This is a very nice place to visit.

What's up with the chix with guns? Glad it wasn't around when you were on HDB, Red! :H

Love what you shared about the book, Bruun, and can be extrapolated to many things. Like the evil weed I suck down every waking moment. I have been trying to come up with something to say every time I light one up. "I don't want this." has not been working. At all. It's a lie. But it IS killing me, and makes me feel terrible to boot. I'll try that. It is certainly not a reward. That's just messed up that I think of it that way, and I didn't really realize I was doing it.

Bruun, I should've known that you'd be on the iodine connection, but Isolde, are you? I think it may have helped me a great deal to eat some actual table salt instead of kosher/sea etc... And I'm with you all! I take enough dang pills! (Not trying to be insensitive, Bruun! But you've got the supp thing well under control!)

Have a nice night, folks! I'm off to ingest brain parts.

Oh! And I bought some coconut oil. Not sure why. Seemed to be the thing to do. :H

bruuuun! that's fantastic about the not-drinking and that you're feeling better! it's just great and i'm thrilled to hear it! wow.

brenda, your display made me laugh very hard for a long time, so thank you. i've been a real eeyore these days, and that moment was just the ticket! (but what's with the foreign money? i thought you lived in nyc.)

what the heck is the name of the jason vale book, gals? i looked him up and he appears to be a juice guru. (spkg of, i have GOT to dig out my juicer; since my appetite is so funkified, i'm not eating enough vegetables, but i have no trouble getting liquid down, so...) anyway, sounds like a great book, and that it has helped you out, huh?!

doggy and someone were mentioning the future recovery methods. i just got dealing with addiction: why the 20th c was wrong, by peter ferentzy, phd, crackhead. i'm going to dive into it and i'll report back. the guy has spent 20 yrs studying addiction and recovery, and he considers the buzzwords like 'hitting bottom' and 'abstinence' to be code for approaches that promote degradation and death. he's got impressive endorsement, so i think this book will be good. i'll let you know what i learn.

speaking of books: isolde, i'm glad you found nourishing traditions. sally fallon is a bit of a guru for me, and her book has been my bible. did you buy it? it's a great read, even if you're not cooking/fermenting something. there's a ton of fascinating information.

bruun, i'll be 42 in a couple of weeks, so you weren't far off. funny, when i was still actively drinking, i was always looking for a man, or having a mediocre relationship with one who wasn't quite right for me (there was always a huge ingredient missing). now that i am sober, it is no longer a preoccupation (it helps that i no longer need to have a child, which i think was -unknowingly- driving my obsession for years); life is good and full as is. it sounds like the same is true for you, that you're focusing on you and not getting distracted by the lack (of anything) in your life. glad you didn't call that narcissist who sounds very predictible: blech.

is, why do you think you're sweating so much at night? i have had a bunch of that, too, along with the cold. sometimes i am cold to the bone, as if i'm made of metal, but soon enough i'm dripping wet (and it's not always from too-heavy covers, nor is it from sexy dreams, alas).

ahhh, guns. my dad used to sleep with one under his bed (or was it his pillow?), in case someone who didn't like one of his judgements decided to pay him a visit. fortunately, that never happened (that i know of). but he did shoot a coyote once -a really big one- on the front lawn (too bad i missed it), because it was menacing his beloved australian shepherd, whom he treated with tons more love and affection than he ever treated me. but i am not mad or sad. i am glad that that dumb dog is now as dead as the coyote. (stupid boomer bit everyone, and my father blamed it on the people -for being scared, or for holding their elbows too high; true comedy, indeed!)

in an attempt to put down this tired that has been doggin me for days, i shall now go prone with book. thanks for the company, everyone.

Hey all!

Home computer blew up and work is a beast. Up to 80 on Bac again and the somnolence and lack of sleep are my worst and only se's as before. Still doing the antabuse but skipping days.
Gosh, I hate the brain fog but craving is worse.
Took my crashed computer to Mr. fix it...:-)

I haven't really read all the back stuff, but will. Doggy, thanks for always asking about me. I will make it.

This is true. And this year I have been going to places and doing things that the Universe directed me to. Maybe that means I was the one saying "Yes"?

I read all up on iodine treatment quite awhile ago, back when I lived on the CureZone.org forums. I was all ready to do all kinds of liver and kidney cleanses and start taking iodine and colloidal silver! I'm glad I never went that far with any of it. Not that I don't think it can't be incredibly useful for some people. But I am even done with the Master Cleanse, which I did quite a few times, sometimes for 20 days at a stretch. But now my focus is just on putting good, clean (as in, not processed), healthy food into my body every day.

Yay! I started a coconut oil cult!! I'm currently down to 1 Tbsp. a day myself. After a few more days, I'll stop it completely (but just temporarily). I need to see if any of the IC symptoms come back. When I finally saw the urologist, he said he doesn't think that's what I have (yay!), but I am skeptical, I had all of the symptoms. What happens when I stop taking coconut oil will be the true test. And I need to find out before my follow up appt. with him after Thanksgiving.

I haven't bought it yet. You can read quite a lot of that book for free on Amazon with the "Look Inside" feature, so I've had it on one of my internet tabs for the last few days, and read a few snippets of it here and there when I have time. With such a lofty recommendation, I think I will put it on my Christmas list.

Brenda, I am finally just getting around to seeing the pic of your coconut oil (can't see pics at work for some reason). If those lines are of your coconut oil, then I think whatever you paid for it was a DEAL and a HALF! :H Can you ship me some? Seriously though, the pic of it actually looks like coconut oil, but it shouldn't be that hard and unmeltable. I would try another brand. Make sure it's organic and unrefined (you know, like yourself).

So folks, I finally got around to taking that hot yoga class after work tonight. It was a-fucking-mazing. I must have sweated out pounds. Walking out of there, it looked like I'd just come from being out in a rainstorm - my hair and clothes were absolutely soaked through. But as I laid there in savasana at the end of class, an overwhelming feeling of gratitude swept over me, and all of my being said "THANK YOU". It was a very cathartic, cleansing and purifying experience. Assuming that my knees are not screaming at me tomorrow (so far, so good), I will absolutely make it a part of my regular routine.

I feel like such a hippie tonight - when I got home from yoga class, I drank a bottle of homemade kombucha and made a green smoothie for dinner (complete with a raw egg cracked into it and raw milk - it was absolutely delicious). Oh, who the hell am I kidding? I AM a hippie! And I heart me. :h

Hopefully the bac will get rid of your cravings soon and you can stop taking antabuse altogether.
I hope your crashed computer is fixed soon! Computer problems are damn near as bad as car trouble.

Bruun, that's great to hear you've been able to go AF free this week. Doesn't it feel great?

So I got to thinking, and they must not have civilized food in...New York. Here's what CO looks like in the West...Coast...




Also, I was at the store today and saw something called a "Semi-stiff boning knife." After I finished tittering I got kinda sad, wishing that Murphy would've lived long enough to see something with that kind of name.

I'm on HDB now, and I'll remain so for a long time, Ne. Luckily, I'm a gentle spirit and nobody would ever see my gun. Unless they threatened my, or one of my kids lives. In that case they're toast. And they deserve to be! :H

Whoa there PissyPete, I noticed something very, very troubling in one of your pictures. Why Pete, why? Have things really come to this? Do you understand the damage you can do by using that? You should have made sure it wasn't in frame like that, because now your nasty little secret is out: you have an electric hob???!??!?!!!?!??!?!?!? That's such an energy inefficient, environmentally damaging, way to cook. Don't they have mains gas in your ass-backwards town? Plus, gas is a much quicker way to heat your smack.

Well, last night I didn't sweat at all while I was sleeping! At least, not that I noticed. I was out cold. For the first time in WEEKS, I actually woke up to the sound of my alarm!! The funny thing is, I was pretty sure that was going to happen, because of the hot yoga class.
I initially had to take xanax to fall asleep, because I was so wired, but I know that had nothing to do with staying asleep, because no amount of xanax or klonopin has been able to do that for me recently. I hope it continues, even on nights that I don't take the class.
I also feel happier than I have in awhile too, both last night and this morning. Hell, if I keep this up, by the time I have my appointment with the pscyh, I might only need to talk to him about ADHD! Here's hoping.

Pete, the only thing I could think of when I saw the syringe in your photo is that you're dosing liquid clen. But as you've made no mention of working out or trying to burn fat in your posts that I can recall, it's probably got something to do with giving medicine to your cat (do you have a cat?).

By the way, is that a honeycrisp apple? Aside from the syringe, that spread looks like the kind of stuff I take to work - coconut oil, apple, walnuts. Good stuff! :goodjob:

[SlipperyPete]

Bruun's Titting UP

I actually have several cats. Last time I counted I was up to 7, but it can be hard to keep track. They're way better than roommates
Nice catch on the Honeycrisp, which indeed it is, although I've been trying to look for this syringe you speak of. I think you're referring to my bleach, which I squirt onto the trays my dentist made for some pearly-white teeth.

Is,
I know somnolence and lack of sleep; Can hardly stay awake during the day and can not sleep at night. I need toothpicks to keep my eyes open.
This usually subsides somewhat in the next stage.

Bruun, I got the All One or All in One that I heard you and Sunshine talk about and I love it!
I actually shake it in my coffee and drink it warm!

Gotta Run,

Have a great day all!
