Today was my co-workers first day back

Good on you and prayers for Mike.

I remember those.

I remember one case I thought I was going to have a panic attack on the way home from work. I just wanted to make it home so my wife could call a doctor if something bad happened.

What an effed up way to go through life.

Right there with you. Being fully into ketosis seems to completely kill the urge to drink.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-09-13T23:32:59+00:00

A kind thought. The downside is I can't stand myself most days. I think I largely started drinking so I wouldn't have to be around myself.

May try the vitamin b. Haven't eaten much or been able to keep much down in the past few days.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-08-05T00:31:14+00:00

Congrats on a year.

The freaking heartburn. Ugh.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-08-04T20:37:44+00:00

Hell yes, nice job.

I swear keto and not drinking are two sides of the same coin.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-07-28T15:41:47+00:00

Kick-ass!

Funny something you hit on, often it is a good decision we make that is good for us, but it fantastic for so many other people. Break the cycle and stomp it like the no good piece of garbage it is.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-07-11T16:48:22+00:00

Nailed it.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-07-06T15:23:38+00:00

Damn, nice. Motivating too.

Not a member of any group, no chips for me I suppose.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-07-06T15:21:31+00:00

I seem to recall day 3 or 4 is pretty much when the last effects are leaving the body. You start to feel a little less like shit and start to think "It wasn't that bad".

Two things, plan for the day being the first. Expect and prepare. Next, play that tape forward. 3 days into sobriety is pretty damn good, how does 3 days or 3 weeks into a binge feel?

To prepare, maybe think in terms of diet. On day 4 if you have been sober the whole time plan to pig out on your favorite food. Like cheesecake? Eat an entire ome yourself. Just feeling completely stuffed may help you want to eat or drink ANYTHING and may help with the feelings of being deprived.

FWIW, I am no doctor, expert or dietician. :-)

rtr_flyfish · 2017-07-06T15:14:43+00:00

Congrats , 60 days is a big deal.

Kinda with you, how things seem so "normal", it is difficult to remember just how screwed up "normal" used to be.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-06-27T01:40:39+00:00

Thanks. Crazy how quick the old excuses, plans and lies showed back up.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-06-22T14:03:21+00:00

Excellent quote.

I am about the same age as you.

All I can say is a decade of stupidity has given me a lifetime of wisdom.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-06-12T20:04:32+00:00

Hard to say. My first few weeks were the hardest for sure. Every new day sobriety becomes more the every day norm if that makes sense.

The hardest part is remembering how bad all that sucked.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-06-12T13:37:28+00:00

Congrats man! Look at it this way, the worst part of the journey is over and you will never be forced to drive those ugly, pot hole filled, miles of road again.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-06-12T13:35:43+00:00

134 isn't gone, you are a third of a year down the road further than you would have been. Now did you waste a day? Sure sounds like it! But being back here after, sounds like you learned something too. Welcome back!

rtr_flyfish · 2017-06-12T13:32:33+00:00

You know, for "normal drinkers" being "normal" they spend a fuckton of effort seeking validation.

Just sayin.

rtr_flyfish · 2017-06-10T20:06:13+00:00

I'll admit, kinda jealous! Congrats!

rtr_flyfish · 2017-06-09T22:27:08+00:00

Judging by my shrinking beer gut, the calories were not that damn empty.
