it's how i stopped smoking a year ago, and this time it stuck... i've done it a couple times before this, over the years, but it was 6 months here, 9 months there, this time it's stuck, partly because i was getting so sick
same thing is happening now with alcohol... it's the heaviest damage in my health issues right now, makes me do stupid shit, etc etc, i need to get my shit together because otherwise i'm dying
and ironically this actually is making the depression start to lift, as that was what was causing it in the first place... and it was making me very irritable and prone to being mean and angry when i shouldn't be
anyhow, fasting is key to getting clear of alcohol i think, beacuse you have to recover your digestive function
Alcohol sucks. Just think of it as liquid poison because it is. I get that society/culture runs off that shit and always has, and it “can be used responsibly” but who fucking cares. Cutting alcohol out of my life entirely was the best thing i’ve ever done. That was 7 or 8 years ago now. I would recommend this choice to 100% of alcohol enjoyors. No offense alcohol enjoyors 😅
yeah, fuck alcohol, seriously
but in my case, also fuck sugar and starch as well, because diabeetus
part of what kept alcohol happening was that it increases insulin response, so it was slowing down some of the symptoms from being noticable, and this is something that i have in common with austro-indonesian people because that's part of my genetics and why i have type 2 diabetes now
before i end my fast i'm going to go visit a proper butcher too, some people here on the island have told me where to buy actual beef and i want to eat actual beef, because it helps my health the most out of all the foods, and i need to heal, so i can actually make my life work
This might sound dumb but reading this conversation has helped me identify and understand the concept of a craving. Whoa.
