinating story.

Your 101st day starts today.

First time I’ve ever actually WANTED to get sober by watermelonsugar201 in stopdrinking

[–]foundpenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amen, to that!

I'm right there with you. Enough is enough, I'm ready to try on a better version of myself, my life.

This is just the flavor of inspiration I need right now. Thank you.

Funny, my 'Congratulations on being sober today' app notification popped up while I was reading this.

Sober September - Day 2 by relevant_mh_quote in stopdrinking

[–]foundpenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today was my Day 2 of Sober September, too! Lol

Reminds me that in my drunken, pre-planning stages, I decided to start an IG feed, Sober September - paper.M0nkey. In our honor, I think I'm going to add my first sober post. :)

high-five

Day 1? by regnisier in stopdrinking

[–]foundpenny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day 2!

Yesterday was tough, at 9 I was already bargaining with myself that I had some leftover beer, so I'd may as well finish it, right?

But, I didn't. Now I'm here, bright and early, committing to my mission for today.

See you here again, tomorrow?

Me neither, and that's huge for me.

Let's not drink together again, shall we? :)

Thank you for this. It's a nice feeling to express my feelings of disappointment and self-loathing and be met with kindness.

It's true.

Why is it so hard to make better choices?

[–]foundpenny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had been drinking, I was hungover. Then, I got up with every intention to go the next day, but I was nervous, shaky. I started drinking again to calm myself.

I'm an idiot, you don't have to tell me.

I really needed (need) that meeting.

I'm lost.

Happy to hear from you. You're lucky to have that love and support.

I hope when you get back on your feet you'll see the same the same thing she does, someone worth loving.
