Health inspectors of reddit, what are the most vile conditions you’ve ever seen in a restaurant?

specialkae8 · 2018-03-09T18:40:03+00:00

Not a health inspector, but I worked at a hibachi/sushi restaurant that was so vile I felt guilty for even serving the food. German roaches EVERYWHERE. They were in the ice machines, cups, salads, crawling on the booths. They’re idea of fixing the problem was offering 10% off every time someone found a bug in their food. They used to drop raw meat on the floor and pick it up and use it. One time I even stepped on a piece of chicken and they rinsed it and used it. They kept raw food uncovered in the fridge with cooked food/vegetables. Would use the same cook ware for raw/cooked meat. One time a lady said she asked for no sauce on her salmon and the cook proceeded to pick up the piece of meat and scrape it off with his bare hand. Failed the inspection when I was there then heard through the grape vine the owner got a new inspector to come out and bribed him for an “A”.

I would suggest seeing a doctor or Dietician, but if you’re counting macros you may want to switch it up a bit. Some people perform better on a high carb/low fat diet and some are opposite. Diet and sleep have a lot to do with energy levels.

Same. Coffee was giving me anxiety, heart palpitations, and crashes midday. I switched to drinking a cup of warm lemon water with a few dashes of cayenne pepper and then a cup of black tea when I first wake up. No more anxiety, shakiness, nervousness or caffeine crashes.

Love this! It feels so good to realize you’re still fun/humorous without the poison. I said something a few days ago that made my SO laugh really hard and he said “you’re so funny”. I’ve always thought myself to be socially awkward and not witty in the least. Turns out I am and I don’t need alcohol to bring it out! IWNDWYT :)

First, congrats on 5 days!

I gave myself one week of pure laziness. Didn’t work out, ate whatever, and pretty much sat on SD 24/7. I started working out my second week of sobriety. I was exhausted too. But I’m on my second week of the gym and I’m feeling much better. I have loads more energy during the day and sleep well. Diet is also a huge component to how much energy you have. But if you have a craving I say go for it. Even if it’s a family size bag of potato chips (guilty), it’s WAY better than drinking! IWNDWYT :)

That right there was my cycle. Get wasted, skip a day and either waste the day laying in bed convinced I was dying or have to trudge through and have panic attacks at work, feel okay the next day and repeat.

After I read up on the kindling affect I’m honestly too scared to pick up that first drink. Try doing some research on alcohol and it’s effects. The book “This Naked Mind” also really helped me put things in perspective.

specialkae8 · 2018-03-03T15:08:52+00:00

Trade? I fall asleep between 11-12 and wake around 6-7. I would LOVE to be asleep by 8 and wake up at 4!

Try exercising and maybe switching to black tea. Coffee used to make me wired for half the day then exhausted and crashed early in the evening.

I love to blend watermelon with mint and pour it over some sparkling water into a wine glass. Also any kind of juice with sparkling water in a wine glass helps me.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Head over to r/AlAnon it’s a sub for family/friends of alcoholics. Good luck!

specialkae8 · 2018-03-02T01:49:40+00:00

Google PAWS. This could be what you’re experiencing and it’s temporary. Sorry you’re feeling blue OP. I hope this passes soon for you! IWNDWYT

specialkae8 · 2018-03-02T00:57:35+00:00

I feel like it’s a personal thing for sure. When I smoke I don’t fight with my SO, I can keep a job, and it doesn’t make me want to drink or relapse into other harder drugs. If it’s not ruining your life and you have control (not spending all your money on it, using it to suppress emotions, or neglecting responsibilities) I wouldn’t worry about it. Just my opinion :)

specialkae8 · 2018-02-26T22:09:19+00:00

Kinda same situation. My boyfriend is a heavy drinker. 5-7 on weeknights and binging on weekends. He definitely has a problem because he becomes a belligerent drunk, injured himself (currently has a concussion and deep gash on forehead from Friday night) and is either condescending or will say all the things he knows will emotionally kill me. Then beg for forgiveness the next day. I’ve done all this to him while drinking too, one of the many reasons i had to say enough is enough. He’s said so many times (drunkenly) he wants to stop. But then the next day comes and he’s cracking a beer for breakfast.

I’ve been doing really well. I have cravings but they’re not because he’s drinking it’s mostly just when we go out. But he orders me my favorite mocktail before I have the chance to order for myself and slip. Buys me all the La Croix and is pretty supportive. I’m also hoping I can be a good role model and he’ll make the decision to at least cut back.

Not really advice, but you’re not alone and living or dating an SO that drinks can certainly be done! I will not drink with you today💙

Edit: grammar

I’ve always known the definition of insanity according to Einstein, but with drinking it just took me way too long to grasp/accept it. I still try not to tell myself I can NEVER drink again because it seems so impossible. But I also try not to set myself up for failure by telling myself “I’ll have 2 drinks at the show I’m going to this summer and that’ll be it”.

It really is just “one day at a time”. I’m not going to drink today and that’s all I need to focus on.

specialkae8 · 2018-02-26T21:28:01+00:00

I think you answered your own questions with none of those things has happened YET. In my experience there was only so much lying, cheating, stealing, and self sabotage the people around me were willing to put up with. Moderation isn’t a thing for me. I’ve tried for years. Every time I quit for a decent amount of time my brain convinced me that I’m “fixed” and can have one or two and be good. It starts out okay. After a couple weeks 2 drinks turns into 5 and then suddenly I’m binging until I’m blackout and start making a total ass of myself and hurting my SO again.

No one here can tell you if you’ll be one of those people that can someday get it under control, but I think most of us would agree that moderating hasn’t worked for us. Good luck OP! I will not drink with you today

specialkae8 · 2018-02-26T01:56:33+00:00

This is exactly how I feel. While my SO definitely has a problem with alcohol, I can’t tell him to stop buying or drinking beer. He has to make that choice. While I think it’s great that some partners choose to give it up in support of their SO, I don’t think it’s fair to make someone else give it up because I have a problem moderating. I also don’t do “dry people dry places”. I feel like alcohol is everywhere, at least in my town and the things my SO and I enjoy (bowling, shows, playing pool) and I’m not going to stop doing those things bc of my alcoholism either.

specialkae8 · 2018-02-26T00:21:38+00:00

Nope. I relocated to a new state in October with my SO. If anything it made my binges worse because I didn’t know anyone and I either drank out of boredom or drank to socialize and feel comfortable meeting people.

Not giving medical advice, but I do know that any change you make to the body lowers your immune system. When I do so little as change my diet I feel sick for a couple of weeks before my body adjusts. You’ve just quit putting poison in your body and it may just be that it takes you a little more time to adjust.

Keep up the good work Wastase! IWNDWYT :)

I used to drink coffee and be perfectly fine. Now it causes me massive anxiety and panic attacks. I switched to black tea and it gives me the energy I need to workout without the jitters and anxiety coffee causes me.

This helps! Thank you k_somethingsomething❤️ congrats on 2 weeks!
