To be fair, that bloke was a bit of a dick and his writing not terribly clear at times.

love the above quote. thank you, murph. i am now an official member of your fan club.

thank you murph and ne especially for making me laugh. i love the intelligent and funny banter that goes on here. you two are integral parts of it that keep me coming back for more giggles and wisdom.

the meanies who post here sometimes remind me of my ill-raised 14 yr old students: just plain dumb and operating solely from the amagdyla (pre-frontal cortex being under construction of some sort). i have found in my practice - though it is hard to do cotidianamente (daily), consistently - it is best to ignore them. with less attention and energy feeding them, the pests either go away, or calm down and be a little more nice. i'd rather spend my energy on the wonderful, positive people here, than indulge the crapsters in their crap.

Love you all positive people here on MWO. Thanks for sticking around. we NEED you here! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoo rudyb

Hiya Cake. You're in the right place if you have a fondness for sugar and a problem with booze.
Hang around.

Sheep? Don't get me started. I *almost* gave up meat when I found out how they made it. I almost gave up wool when I saw those nasty things up close. Wait, wool is made from plants? Maybe. whatever.

It's not just the smell of the goats. It's the eyes. I don't care, Rudy, what sweet name you impose on it, it's still a little creepy to have one in your living room. But it makes me like you that much more.

I started taking L-glutamine about 4 weeks ago in an effort to combat the huge sugar cravings I've been getting since becoming alcohol indifferent. I took it for 2 weeks, 10gram per day in 3 doses, with water, on an empty stomach and at least half an hour before eating.

I think I was doing it right, at least according to some of the posts on the Holistic Healing section, so why the fuck did my sugar cravings go through the roof? I stopped taking it 2 weeks ago and my sugar intake has returned to normal.

I'm asking this question here and not on the holistic section because, well, they're probably all hippies. :H

Murph- Did you see this thread started by Coalfire on glutamine?
Maybe you're having a reaction to it in a different way than she did-

Yeah. That needs a serious explanation. And I need to google that other word. Huh?

Dude. I'm not a farmer. How would I know? (I was supposed to go blonde today, I'm practicing for the part.)

Says the l-glut swilling vegetarian sober welshman who goes off on jaunts in the woods...with shaved goats. Next thing you know you'll be doing stuff with goat placentas. (ew) just sayin

Murph, L-Glut also had the opposite effect on me. I started supplementing with big doses (15-20 grams daily) of it and my sugar cravings sky rocketed! As soon as I stopped taking it, back to normal, which for me is not giving a shit about sugar.
Me and L-Glut just don't get along.

I have tried taking L glut on and off for years. I did take the capsules and had horrific results. The gas. I then ordered the powder at someone's suggestion and it seemed okay at first. Then I noticed I didn't have the gas, but my belly would swell up through out the day. You know, my jeans would get tight and I would get a muffin top. Trust me, there's nothing worse than a muffin top.

I thought, am I now getting ascites? Even though, I'm not an active alcoholic anymore? Turns out it was just the L glut. I'm off of it again. The muffin top can go to hell.

Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary

I’ve been down on 100mg/day for a while. Booze-wise all has been well but I kept thinking I was missing out on something and I didn’t know what. It didn’t feel like it was the drink but I just couldn’t put my finger on it.

So yesterday I decided to go back up to 175 again and when I went to the supermarket in the afternoon (about 4pm after having taken a total of 125) I realised what it was. It was my bac-grin. I get really jealous when people talk about how their lives have changed post-indifference, how they have so much more energy and focus and a get up and go attitude. That didn’t happen for me, I still leave the dishes for a as long as possible, I still need to sort out a new line of work because my business is slowly going to shit and I still leave it too long to reply to emails (even to people I really like or those who need my help...so sorry). But what I do have on high-dose bac is a completely different way of interacting with strangers and if you knew my back-story you’d realise just how important that is to me. I was walking around the shop looking at people, not with a if-you-invade-my-space-I-will-rip-your-throat-out snarl, but a hi-how-are-you?-this-is-kinda-fun semi-grin. The responses I got reflected my attitude and were all positive, except from one particular woman who tutted and turned away in a huff, but then again she did have rather nice boobs and I may have been grinning at them and not her. Hey what can I say? I like well-built milfs. I know, I know, I’m a bad, bad man.

That’s what I was missing; partly the ability to take some enjoyment from the mundane, but most importantly empathy with random strangers and the positive energy I receive in return, albeit fleeting and inconsequential to them.

Anyhoo, enough of this self-analytical bullshit, if I carry on like this I’m likely to become a woman. I blame Ne. :l

RE the L-glut: Fluff, Is and Red, thanks for that, I was beginning to think it was just me L-glut didn’t work for. Now I’ve got a kilo of white powder I need to get rid of and I just can’t help thinking it needs snorting.

There are sooooooo many things worse than muffin-top, for instance when girls wear those slightly too short t-shirts so they can show off their slag-flags (a mean and unpleasant expression describing the tattoos on the small of their backs, also known as tramp-stamps or arse-antlers). Don’t get me wrong, on the right woman it’s very sexy, but if you’ve got a beer-gut for chrissakes cover yourself up, or you’re just going to get upset when I stop you in the street and explain how dreadful you look. I find women are very easily offended when I point out their physical flaws. Huh, go figure.

Hey Murph - "Don't be sexist. Bitches hate that!"

(I saw that on a sticker on a lamp post. I'm sure it's old as the hills but I liked it.)

Well I find the world does look quite different on the other side of the switch... There's a line from Shakespeare - well, there would be - about alcohol turning men into cowards and it's true. Shopping missions for me would be grab a trolley, run for it, get to the cashier as quick and poss - and pray I don't have to stand in queue behind a cluster of morons trying to pay for 25 bucks worth of shopping with 5 cent coins.

Now I feel like some tosser from a advert. Waltzing around, not a worry in the world. Pretty much as you describe. In fact I have such fun in the supermarket when my wife asked where we should go on holiday I said Aldi or Spar will do me fine, ho ho.

My solution to the sugar problem is simple. It's an old voodoo ritual. You place a six pack of Snickers on top of the fridge (so the kids can't interfere with the Magick) and within a few days (or two) they will have magically disappeared. All sugar cravings will have vanished too but for some unknown reason you may find fragments of peanut stuck between your molars.

I know! Some birds just see everything as a sexist slight: "why are you asking me to sew your button back on? I'm your accountant", "no I don't think it's dangerous for women to be allowed to drive", "why do you stare at my breasts when you talk to me? I'm more than just a pair of tits you know!" - yeah well if believing that makes you happy, you carry on luv.

Your voodoo ritual intrigues me. I won’t pretend I understand the mechanism involved, but if the results are as profound as you claim then I must try it. I don’t have any Snickers (there were 2 in the cupboard last night, but they disappeared somehow) but I do have a big bag of wine gums. Do you think they would work as well?

Are people in AA allowed wine gums? Prolly not.

Hey Murph. Glad to see the posts on L-Glut as I am currently trying to slay sugar cravings and am about the L-Glut results I seem to be getting. So thanks to all for weighing in with your experiences - will be doing some experimenting.

I have no flippin' clue what "wine gum" is but I'm pretty sure AA would frown upon it. Whine is frowned upon as well, thank God. :H
