The Science of Fasting

zeetes said

i need to cut, way, way, back on the alcohol. girl i have been sorta seeing doesn't like it when i am trashed. i have to prove to her i can be sober. i like her, so i am complying.

this is day 2. not bad. wednesday i got totally trashed, have been on behaviour since she told me (yesterday).

wish me luck homies.

fork, this probably isn't even the right thread.

Zeetes whatever gets you started is great. I’ll point out a couple of things that will help though.

first I would look for your own reasons to concentrate on. Like how you feel when you wake up, positive activity you can do again like exercise and reading, etc. Doing it for someone is great but for longevity you will find it easier to do it for yourself.

and that brings me to the second. Never concentrate on a negative, always a positive.

test it yourself and see how you feel. Try “I can’t drink tonight, I can’t drink tonight” and watch how your body tenses up

now “i get to feel good in the morning. I get to be present for what is going on right now, etc”.

going on five years and I have never looked at the negative and I have never struggled. And I don’t like to try to out do anyone when it comes to my addiction but I can say it would have been physically impossible for me to be a worse case alcoholic. It almost killed me several times. So to say I don’t struggle is a mouth full.

love you brother. You can hit me up anytime if your struggling.
