Stopped drinking, I normally fast about 18 hours, but with the Naproxin I have to take with food, so I'm eating ever 6 hours at least a snack. The drinking is the big thing, we drink most every day (wine and some liquor) I really think the beer is what kicked it off. But really it's time to quit / slow down.

Looking at keto or Paleo I have heard is beneficial. Not sure if you looked into it.
I've been "looking into it" for at least 5 or 10 years. Lol problem is someone keeps making sourdough bread in this house and it's not me. Also the alcohol is a problem... After this event, I'm thinking it's not gonna be that hard to stay on the wagon. This thing is brutal.
I read "this naked mind" and that really helped me break the societal and subconscious and marketing pressure to drink for a few years but there was still this nagging temptation. Then understanding his love and letting Jesus into my heart filled the void that was tricking me into the desire to feel "better/numb/different".
Wife and I enjoy it, so it's hard to quit if the other one is doing it. But yes filling that void with other things seems to help. Been drinking decaf coffee in the afternoons around wine:30 lol
