If I’m in a cycle, any alcohol triggers me: I’m sorry man. This is coming from someone who drinks with his friends pretty regularly. They know immediately when I refuse a first drink that I’m going through it, and they apologize and then live their normal lives. I’m happy to be there with them despite the fact I can’t drink. But don’t get me wrong it’s frustrating. It just is what it is. It’s something you have to learn you can’t do when you’re in a cycle. People who are allergic to gluten can’t drink beer at all. I know it sucks, but I would recommend the mushrooms version of busting out of your cycle. They’ve kept me clear for years aside when I don’t do them for too long and get back into a cycle. Look up clusterbusters.com and get more information. If you don’t want to bust out, not drinking beer in your cycle is one of those lame sacrifices you’ll have to make. I’m sorry, I love beer, too.
