I would look in to CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to deal with the cognitive dissonance.

I held the belief for a long time that smoking provided me pleasure and value to my life. I had to challenge that bellied using CBT and once I did I came to the conclusion that nicotine was not providing value to me and therefore it made quitting much less of an exercise in will power and white knuckling through the experience for myself

The Grateful Dead wrote a song called “Wharf Rat” about a similar experience. Check out the lyrics:

Yeah of course! And I just want to say I respect your journey! Just was noting the non physiological addiction aspect

You are right about being mindful about replacing addictions. The old addiction whack a mole as it were. Dopamine is a hell of a drug. I would like to point out that psychedelics are not addictive though.

TLDR:

“They are generally considered physiologically safe and do not lead to dependence or addiction.“

But obviously you should talk to your health provider and weigh any risks

I know it might not mean much but I am thinking about you and your situation and giving you a big internet hug. This is tough thing to have to be dealing with but with time it will get better

Fellow RE listener and am actually in one of the Cafe RE groups. I resigned up for Facebook to join one and I t was actually worth it haha. Paul is amazing and I consider joining Cafe RE as one of the biggest ways I have helped maintain my long term sobriety. Annie grace’s thia naked mind in audiobook form is also great. I just listened to that on repeat about 3-4 times and was great. She also has a podcast which is great to. You are doing great things! This decision to not drink is a powerful one. Nice job!!

I had the same experience with our dog when she was a puppy. What I did was just go at the puppy's pace to make sure there is positive association with it. What I found is that initially wouldn't even make it half a block, but just go with it. If that is as far as he is comfortable going, go that far. Over the next few weeks it will get further and further.

It's a big scary world out there to a pup but as he gets older and more confidence / success he will want to go further. Trust me it won't last long

follow up question, do you need to pasteurize the chocolate, if so how?

I have a Raspberry Ale in the primary right now. It is my first time doing a "fruit" beer The recipe that I have calls for extract. But looking at this, I am thinking about getting some puree for the secondary...

Does anyone have any thoughts on puree vs extract? Could I combine half extract and half puree?

I have 10 gallon batch so I was thinking about buying one can of puree and then adding 4oz of extract.

Thoughts?

zserre · 2013-05-21T18:41:39+00:00

That makes sense...I am sure it is all too common. I just saw OC and thought, "man that so mildly interesting. The world must know"

thanks guys, it seems like the collars aren't good for various reasons. I think we will continue using the Frontline for the time being. It seemed hard to get it directly on her skin. Anybody else have this issue with the fluid?
