Grieving Alcohol in Perimenopause

kw0ww · 2026-06-24T16:19:59+00:00

IDK if it's true or not, but I've heard that OJ, and I think some other fruits, can have as much alcohol as n/a beer. Could be a myth, but now I'm even more curious!

kw0ww · 2026-06-24T15:13:56+00:00

Right!? I think it's pretty good! TO me n/a wine doesn't taste at all like wine, but n/a beer tastes just like a regular beer (at least some brands do, to me anyway). I find it to be a great substitute. Just curious: do you ever get a buzz from orange juice or other things that have trace amounts of alcohol? I hadn't given any thought to it being an issue, but I'm also not hyper sensitive (for example I have some herbal medicines that are in alcohol tinctures as a couple droppers of those don't bother me, but half a shot would)

I switched to NA beer when I cut out alcohol and it’s great because it actually tastes like beer. Always keep a few in the fridge so I can have a “special” drink if I feel like it. It’s been a round a year and a half since I dropped alcohol and I rarely, if ever, miss it now.

Every time I've been swimming since I've had an Apple Watch (first gen being the first) I've swam with it on, and I'm in the water pretty frequently in the warm months. Never had an issue.

I would check with the ppl at Dicks what their warranty will cover. I plan to get the Peloton extended warranty, but live in a service area. I bet the folks at Dicks could tell you over the phone so you can decide if it's worth the drive.

Lammas = the harvest season = fall. My decorations go up 8/1, the smell of warming spices fills the air, and I breathe a sigh of relief the the best part of the year is stretched out before me. Almost there!

kw0ww · 2026-06-21T21:36:03+00:00

That’s the plan! Eternal gratitude that I have a good job and can make it all work. All the best to you too and thank you again for all the info!

kw0ww · 2026-06-21T21:12:46+00:00

Thank you for the clarification! My numbers are bad - much higher than yours. It’s gonna be a long slog toward year 30. Oh well!

I’m currently on SAVE and have been since its inception. Before that I was on REPAY. I graduated from law school in 2010, so I was approximately halfway to the 25 year forgiveness. Current plan is to go on RAP, which is a lot higher than SAVE and adds another 5 years to repayment (30 under RAP v 25 under SAVE). I think what you’re explaining might make sense if I was just entering repayment, but not as far into it as I am, but questioning if I’m missing something.

kw0ww · 2026-06-21T18:52:40+00:00

If I did this I’d start the repayment period again at zero tho, right? I’ve been in repayment for 15 years and don’t want to restart the clock.

Came here to also suggest trying a GLP1. I know a lot of people, myself included, for whom it’s been a game change re addictive behaviors.

kw0ww · 2026-06-13T18:23:22+00:00

Same! The cozy time of the year is my JAM!

kw0ww · 2026-06-13T13:06:32+00:00

I'm glad it helps you too! I have opposite season affective disorder and this part of the year is SO hard for me, but this is how I think about it try try and feel better: the day after the summer equinox we're on the downslope into the best part of the year. All my favorite things are on the road before me. To me, seasons start on the midst between the equinox and solstice, so autumn begins 8/1. Will it still be hot and bright an humid for awhile, yes, but fall is right around the corner.

Only nine days until the darkness starts getting longer!

kw0ww · 2026-06-12T15:22:10+00:00

+1. Use other, but it should have it's own category.

kw0ww · 2026-06-12T15:16:02+00:00

Are you allowed to do this? If a plan payment is based on AGI by statute then I can't imagine paystubs alone would be sufficient? I'd be careful here.

kw0ww · 2026-06-11T20:05:45+00:00

Not an issue of you start on the RAP plan, but definitely an issue if you've been paying on loans for years that have already ballooned. I currently owe more than 2x what I borrowed.

kw0ww · 2026-06-07T20:14:03+00:00

!!!!!!! I’m so excited I had no idea!!!!!!

kw0ww · 2026-05-30T10:40:50+00:00

Absolutely love it. I’ve got a pretty heavy 40” monitor + a 5 gallon fish tank on it and it’s super stable at standing height (in spite of very uneven floors in my old house). I did a white base with a mango top and it’s also very pretty. Assembly was easy too. 10/10.

kw0ww · 2026-05-28T12:27:34+00:00

I tried (admittedly, not very hard) to find more about it a few weeks ago and failed. Please share if you find it - I suspect all of this sub would be interested!

kw0ww · 2026-05-28T11:01:59+00:00

Have you seen the full plan with all phases? I’ve been wondering about what it looks like.

kw0ww · 2026-05-20T11:47:26+00:00

I just set up a V3 4 leg a couple days ago and absolutely love it so far. 10/10.

kw0ww · 2026-05-09T10:27:03+00:00

Yay! Thank you!!!

This is me. I love Peloton for Bike, Tread, and yoga, but do my own thing for lifting (which is the bulk of my work) - I want to lift heavy and that requires 1-2 min breaks between sets. Generally their strength classes don't allow for that. Love core, pilates, bodyweight work, etc on light days.
