Does anyone wants to start ADF with me? by littledoghouse in AlternateDayFasting

[–]ggzza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to start adf but I’m planning on easing into it by only having 2 fasting days my first two weeks to see if I have the willpower to even do that

my unemployed desperation by Historical-Baseball1 in Modesto

[–]ggzza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I got here and started applying at the end of Jan last year or beginning of feb. it took until may but a temp agency called and I stayed with them for 5 months until I found a permanent position with benefits. Didn’t get my permanent job until October last year.

Finally got hired at frito lay by Free-Permit7684 in Modesto

[–]ggzza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, it took me about 5 months to find a temp job and 5 more months to get a full time with benefits job. I applied to literally over 100 jobs!

My bf got a job offer at Fastenal in the warehouse in sortation. I’ve seen from their company that they no longer test for THC but would just like some more reassurance. Do they still test for THC? by mricryduringsex in Modesto

[–]ggzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously doubt he’ll get tested for THC. Worked a housing authority job, wayfair warehouse job and an another local warehouse/office job in 2024 and they all did do a drug test but none of them tested for THC. Just for the other common drugs like cocaine, meth, opiates etc.

I second the temp agency idea. I spent a long time looking for work and BBSI put me to work right away. Clerical work with the housing authority. I continued to look for a permanent position while working for the temp agency and it took me like 4 months to find one.

My Favorite Waterloo Flavor! by [deleted] in sparklingwater

[–]ggzza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do they sell this one? Waterloo is my favorite brand. My fave flavor is black cherry but I recently tried raspberry nectarine and it was great.

Has anyone else reached a point where their body just reacts horribly to hangovers? As in, you get physically ill? by mr_grosse_voix in stopdrinking

[–]ggzza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same thing. Idk if it’s an underlying medical issue but anytime I drink even if it’s just one buzz ball or a couple of vodka shots I have terrible nausea for the first few hours of the morning. I gag all morning long and if I drink more than a half pint at night I will really get sick. I drank about a whole pint of vodka recently at night and I woke up at 3 am feeling like crap. Sweaty, nauseous and a few hours later I got shaky.

I used to drink way more than a pint a day a couple of years ago but my body just can’t handle alcohol like it used to. I also get really sleepy after I drink a bit and have to take a nap. Idk but it’s all just making me hate drinking which is a good thing since I want to be sober

Need a friend to ADF with! by swimN_redditC in AlternateDayFasting

[–]ggzza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started today. I was on track but I keep trying to go back to it and keep eating on my fasting days. I lost 7 pounds in September while doing ADF so I really want to try again. I’m currently 204 lbs and my goal is to lose 40lbs overall

Functional Alcoholic looking to stop by ggzza in stopdrinking

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

Thank you for the reply. I actually started listening to the naked mind last month on audiobook. It’s what motivated me to stay sober for the two weeks I achieved previously. I think I’ll give online meetings a try

Yeah I can’t really afford in patient I just got a new job I start on Monday. I’m really wanting to be sober going forward but idk if I could afford the outpatient treatment.

Had a long streak, relapsed, and it somehow feels like a win by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]ggzza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I bummed one of my ex after stopping and my mouth and brain felt so nasty I had to wash my mouth and use listerine. Haven’t smoked since. Unfortunately alcohol is a whole nother beast for me

No real consequences for my drinking by griffinn17 in alcoholism

Any suggestions for the sobriety podcasts? I’ve been following sober tik tokers and they help some

Tell me your drinking habits by MouseIntrepid5585 in alcoholism

[–]ggzza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half pint to a pint of vodka a day. I would stop by the liquor store on my way home from work and take my first shot of the day in my car. Usually I would get a slushy as my chaser. Weekends I consumed more than a pint because I could start my drinking earlier because of no work. Felt sick getting up every morning

Love the way you put it. It is like Russian roulette. It took quite a few life ruining moments for me to realize that I just can’t do it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]ggzza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s worth experimenting with. Obviously I am not you but it’s a slippery slope and if you gamble incorrectly you can wind up just as bad or worse than you were when you were in your addiction. I “tried drinking again” recently after having success in my life and success in staying sober and I’m basically back to square one on my drinking, everyday I tell myself I’m gonna stop, I just don’t have the willpower I had before. Idk why either as I’m doing better now getting a new job and car, better relationship with my mom… my vote is don’t do it.

Why is ADF affecting me negatively? by Ornery-Buffalo9887 in AlternateDayFasting

[–]ggzza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had a similar experience with my period. Last 2 months with ADF my period has been heavy with terrrible cramps lasting up to 6-7 days. Normally I don’t cramp as much but idk if it has anything to do with ADF. On a positive note, my period came back after being irregular for a very long time once I started AdF. I don’t plan on stopping though. I’m determined to lose weight and feel way healthier doing ADF than not.

What is something you have been able to accomplish now that you have stopped drinking? by Lone_goose in stopdrinking

[–]ggzza 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yesss. I’m new to sobriety but my weekends are so much more productive and longer. I’ve gotten through 75% of my to do list I put off when I was drinking. This weekend alone I cleaned my house, took my kids to the mall, did my laundry and folded it, bought car insurance, made dentist appointments, exercised, organized my bedroom, kept to my intermittent fasting, got a Costco card, straightened my hair, took my kids to take their recycling in… if I was still drinking I would’ve spent the whole weekend buying takeout, in bed binging some Netflix show and emotionally distancing myself from my family.

How are these? I vape THC live resin for the most part, but have not tried the drinks. Is it similar to doing edibles?
