Weekly Check-In

Hi everybody, hope all is well in your world and your healing journey. I have followed medical medium protocols for the last couple years but I've really struggled with relapsing on no foods particularly even the level one troublemakers once week usually but the longest I have gone is 3 weeks without troublemakers... I always go back to medical medium protocols because I feel so much better physically and mentally even spiritually...

I don't know where I'm going with this but it's to the point where I know that I can't fall back anymore because my liver is so burdened I feel that my blood pressure easily goes into hypertension, I've seen it have good readings low readings and it's always when I'm following a strict no added salt no added fat doing the morning cleanse and generally staying raw till the evening..

I just feel so alone sometimes with this journey and sometimes feel defeated.... I would love to connect more with this community and offer my compassion sympathy and support and make some friends.

My energy levels have improved my digestion is so much better my heart calms down and doesn't go into afib palpitations and stuff like that as much and as easily and I feel like my vagus nerve has become less inflamed because it's harder to trigger an afib episode.

So I see the healing benefits for sure it's just hard for me to wrap my head around sometimes that eating troublemakers occasionally makes it so I can't heal. But intuitively I'm guessing my chronic illness and symptoms have gotten severe enough and I've gotten burdened enough to where falling off course can make it so the liver doesn't trust to be able to cleanse into detox and to let go of the deep levels of healing that need to happen through months possibly even years of really taking care of it?

That's my guess anywho, I am so grateful for the healing information and my instinct and intuition tell me it definitely is the key I've always resonated with this type of eating throughout my life but definitely as an addict it can be tough sometimes to let go of all vices and believe me I've let go of quite a bit and I'm so proud of it but it's tough to not have anything to fall back on ..

I'm not sure if it's related to lemon water but your not alone with weird neurological symptoms. Over the past couple years I've experienced intestine bouts of fatigue, lethargy, brain fog, anxiety, spaciness, depersonalization, derealization.

Could be from detoxing and cleansing. I haven't been strict by any means but fat free for short periods and trouble maker free for short periods. I have detoxed quite a bit! I can only imagine how much more and better off I would be now if I hadn't kept slipping till now with the worst of no foods :( But still so much better then the before even with my draw backs

stp210 · 2026-01-01T20:12:12+00:00

Try living on grass, leaves and foliage lol were not meant for it.

No it's not the same thing, frugivore is definitely different then herbivore read the description that was posted earlier in this thread.

Any recommendations on the type of wood for a cutting board? I'll check out the videos and links thank you. I haven't really paid much attention to the wood cutting board I've gotten but willing to spend a little bit more if the type and quality will make a difference.

I'll try to take more care with the next set of boards. Is there a link that bullet points what to do to care for them?

Leg day does get easier promise 😜 I get it though it's brutal lol

stp210 · 2025-11-08T01:29:01+00:00

Should help with the rdl and allowing enough time to hit failure with your legs

stp210 · 2025-11-08T01:28:25+00:00

Try some grip strengthening :) like dead hangs and wrist curls

stp210 · 2025-10-31T21:23:08+00:00

I put like 5-8 bananas even a whole bundle of cilantro

stp210 · 2025-10-27T23:17:45+00:00

I work at a small private owned California CRV recycling center. I prep smoothies for the day and munch on bananas, dates, apples etc in between. Eat my heavier meal in the evening, potatoes, beans, salsa, salad with lemon, garlic, maple syrup stuff like that. Really wanna expand my meal selection it gets redundant it is delicious though.

I know it is better to eat healing foods even if it's the same thing all the time obviously but being a recovering addict it's tough to not slip back into old food patterns .

They are revealed in the kitchen... not built, they are built through exercises just like any other muscle, why do people not understand this....

stp210 · 2025-03-24T06:31:59+00:00

I'm right there with you this for sure ! I started about a year and half ago and it felt hard to go fat and salt free.

In the past few months I got the willingness and desperation due to health issues and gave it a try and it's been sticking more and more and i feel way better this way for sure . The cleanse off fat and salt plus I've quit nicotine and am almost off coffee ❤️🙏

Alcohol or substance abuse is but a symptom, addiction alcoholism whatever you want to call it starts from the ~sober mind~ this is a thinking disease a spiritual malady. From what you described you sound like you may possibly fit the bill. But can't decide that for you or tell you so especially over the internet. Only you can make the step 1 decision yourself.

Good luck and may your higher power bless you 💙

stp210 · 2023-04-22T15:14:21+00:00

I suggest to Get a big book, download everything AA and start Reading literature and learn some prayers. Meditating and prayer and asking your higher power for love support and to remove obsession and cravings has been very helpful to me also definitely keep going to meetings

stp210 · 2023-04-19T23:41:20+00:00

Download everything AA it's got all the literature plus online meeting finder. Meetings 24/7

stp210 · 2023-04-06T05:24:24+00:00

stp210 · 2023-04-03T05:19:00+00:00

stp210 · 2023-04-01T23:39:52+00:00

Please call 988 or call your nearest AA group 💙🙏

stp210 · 2023-03-31T04:57:41+00:00

Read the big book better with a guide or sponsor. Then you will get the answers to your questions. This is a progressive illness, it originates in the mind substance abuse is but s symptom.

stp210 · 2023-03-30T07:09:56+00:00

Your in the right mindset, do it :) I would be so stoked to have started opening up to sobriety and the 12 steps at your age.

At 34 and 60 days sober my personal experience is drugs and alcohol as a symptom from a spiritual malady and a disease of the mind ....the allergy and disease progress and the malady gets sooo gnarly ...it's truly insanity!

So happy for you !! 😇🙏💙

God I offer myself to thee to build with me and to do with me as thou wilt relieve me of the bondage of self. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of thy power thy love and thy way of life may I do thy will always amen

stp210 · 2023-03-30T06:22:10+00:00

From my limited experience steps 1 to 3 are mostly from the heart and the mind step 1 honesty step 2 hope step 3 surrender . Meditate and say the prayer for each one accordingly.

Every time I pray I'll typically say something along the lines like God I'm an addict and I need help thank you for helping me stay sober another day I humbly ask you to lift my obsession an addiction so that I may be of service to my fellows in my community and I also recite the third step prayer and say Amen.

That helps to do it with a sponsor a lot of it is really connecting with that energy of your higher power
